Added a Sigma 105mm Macro to the collection ;)

Well after Hoffy ranted about how good they are for portraits, recent threads on Macro , plus Muscle750's offer a second hand model ...... I handed the cash over last night

I now have a funny lens with this long tube that extends on the front

Neverplayed with macro before, so off to find some bugs over w/e
