Sigma 70mm Macro Pics

[djc1026]

Just got this lens for a camera we have at work. I have the camera this week and thought I take a few shots of my tank to take the lens out for a spin so to speak. These were taken with a Canon XTi on a tripod and timer. I didn't shut the pumps off though.

Nice.

What kind of working distance did you have?

The end of the lens was about an inch from the glass and the corals were about 5 inches into the tank. I still need to mess with it some more, for instance, I don't believe any of these were taken at 1:1 magnification. I have to get used to moving the camera, and 1:1 I think would have required more working distance.
