Default Just Arrived: Sigma 50mm 2.8/F Macro

a few quick and dirty pics of my panerai. i just took the pics on my coffee table, not exactly the best environment.

i'm still need a bunch of practice.

overall the lens is pretty nice. the af is a little slow and the motor is loud. still waiting on the tripod to show up,i couldnt get any real close macro shots to come out well.

Nice... I'm torn between this Sigma 50mm macro, and the Canon 60mm macro. What tripod did you get?

to get a good macro shot of watches, you'll need a circular polarizer. The last one shows that the lens is pretty damn sharp.
