Which reminds me: Anybody have the Sigma 105/2.8 EX macro lens? From what
I can find on the web, it seems like a good lens. Any comments? I know
the bokeh can be bad on this lens, which may render it rather useless for
portraits, but that's not what I intend to use it for.
(Ufortunately, the archives for this list seems to be hard to come by at
the moment (listquest.com is barely working). Sorry if I'm being
repetetive or too off-topic)
