I have no other reference to gauge mine on other than my old 35L. I like them. Much difference between the 1.8 version?
50mm f1.8g arrived today, Sigma 85mm f1.4 EX DG coming tomorrow, just need a wider prime now and I'm all set,......... until the next bout of GAS
Body about 8-10mm, I would guess the head was less than 1mmI don't mind the leaf. Although it is a bit of a distraction it does cover part of the leg.
How big was the spider?
I'm not entirely, but it's good enough for what I want to shoot at the mo. If I find that I do start using it more then I will look at the Sigma Art in the future.I'm confused - I thought you were not happy with the 50?!
Another Macro of a teeny spider in my garden. The body was no more than 10mm, I guess the head was less than 1mm No idea what type of spider it is?

Any chance you could show me the full image you took?Body about 8-10mm, I would guess the head was less than 1mm

Will post it up laterAny chance you could show me the full image you took?
Feel free to pm me a link directly. I'm intrigued to see what the original one was and how it's turn into the final one.
Temptations to by the Sigma 50 Art are high at the moment.
I DO NOT NEED IT.

Edit: Can anyone see the re-edit, I just get a red cross?
Thanks
Have you not bought a screen calibrator yet? TBH the only one that looks a bit dull is the 4th imo. Nice pics, I would crop the window one though so it's symmetrical to please my OCDargh... think some of them might look a bit too dark... must stop working at 100% screen brightness!
@snerkler - great stuff as always.
Just don't see how you get so close to these things without the flying/crawling off
More from today

That proper tickled meHe wears a fly costume.
Thanks very muchDamn, they're good. Especially number 1
ohhhhh@markgodley just thinking, your 28-105mm isn't a true macro as it's only 1:2 rather than 1:1 which will be why you're struggling to get as close
Sorry to break that to you if you didn't know alreadyohhhhh
I is impressed, very good shots [emoji106]More from today

I didn't. I assumed macros were 1:1 as a minimum, then 2:1 and greater.Sorry to break that to you if you didn't know already
Thanks very much.I is impressed, very good shots [emoji106]
A lot of zoom lenses with a 'macro' function are not 1:1, generally they're 1:2 or less sometimes. I only know of one macro that has greater than 1:1 (but I'm sure there'll be more) and that's the Canon that has a whopping 5:1 magnificationI didn't. I assumed macros were 1:1 as a minimum, then 2:1 and greater.
Quick test shots with my Sigma 85mm, pretty impressed with the sharpness at f1.4

Have you not heard of the Venus or Loawa lens, 2:1 60mm but full manual but very sharp as it goes.Thanks very much.

I sometimes use tubes but not electronic ones but that dont bother me, non the less they are useful and would help you somewhat, have you thought about a Raynox 150 or 250 ? the results are still good although they are a little more difficult to use.Anyone used the kenko extension tubes set?
Used seem to be about £40 and auto focus, wondering if this would be a solution for my 28-105mm lens
GAS....

Bit of a lottery as to what prices are going to do tbh. Chances are there'll be some offers on the D750 when the replacement comes out, but as they haven't even announced the D810 replacement yet so I don't expect that to be any time soon, although it is Nikon so you never know I have had an email this week regarding £150 trade in bonus but not sure if this is across the board or shop specific. I think the email was from Harrison's IIRC.Hello, still pondering a D750 upgrade from my current D90.....
Is now as good a time as any to buy new? Or should I hold on for a d810 announcement?
I'm getting this primarily to help with Astrophotgraphy, specifically milky way shots, what budget wide angle fx options are there? Looking at the samyang 24mm 1.4 but even that is quite pricey.
Thanks in advance
You could get a grey model, price is fair tbh. I have a Irix 15mm f2.4. Seems OK and price was good, think you can get one for less than £400 now. Worth a look up.Hello, still pondering a D750 upgrade from my current D90.....
