May I ask camera make and what tubes you use ? Great shots btw ... I'm just getting my hand into this world ...

DeVil

I use Nikon D90 and some Chinese AF tubes which are much cheaper then Kenko tubes

Love the Sigma 150.
Also good for sports and it is sharp at 2.8.
Good choice!

Sports too ?? I've heard it a bit slow to focus for that ?? That would be so nice tho as my grandkids are both going to be into soccer this coming summer .......... woohooooooo !!
