| Re: Macro Photography
I have the 150 Sigma and am very happy with it. My Friend has the 90mm Tamron which is very good and also worth considering as it is also a good portrait lens.
As with other comments made here the Sigma gives a little more distance between you an the subject which is very useful when photographing insects as the closer you get to them the greater the risk they may move off. When photographing mushrooms or anything else that is static the extra distance is much less of an issue. Also the 150mm comes with a tripod collar allowing you to attach the lens directly to a tripod on monopod. I like this as when attached this way it the camera and lens feels well balanced.
The down side to the 150mm is its size and weight being bigger and heavier than the smaller lenses. Also I tried have used it with a Sigma 2x Convertor and was not at all happy with the results
