Hi All. I gave the Sigma 105 f2.8 macro lens a whirl today. It's been in the camera bag for so long I almost forgot it was there. Should make for a good Portrait lens as well. These are jpegs straight from the camera.

Hi Jeff, I think the Sigma should proform well. I know the Nikon equivalent is worth way to much. Most likely as is the Canon.

Hey Mick, whats the minimum focal distance on the lens and how far is the front of the lens from the subject in that first photo?

Otis, I reckon the lens was about 20-30cm from the little drum. I'll get back to you on the minimum focal distance. Would like to get out in the scrub with it to see how it goes.
