New lens arrival ...

I just had my new Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG Macro lens delivered. Been wanting a 50mm "macro" for some time. This lens seems to be a very good match for my Pentax K-50 body. Good build quality and a nice weight balance, though I do lose the weather sealing when its mounted. Please try the downloads.
PS: Happy Labor Day! :D

I went out early this morning to capture a few more. Just having a little fun using my feet to zoom.

Looks like you've got a great lens Rick, I'll look forward to seeing some bug shots from you.

Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the nice comment. I'm also hoping to get some nice "bug" shots. :D

Don't limit yourself to f/2.8. Sometimes by raising the ISO just a bit, and going up to f/5.6, you get a bit more depth of field that will encompass a whole flower.
I especially like your basil leaves.

Thank you very much, Linda. I appreciate the smiley face!
I think this lens will be my favorite, for now at least. ;)

Hello, Bob. Thank you for the nice comment. I agree with you. I read that this lens is actually a little sharper at f4 thru f8. I'm having fun playing around with it though.
