All of these were taken in Michigan this last weekend. I had the chance to try out a Sigma 150 macro and I think I like it. The extra working distance was nice to have. The first two were with the Sigma, the second is with my Canon 100 Macro, and the last 2 are with the 300 f/4 IS. Thanks for looking and critique is always welcome.

    Good shots!

    Is it just me being a "Canon snob" or is the color and contrast with the Canon glass better than the Sigma?...

    I don't think this is a fair comparison. The shots with the Sigma were taken with flash and the shot with the canon were in bright natural light. The natural light will give higher contrast. As far as I have seen all the macro lenses are basically the same, Sigma, Canon , Tamron. They all give excellent results.
