Playing With my New Lens

Not so long ago I got some new toys for my Olympus E-500 camera. One is this Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. I have to say that I love it. I played around with taking some macro shots tonight to see what type of results I could get.

The following shot is of my grandfather's fishing reel:


Here is a 1 to 1 crop of that photo so that you can see the detail in the image:


I am rather impressed so far. After I get some more play time with the lens, I will try to do a better write up on it.
