Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX APO Macro EX DG HSM - Bugma

Just received my 6D and I'm playing around with it and the bugma ! so far it's a huge improvment compared to my old 450D This has been shot at 12 800 ISO and there is less noise than with the 450D at 400 ISO... Even my bugma can't believe its eyes.
I think I'm going to love it.

Test picture to see how the 6D manages high ISO, straight from the camera. There certainly is noise but far less than I expected.

Just ordered one of these, should be a revelation compared to the Siggy 50mm macro I am using at the moment

Now just gotta wait for international postage :O

You probably received the lens by now, even with international postage
Do you like it?

Flawless lens.

Well the Canon 100mm L IS seems even better on the 6D, but I can't afford it now and the 150mm is still a great lens, so it won't be one of my next purchase. I'll consider buying a 50mm or 85mm though.

From what I've heard, Sigma 105mm OS Macro may be just as 'better', if you prefer that focal length. + it has less CA + a bit brighter T-stop and it's cheaper.
Cons - 100g heavier, weird 62mm filter diameter and no weather sealing.
