After contemplating my choices and shaking ye old money tree i finally made a decision and went an bought a shiny new Sigma 150mm.

Learning to use it was somewhat interesting - it is a lot different to what i was used to. However after looking at some of the results i couldn't stand to put the old lens back on purely due to colour and clarity. Needless to say i have since fallen in love with it and try to give it a run whenever possible

Here are a couple of images from my first outing with it up at the Botanical Gardens in Canberra

C & C is much appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Yep that's a good macro lens alright Jason. Only trouble with mine is the AF is busted and will only manually focus. Not too much of a problem with macro though.
The colours you are getting are very vibrant. I like the images, particularly #1. My only gripe ythough is that light blue thing in tyhe top left hand side. It's kind of distracting.

Cheers
John

Congrats on the purchase, I love the pics, nice vibrant colours and great DOF (although #1 could probably have been isolated more)

I have been itching to test out my Sigma 180mm properly but have not had it on me.
