Default Re: Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

i would advise you to take a look at the vivtar series 1 100mm f3.5.

this lens was made by cosina with the following names vivitar, phoenix, cosina, opteka, and a few others. a great lettle lens for the price. i paid $140 for mind. it has a 1:1 macro adapter for it. while the build is a bit on the cheap side ad i really dont do macros. the lens is still sharp when used as a 100 f3.5 lens. it has gotten hard to fine a new copy but if you can find it go for it.
