There will always be circumstances in Macor photography when you just don't need anything moving about and disturbing things. But I concede that it really isn't a big deal most of the time...

Oct 03, 2007 21:42 | #18 Speaking of flash, how much good is a ring light going to do for tank shots? With the amount of light in the tank and the glass barrier, I'd think it wouldn't do much for me?

I don't know the sigma you refer to but I assume it too focuses internally? If not, I wouldn't touch it for obvious reasons. The Sigma 150mm uses IF. It also has HSM (equivalent to Canon's USM technology). It's solidly built, and excellent optics. It also has a lens collar, which can be handy for those that use it tripod mounted, the Canon 100mm doesn't have that feature, it's a separate purchase. Sigma did have a bad reputation for quality many years ago, but these days their optics are just as good as the big marques imho, in some cases better.
