Default New Macro Lens (50mm Sigma)
I needed something a bit sharper, and I found an awesome deal on craigslist so I couldn't help myself.

I am still getting used to selective focus of these things, and getting the right fstop, but a few of these are not to bad.

I didn't even know the bug was there until post processing:

I know can you guys believe I got this lens for $150? It was so new the lens hood was still sealed. Sometimes you get lucky...
