My new Sigma 150mm F2.8 APO Macro DG arrived today from Hong Kong.
I’m still learning to use it (heck, I am still learning to use the camera) .. but already see amazing results, the lenses is a little on the heavy site (especially when compared to the featherweight 18-200) but not too much to get uncomfortable, I find the pictures it takes are brighter and sharper than the 18-200 also, but then again, it’s a Prime lens .. 
I definitely need to get a monopod.
this is a picture of a 1/2″ icon on my 24″ Dell .. you can clearly see each of the 2,304,000 pixels 
a half inch globe
That’s amazingly clear! For a minute I thought it was a signboard with LED’s or something..
Yes, I just revisited this post and inded was quite amazed by the quality of that macro picture
