A little slow at focusing, but otherwise, its pretty good all round, so yes, I'd recommend it for the money.

loving thouse pics paul, youve made up my mind as I love taking flower shots

[BertRoot]

Turned out nice. What did you manage to get the lens for?

[_Belial]

Crackin' shots Paul, think i'm finally going to have to stump up the cash and get myself a macro lens, anyone else used any other macro lenses before i get the same sigma one?

I yearn for a macro but don't think it would fly by the wife too well when she doesn't get a couple of weeks to buy food, gas, electric etc. Might turn to robbing the Jessops at Deepdale.

That first flower is a geranium, commonly called meadow cranes bill.

Don't bother - they've just sold the last one to a well-dodgy hobbit....

I thought is was a geranium. There were white ones too...

Thanks everyone else. Macro is so intersting though - Carl - take the plunge - you van drivers are rich - or you can get away with a ram-raid if it's a white van... (hehehehe, joke...)


Bilbo.

[_Belial]

lol, no idea where you get the impression I was a van driver from ?

But am definitley tempted now to get a proper macro Lens, just wonder how much use i'll get from it for next 6 months working away in London.

[Bilbo_baggin]

Sorry Carl - I though I once read in a thread "Was out in the van" somewhere in the mountains...


My mistake. It must have been the BMW Series 5...

[muttleymacclad]

Ahh, he's an international man of mystery!
