Sigma Life-Size Attachment

I recently purchased a Sigma 90mm f2.8 in a nikon AF-d mount. I really like the lens. It seems to focus accurately and from what I can tell (without more effort than I am likely to make) is pretty darn sharp. It did not come with a "Sigma Life-Size Attachment". From what I can tell it is a matched close up lens. The reviews I have seen recommend its use as well. Anybody have a clue where I might purchase one?

Thanks in advance.

(and if you are a troll who want to tell me how stupid I am please don't bother to respond)

Must only go to 1/2 life size natively then. I have one of Sigma's 105mm F2.8 macros and it goes to life size on its own.

I would try a Raynox 150 or 250. The 250 has greater magnification and will clip on to a range of “filter sizes”. They are easy to attach and remove. I have the Raynox 250 and I’ve used it on a 50mm and on my Macro lens to increase magnification.

With a Nikon PN-11 extension tube you’ll be able to focus closer than 1:1, and have a very useful rotating tripod mount to boot.
