[QUOTE="hark, post: 178650, member: 13196"] I hope it meets your satisfaction, Rocky. That lens will allow you to decide whether or not macro photography is something you really want to pursue or if it's just something you will do once in a while. Many of Sigma's older lenses are still good bargains in today's world. Back when I was using 35mm, I purchased a Sigma 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 APO macro zoom (it's an AF-D lens so no vibration reduction). The lens still works quite well tripod mounted although the macro is not a true 1:1 ratio. Insects definitely are NOT my thing ;) so what I have works well for the few times I do macro work. What types of subjects are you hoping to capture? Insects? [SIZE=1]eww[/SIZE] :dread: Flowers? Water drops? Something else? What intrigues you, Rocky? Have fun, and good luck. Hope it works out for you! :) [/QUOTE]
