i just ordered this for my Canon. was debating either canon or nikon mount but on my d200 the focal range would have been 220+

also ordered my first canon flashgun ( finally i can try and leave my nikon at home - BUt its SO HARD ) got the 580ex mk ii

if these new goodies don't make me fall for canon i will go back to nikon.

so let me get this straight. you´re ordering a SIGMA lens in order to find out if you fall for canon?^^

its the body i want to use more basically

i bought a 5d but i seem only to use my nikon, so i want a new lens "for the canon" so that i use the canon


does that make sense?


i guess its sounds bonkers

The focus speed on any telephoto macro lens is going to disappoint you.

Gratz on the 580EXII though

its a prime! and i mainly shoot manual on macro

And you must tell me any decent books to help me with the flashgun?

nn books. all common sense. just read your manual.

yea i use a metz 48 atm on my nikon, but it has similar features

its not so much i want to learn how to use its more that i want to broaden my horizons with flash

what the fuck..

What I mean is that you can very easily look at a photo and come up with 7 different ways on how to light it similarly without knowing much about flash.

It is a great macro lens, maybe AF is a bit slower than canon's.. (not a problem for macro photo anyway) Just consider that SIGMA have announced the OS version, so maybe you will prefer to wait that one that can help you in normal use.
