[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 242625, member: 8928"] Thats what I thought, I don't have a problem getting tripods dirty either. Standing in the middle of a large fast flowing stream in my wellies to get that waterfall shot doesn't bother me at all. But laying in nettles or catching myself on brambles as I just can't get close enough with macro adaptors on my 18-55 lens isn't ideal. There are times where a proper macro lens would make it so much easier to get close without getting close The Sigma 105mm (used) went before I had the finances, same way as the Tamron 90mm. But for the price of a new Sigma 105mm I can get a good used Sigma 150mm I'm just wondering if the larger macro lens is overkill or futurepoofing and not have that nagging doubt of "I really should have got that other lens now" As for cost, I can buy a brand new Sigma OS OSM 105mm for the same cost of a used Sigma OS OSM 150mm In a real world situation, considering I'm using an FX lens on a DX camera what would be likely minimum distances for the Sigma 105mm and the Sigma 150mm I suppose there will be times when you need to get close, but can't due to the minimum working distance [/QUOTE]
