Lunchtime fun today with the Sigma 105 and a little guy I ran into when I only thought I'd get the fly.
Nice -- and that is an impressive catch by that tiny jumper!

Beautiful Bellflower! Great job getting the ends of all the stigmas in sharp focus.

Sounds a wee bit front-heavy. Excellent work.

That's why the really great macro shooters have big backsides ;~)

I'm going to dust off m K10 as I love the way the it renders things. Of course that lens doesn't hurt either.

I wonder how many "pounds of flesh" i would give for the FA* 200mm f/4 Macro.....a kidney or a liver just wouldn't be enough!

I've been shooting with the K-5iis and the Sigma 180mm f3.5 Macro for a few days, I'm really liking this combo so far.

First pic, shot with my old gear, Pentax K20D with Yashinon 60mm f2.8 1:1 Macro
The other three: K-5iis + Sigma 180mm f3.5 Macro (shot handheld)
