The Tamron is 2.8 thru the range

And for my money, it is a toss up between the Sony 100mm and this one.

And both are 2.8 at 1:1, never heard or seen contrary :)

I think you can get the Tamron for a really good deal too. The Sony/KM 100mm macro is legendary however. And if you end up with a 12mp or higher body, its something to consider.

Again a toss up. Tamron for the money is always hard to beat, and wins most of the time in my experience.
