My 1st Sigma Lens.
Having a great interest in macro I bought a new Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro DG and it arrived today..
 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..  )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..

Sigma rule. Not to mention the free lens cases and hoods you get.
Canon can stuff their £27 for a bit of black plastic. |

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
