Got my sigma 150mm2.8 in today (picked it up used)....
The finish on it is just beautiful! From the pictures I have seen it looks to be a bit...."crinkley"....but it's silky smooth wow.
Also ordered a 2X sigma convertor for it which arrived today as well. looks absolutely stellar mated together. I picked up stuff from the post office today on the way to work, so no field test pics yet, but they will come shortly along with my own personal review.
My main focus is actually not even macro, although I plan to delve into it this spring/summer. I actually picked this lens and 2X up for street shooting and urban candids. Some may say the focus speed will limit me, however I focus manually over half the time anyway....so I'm not really concerned with that.
Simply cannot wait to try this out on my next days off from work (wed, thurs, fri).....such a beautiful lens, can't say enough nice things about the look feel and finish of it.
Stay tuned for a full report this coming weekend :D thanks 4g63photo for the awesome lens!
