Another Sigma Macro shot

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Nice! Appreciate the trouble you took to square it all up. Expect to see some great macros from you in the future.

Thanks Matt - as you will probably guess I am in awe of this non-Nikon glass.

But due to age and not the best of eyesight I have to praise the Canon Angle Finder C which has enabled me to focus properly.

Cheers

Chris,

you are getting your moneys worth out of the new viewfinder, the macro's look great. Does your viewfinder provide magnification?

Hi Glen

It has 2 magnification settings, 1.25x in which you can see all of the viewfinder plus the shooting details and 2.5x which is the one to use for really closeup focussing. It also rotates in 45° increments through 360° and it also has dioptre adjustment. The Nikon cap shot was taken with the camera just sitting on a table.

Cheers

Chris

How much do they cost Chris? I think I need me one of them. Getting tired of dropping to my stomach on the foorpath in order to shoot a macro. Bystanders keep calling an ambulance.

Hi Matt

As quote in another thread I purchased from Henrys in Toronto through eBay. Bought Monday delivered the following Monday - all up cost $258.83 Aus. It comes with 2 adaptors one of which fits the D70.
