    Sony A77 + Sigma 150mm Macro.

    This is my first true macro lens. I have alot to learn still. Tripod mounting is almost a must as I haven't mastered the OS on the new lens... I should read the manual.

    Nice image !

    There's not much to learn about the OS ! Turn it ON, turn OFF Steady Shoot and voilą !

    There is more than that.... the OS switch has three positions: off - 1 - 2 . Also just getting faster at setup and or hunting to find what I am looking for with it close up. The AF is great but my Aim kinda sucks.

    Hope to see more macro shots! It will be interesting to see your developing skills with the lens and camera.

    I recently discovered the DRO/HDR Fn and it is easily my favorite!! Lol, very nice picture!

    I just wish the screen on my laptop was as clear as the screen of the A77

    Actually a tripod is not always necessary. Handhold and shoot a burst of 3 or 4 shots and I am sure that one or more will be in focus.

    One of the positions stabilizes in X and Y and the other only stabilizes in Y for panning shots. There is no Z stabilization which makes OS, in my opinion, not all that useful for Macro.

    Wouldn't stepping down the aperture make depth stabilization superfluous ?

    Using a tripod would make the shot easier if its not something moving like a bug.

    Have you ever shot 1:1 Macro? Taking the slightest breath will move your subject in and out of focus at any aperture.
