Heya Duncan, I was thinking about you earlier today, wondering why I hadn't seen any of your posts of late!?!?
And here you are!

And with yet more new lenses. Well: WOW!
You must have been a GOOD boy to get all these!

Is it your sweater then in the last photo shown?
Nice macro leaf in 2! Cool colour :greenpbl:

We could compare macro leaves. I took a few in summer but never showed them.

And why NOT?

Awesome shots, the leaf is my favorite. I think sweater is a good guess, but I have no clue.

Nice lenses too!

Love the pics, and congrats on the sweet new lenses.

That third one is a puzzler: a closeup of the growth on the cheese in my fridge? A 'shreddie'/shredded wheat morsel? Microfibres, like on a cleaning cloth?

is number 3 some sort of plant?

Looks like a nice lens, what's it look like stopped down?

You'll love the Sigma as well. I have an older version and it works very well. So well in fact that I now use it and a Canon 500D closeup filter to shoot macros with because I get about 15" of working distance & it's one less lens to carry. Can't hand-hold a macro anyway so the big lens & tripod works for me.
