I'm putting this one up because it'll probably be the last shot I take with my sigma 50mm macro lense as I'm selling it, I'll probably be tempted to buy another at some point but the proceeds will go towards it's bigger (heavier) brother. Anyway this was just a quick shot of an echinacea plant (I think) Taken at f2.8 50mm, ISO800 1/30, I was surprised there was no camera shake, especially as I was in an odd shooting position. I processed it with niksoftwares silver efex pro. If anyone is thinking about getting this lense my advice would be to go for it, you won't be disappointed, although the longer variants (105/150/180mm) are probably better for insects.Sunday, 24 August 2008

I just bought a Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro in the Nikon mount and have been looking around to see what other photographers are doing with it. So far I'm very impressed. It certainly looks like you got some good results. What did you replace it with? the 150mm?
I've put some of my images on my site at Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro.
Would love to hear what you think.
