    Default New/Used Sigma Lens

    It is actually a macro with a little nicer minimum working distance then my Nikon Micro 105mm prime.

    Flower is about an inch across.

    This spider is like 1/3 of an inch long.

    Works as a medium telephoto too.

    Nice Pat! New lenses to the arsenal are always fun.

    I know the point is camouflage, but I wish that spider was a contrasting color LOL like a bright green or something. Not something that can be changed, just one of those things I look at and can't help but to feel a bit colorblind.

    Very impressive range. I never knew that a macro lens could also function as a telephoto. How far away from the turtle were you?

    Pat nice photos ...I never get tired of playing with a " new to me lens" Probably 99% of mine were bought used.

    It's the Sigma 150mm 1:2.8 APO Macro DG HSM Al. I like it as it has a better working distance from small bugs etc.

    Understand Matt, I do have a macro image where the spider is a contrasting color from awhile back.
