Last Monday I had a pleasure and privilege to make a photo session of the Naturmuseum Augsburg's living collection. Here's one of their animals, an American River Crayfish.
It came out looking like a see food advertisement...Tabasco, anyone?
I had an opportunity to use my Sigma 24mm/1.8 Macro lens on a full frame body (not mine, unfortunately). I'm really impressed by the results, the lens is razor-sharp and is an equal match for Canon's 100mm/2.8 (it's probably much softer in the corners and at apertures below f/8, but still).
I have Sigma lenses instead of the Nikkor (I have a D70s) and I've found that the 28-70mm Macro especially has fantastic results. This picture really did come out wonderfully...crisp, colorful and full of life You've got amazing talent...I love to see the work you're able to do.
Hee, great shot and very well framed!
For me the focus should've been on the eyes though or more DOF. Nice to have full-frame though for a change hey. C'mon you need an upgrade.
You're totally right about the focus. I've overestimated the dof capability of this glass a bit. Plus the crustacean was running around - and the wide angle was totally confusing when it came to distance assesment. The working distance for the lens starts at 2.5 cm . A very funny experience, to shoot with this lens.
