Originally posted by stevebrot BTW, be sure of whether you foresee a need to have an aperture ring.
Originally posted by troika I do still shoot film, but I don't feel the need to shoot macro on film. Too many missed shots for one thing.
I was not referring specifically to film photography, but instead was thinking about use with extension rings or bellows for extreme macro. That being said, it is sort of nice to be able to use one's macro lens for film work on non-A contact bodies if the need arises. FWIW, I have not had a problem with missed close-up or macro shots on film, but have never really thought about it either.
If you really like the Sigma and the price is right, it is hard to go wrong with that lens. You will always be able to sell at a decent price if it does not work out for you.
