OK been playing around with some macro shots over the last couple of weeks. I don't have a true macro lens so I've been using my 70-200 with extension tubes to do the trick.
Interestingly I found out it's not as easy as it looks!!
But now I'm thinking of getting a proper macro lens to fit the 5D
OK now the question. I would love to opt for the Canon 180 macro but at nearly a grand I don't think I can justify it for the amount of work it will get.
So I'm looking at the Sigma 150 or the 180. Both seem to have good specs, and are about the same price £430-£480. The MTF of both lenses look good as well. Has anyone tried either of these. I've seen a review of the 180 and it came out well, but I can't find any creditable review of the 150.
Comments please
