Yes macro "Sigma" 105mm f2.8, Sony Alpha A100
Would you recommend that lens? I have an A200.

Yes it is an awesome lens, really fast and great quality. I bought it from BHphoto in New York. Macro photography is a whole new world. I prefer the 105mm to the smaller one.

Awesome shots.
You've got them marked as "Only friends and family can see this photo" so not everyone is going to be able to appreciate them

Nice. Which lens? Is that a f2.8?
No - it was with my walkabout lens - 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG Macro

Cool. Was this all the way at 300mm or only 100mm?
300mm and 270mm respectively.

Cool. Most macros I've seen are shot with 100mm f2.8 lenses and they look similar, so forgive my lack of judgement
No worries - this was done with a 50mm and a macro adaptorCool. Most macros I've seen are shot with 100mm f2.8 lenses and they look similar, so forgive my lack of judgement
and these were done with an inverted 50mm

Aah, yeah I remember those. What does the inverter do as opposed to the macro adaptor?
