[QUOTE="andythilo, post: 561696, member: 42189"] Sorry haven't posted any replies. I decided on the Sigma, and it's a great lens. I also get a set of Kenko tubes and usually leave the 35mm attached. This forces me into manual focus and gets me closer to the action. I've also got a Meike ring flash which is great now that I've set the camera up correctly. Didn't realise you had to change the shutter speed to x250! However, I've now got it set up on a custom setting, U1 so I can get to my 'macro mode' quickly. Lens is VERY well made, and I have a Hoya Pro1 protection filter on it permanently. Some photos I've taken below. I'm trying to get out everyday to shoot with it, although last night I managed to blow up the flash :D. Seems having the modelling light on at the same time as taking a photo causes problems LOL, i.e a big bang. Both modelling lights blew as well as the right macro light. Ah well, bought from Amazon UK so sending this one back and a new one arriving today.
