Just exactly what I needed for my perennials!

[Borga Voffe]

this is my very first shot with my brand new shiny Tamron 45 /1.8

I am soo happy. I have a 105 macro, 12-28 zoom, 40 micro, 24 /2.8 and 70-300
None of tthese was useful for this specific purpose, taking some decent photos of them large garden perennials
Of cours, a tripod and that 105 macro would have done the trick better, what I need now, is a light setup - handheld supported by my knee

If only I had those lenses back in the 80-ies when I did this for a living ....

This is the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD you're talking about? I've had opportunity to borrow/play with that lens exactly one time but I was truly impressed with it on my D750. It vignetted in the corners pretty hard when wide open but on a DX body you probably won't have that issue. Image quality was jaw-droppingly good, the lens felt bank-vault solid, it operated with buttery smoothness and if a lens can manage to look "sexy" the 45mm Di VC USD it that lens; love the sleek, simple design.

Yep, its the sexy 45 1.8 VC
A lens proving primes does give better photos than zoom

So this is your "perennial" lens, then? HA!!

My second shot with this lens. I have never figured out how to photograph oxeye daisy in full shadows, using flash and ruining the shot.
Maybe this Tamron might learn an old dog some new tricks

Indeed my perennial lens!

Just like this, a photo of that lovely Wild Chamomile, a point and shoot picture just now when walking my dog around the corner. No tripod or heavy photo gear, just my Tamron 45 and d7200.
