| Re: Macro lenses
I think I would go for the 180mm Sigma which can be bought online for £434 inc. It has a great rep. and the results I've seen are fantastic.
Bear in mind that the 1:1 working distance is around 28cm from the front of the lens to the subject (the 46cm quoted is subject to focal plane) which is still pretty close for some shy subjects.
The results are only as good as the post work though. If you shoot jpg, load them into PS, scale and save at web size then you'll be disappointed at the lack of detail and sharpness. |
