Macro lens, what do you suggest?

[Joeturner11]

I'am looking for a decent Macro lens preferable under £400 as I'am not looking to part with a huge amount of cash as I just broke the bank as it is! I have had a look online and found the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM which is £379.99 new from most places online and looks promising, would you suggest this lens or recommend another? Happy to buy new or used so feel free to recommend

Hi Joe

I've been very happy with my Sigma 150 f2.8 pre-os model - common darter - just as an example.

cheers, cw

Thanks for the Link Chris, Looks a really sharp lens at nearly half the price! Just seen one on MPB for £199.99 looks a bargain to get!
