I eventually went with the Sigma 150mm myself, and am generally happy with it. As mentioned before, with the Sigma 2x on it, it does NOT AF. I do debate from time to time if I should have got the 180mm for the longer working distance which from memory seems quite a bit more for the small difference in focal length.
Any reason the Sigma 180mm macro isn't also considered?
I do like the finish of the Sigma <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
