Sigma 50mm EX DG Marco · 07:43 PM

Here are a few macro shots with my newest craigslist lens (a few more on my flickr page, link at bottom). The first one is 1:1 and straight from the camera, only converted from raw, no post processing. The rest I tweaked a little in GIMP. Thanks for looking

Aw that lens sucks. I mean look at these, sharp, great colours , nice DOF. Return it for a refund

Looks like you have a winner....

I agree, awful. Too much detail

Wow, terribly detailed.
Any more negative adjectives we can use to describe this lens?

3rd one is the best for me - love the color & contrast

Yeah, this lens is horrible

Actually I am quite pleased with it. I was surprised at how smooth the out of focus background was on the pencil shots.

Thanks for the kind replies
