How did you manage not to scare the hoverfly off? When I have tried to use my macro lens I always seem to spook the subject.

I still think I got better photos with my Tamron 90 than I've managed with my much more expensive Sony FE 2.8. It's a shame Tamron don't do one in Sony E mount or I'd switch back.
Have never managed to get a hoverfly to stay still long enough to photograph. Insect photographing opportunities in South London seem pretty limited at this time of year, I really need to try and figure out my macro setup before Spring. Going to try making a pringle tube flash thing at some point.

Shit me I will have to eat my shorts.
My D5300 has the same sensor but my pics are shit.
Must be the photographer. :oP

@ad441 thanks. I'm using a Nikon D7500 (@Ordinata, not full frame though I did consider the option they were just too expensive for me) with the latest Tamron 90mm macro. My first proper macro set up and really happy with the results so far. I'm still using it in dumb point and shoot auto-scene-macro mode. I should really read up on how to do macro properly, and invest in a macro light sometime next year too.
