| Re: which lens ??
Solid advice from Lancashire Lad. I'm also a Sigma 180mm user and love the lens but it can be a bit on the hefty side.
My wife uses the Sigma 105mm, which is nice and managable from a weight perspective. She gets some excellent results with it.
I'd say that if you're going to concentrate on fungi, the extra focal length of the 150mm and 180mm may not be so important. They really come into their own when you try to shoot insects that are going to flit if you get too close. Taking this to the extreme you can use the Sigma 1.4x and 2x converters with the 150 and 180mm lenses. The Sigma 105mm and below won't accept the Sigma converters, but it's a lot cheaper.
Hope this helps a little. |
