About a month ago I had a nasty mishap with my Sigma 150mm macro lens and some superglue fumes! The end result was this - serious damage to the coating on the front element:
This put me in such a bad mood I haven't taken any photos since! However yesterday i finally stopped sulking and took the lens out to see if it as still useable. The pics below were taken using it in its damaged state. I was going to try some sort of standardised testing, but in the end decided to just try it in the field.
Basically, I'm trying to decide whether to send it to Sigma for a (probably expensive!) repair. It still seems to be producing ok images, but I can't help but feel they're a little short on what they could be.
All images have been resized and had a moderate amount of USM:
