Sigma 400 macro zoom

Postby glamy on Sat Nov 12, 2005 4:28 pm

This morning I had a play with Mike's Sigma 400 macro zoom. It is very light and focusses fast. This two samples were taken at iso 800, hand held with the D70.

Chris,
He said it is pretty scarce and cost around US $400. I thought it was pretty good. Here is a shot with his Sigma 150 macro f 2.8.
