Re: Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
@badpickev: I was actually considering that 100mm lens, but I couldn't find it new anywhere. The longer working distance and more manageable background would be a plus, but I'm really hoping for 1:1 macro without an adapter. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
@LordV: I've actually returned my 50mm f/1.8 in order to have enough funds for the 50mm macro (I had it for less than 2 weeks). If I add the cost of the 50mm f/1.8 ($120 CDN) with the cost of the Kenko tubes ($175 CDN), the price is almost the same as getting a dedicated 50mm macro lens that doesn't lose light like with tubes and has better optical and build quality. I should update my signature to reflect that.
