As a consumer, I'm saying in my testing the DCR250 does not work well with Tamron like it does with Prosumer. If you focus 1:1 + DCR-250, the result is not as good as I get from prosumer like S9500 and FZ series. The shoots you mentioned doesn't look like being taken at 1:1. Looks like a 1:3 or even 1:5. Also there's quite a bit of PP being done. I'm a owner of DCR-250 which was bought off you, and I got great result with it on my prosumers (10x/12x). However, it doesn't works well on Tamron 90mm at 1:1.
