The lens is a 60mm Tamron SP f/2 Macro Di. I picked it up at my local
photo store last week. I'm quite impressed with it so far. It's great
for macro, tack sharp and at f/2 a good portrait lens too. Focus is
fairly quick (although not quite as fast as the Nikon 60) and almost
silent. AND it came with a $50 rebate which was the clincher for me.
