With the Sigma 30mm f1.4@f1.6. Nice lens, gives a 3D-feel to the photo's at large apertures.
Terrific pop, but the edges and corners look quite soft.

Great lens btw, I'll have to reconsider selling mine.

Thanks. Don't sell it, I know quite sure it will be one of my favourite lenses for a lot of purposes and I don't think there are a lot of alternatives.

I'm using liveview to focus on my K-r, at f2 and below I get more focus hits with liveview than using the viewer. Liveview on the K-r is really great, magnifying the focusarea so you know that area is really in focus or not.

Great photos as usual. I see that you have the same macrolens as I have. I have had problems findig a macroflash to this lens since it uses a 72mm thread. How do you attach the AF160FC Ring flash to the Sigma 180mm?

I Used a 72>67 reducing ring, I haven't had the slightest issue with vignetting even on full frame.

All with the Sigma 150-500mm OS HSM I just got in today. Nice lens but heavy, still usable handheld though.

70-200mm F2.8 EX DG APO HSM II and 24-60mm F2.8 EX DG

These look terribly soft when uploaded as attachments. You'll just have to trust that these are sharper than they appear here.

I think I must be seriously doing something wrong here, because these images are showing up as broken to me :S

Anyway, here's the link to my photostream on Flickr.

All photos taken with the Sigma 70-300mm 'Macro' (despite the fact that it's not really a macro lens )
