The Viv has a good rep, but I've never used one. I have the Tamron and
love it's compact design and the true macro capability (1:2.5). Having
the closest focus at the long end is a big advantage over zooms that
have the highest magnification at the wide end.
Although not labeled as to lens, as they were done for another purpose,
these were taken with the Tamron
