Macro lens advice

[icnoble]

I am looking for a macro lens and have about £400 to play with. I have seen one of these for £450.

Worth it or not?

It will be used on a D800.

Looked at that lens long and hard, before deciding to go for the 150mm non-OS instead.

The 180mm is a fantastic piece of glass too, but you do know, it's huge!?

Here's a comparison: http://orionmystery.blogspot.dk/2011/01/sigma-150-vs-sigma-180.html

Best price I found for the 180mm was £530, so the £450 sounds very reasonable.


Btw. this is probably not the right forum?

Thanks for the advice and the link. The thread has been moved into the equipment forum.
