My first few photos getting a feel of the Sigma 150 F/2.8 Macro. Lovely solid feel, tripod collar rather clunky but should loosen up. Seems really sharp and quick focussing but can hunt a bit with images with low contrasts. Colour is rich and the lens produces images with good contrast. Very pleased with its performance but just like a racing car need to practise to get the best out of it. Critique and comments welcome as always

#1 Early morning testing the Sigmas use as a general lens



#2 Abstract with backlighting



#3 Another abstract with slight variation and fill flash SB600 of background



#4 Pink flowered vine in backyard with off camera SB600 fill flash



#5 Variation with pink buds above with off camera SB600 fill flash



I hopefully will work my way down to the real macro stuff i bought it for

cheers

Very nice shots very sharp with great colour/contrast the more you use this lens the more you will like it

Congratulations on your purchase Marco - all lovely shots but in particular the last two

Great stuff Marco, I actually took some shots of similar leaves yesterday unfortunately it was only the kit lens so none of the lovely close up detail, but they look great backlit!

excellent, number 1 and 2, the simplicity it's just beautiful
i may have to get myself one

Very nice Marco. I am sure you will enjoy your 150 as much as I am enjoying the 180. Looks nice and sharp.

Thank you all for the kind comments. After a lot of deliberation between it and the 105 Micro nikkor. Yes I am pleased with my purchase and I thoroughly recommend it. To be honest I really did lust for the 200 Micro Nikkor but I had to be realistic with the $ Anyway when I visit south-east q'ld again i'm sure Kevin will let me have a play with his
cheers
