Re: Lens comparison for macro work

Just for your consideration: Shooting with a 180mm macro is like trying to find your subject through a straw. Don't get me wrong, I shoot the Sigma 180mm f3.5, often with a 1.4X teleconverter, for most of my macros but if you get it, expect a long and frustrating learning curve. Starting out I would recommend the 105mm f2.8.
