New glass - Sigma 105mm Macro.

[JamesM93]

I've been trying out the Sigma 105mm Macro lens and I am very impressed! I am not yet used to the lens so this is not at its full potential. This is rapidly becoming my favourite macro lens!

Hi Graham,

Nikon D5200 body, Sigma 105mm with a cheapy Yongnuo YN568EX on an SC-28 Remote chord. Soft box is just a cheap one from Amazon.

I will upgrade the flashgun and SB eventually.

Hi James,
Nothing wrong with the 568 ex, soft boxes can be changed for pennies though or even build/make your own.
