Just got the Sigma 150mm Macro today and found this big lady under the patio table, I'm not very good Id'ing Arachnids but I think this is a wolf spider.

Thnx for looking

Looks a cracking lens, superb shots. Must start saving for one of these.

Nice shots and congrats on the new lens too. Looks like the giant house spider (Tegenaria gigantea).:thumbs:

You have done well for your first shots, enjoy your new lens.

If I saw that I would die.
Nice lens though!

Thanks for the comments, it is a big lens to hold and i think a tripod or monopod is a definate but it sure allows you to get good shots without getting too close and disturbing the insects. i also have a canon 60mm macro but always struggled to get anything decent, so i am going to keep that as my potrait lens as it's great for that....bring on the bugs!!
