:clap:Lovely shot. Colours are fab. How on Earth did you manage to get the basket to stay still in today's wind.:thinking:

The main difference is this lens is not a true 1:1 macro - its a 1:3.8, but saying that its great for closeup work , i also have one - the first 2 images on this (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=67615) thread were taken with it, the 3rd was the sigma 10-20mm macro.
