It's the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC Macro.

You need a good 150mm macro lens to take pictures of bakery items. The teleconverter will only work was an APO lens.

If my she says to go get it, I'd be off to Broadway Camera in a second! :biggrin:

I think I might get the Sigma Teleconverter & see how it goes from there.

I'll probably use need it whether I buy a new lens or not.

A 150mm macro would be very nice... :biggrin:

I have the canon 100 if we get together some time you are welcome to try it.
I heard good things about the Sigma 90 it is supposed to be a good lens.
As far as the teleconverters I was told they are not worth the money it more or less is the same as cropping after. Either way you go Sigma Canon all the lenses mentioned here are good in my opinion. You just need $600+ dollars.:biggrin:

Speaking from a camera salesmans point of view, meaning i love cameras not money, i think the canon 100mm one is the best for the buck, tamron and sigma arnt bad but for a little extra money, the canon is the way to go.

Tarolisol 04-11-2008 06:22 AM
i hate the way the tamron and sigma focus.

I've used the 100mm Marco. It's a sweet lens. If I owned a DSLR it would be my #1 pick

Well, I finally got off my *** & hired a macro lens! :)

It's a Sigma 105mm.

I think when I buy one I'll buy a 150mm Macro.

They could use a little Photoshop work to punch them up but here's the pics.
