Having a great interest in macro I bought a new Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro DG and it arrived today.. :woot:

I have always had Canon lenses up to now but read so many good reviews about this Sigma lens I just had to have one.
(Watch out dod.. :D )

As the weather is total zilch at the moment I have only tried a couple of indoor shots tonight to test it. So far so good.. :)

Hope you don't mind Jamey, Look at the Bokeh on this shot of yours for those who havent seen it.. :shock:

Simply amazing.. :clap:

Those nails need cutting ;) Macro seems a good choice for those winter days.
 
It certainly is producing the goods there, seems like you have got a great copy of that lens. Unfortunatley you will have no excuses for poor quality macro shots in the future now ;)

You're a braver man than me, there is nothing like setting yourself high standards. :shock:
 
Had another indoor play tonight using a Kenko 36mm Extension ring between the body and lens.. :whistle2:

I will get more creative in time.. :smilenod:

I remember saying in another post that the real trick to good macro was getting the film plane parallel to the subject. See how there is softening of the image at the left-hand edge of the image?
It's a kick in the nuts when you're using 120 or 5x4 format film, I can tell you...
