Has anyone tried this with the Sigma 150/2.8 Macro? How did it work?

The R1 kit comes with 5 mounting rings for the wireless remote Speedlights -- 52, 62, 67, 72, and 77 mm. Your lens uses a 72 mm filter, so it should work just fine. The remote speedlights tilt up to 60 degrees toward the optical axis so that they can be aimed at the focal point. The R1 is a nice piece of equipment that provides shadow free illumination.

I am using Sigma 150mm f2.8 AF APO EX DG OS HSM for Canon. I don't have any problem to use f2.8 at 1:1. Using a tripod to shoot at flat object first to see if you can get a focused image. If you do, then the lens is good. At f2.8 and 1:1, DOF is almost 0, means that you only have a "point", or a "flat" image in focus. Macro lens using f2.8 at 1:1 has its use, may be doesn't fit for one of your applications.

I have the metabones + Sigma 18-35. It broke my wallet but I think its worth it in versatility. Heres some sample footage I got with it. Great in low light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geaML88EBpU

Easy to do with a switch. Bear in mind macro is fixed at 43mm f 6. In use, works well.

I think it works without any trouble.The only problem I notice it was with my Shift Rokkor, because it don´t permit to arrive at the horizontal plane.With all my other Minolta lenses (20, 28,50, 50 macro, 100, 200 and 70-200 zoom) it woks just in manual mode.

I used the 1.4X teleconverter with the Sigma 300 f. 2.8, for pentax. So I do not have experience on its use with the 18-250 Sigma lens. Any way I'm not very happy of it, there is huge decay in quality and in focus. I would not suggest to any friend of mine to buy it.

I haven't tried mine a yet as I was lucky this past year using a set of magnifying lenses for my projects. But I can't see why that Fotodiox macro wouldn't work. the whitenorth Canada

Have had my Sigma 50 for a year (w/a Nikon mount) and to date it has not failed yet. There are times when I prefer manual, but the AF hasn't failed.

I'm using this with canon ef 85mm f/1.8 USM and canon ef 35mm f/2 works fine even with auto focus just a little bit slow on focusing so mostly I use manual focus also worked with sigma 18-250mm

This monopod will definitely support the Sigma 150-500. The monopod is extremely sturdy. I use the Really Right Stuff Monopod head to connect my lenses to this monopod. That makes it much easier to change out lenses as needed.

Yes I received mine a week ago and the lens crashes into the filter; not just in macro but any time the camera struggles to focus. Reading online apparently the lens can protrude a little when focusing causing the crash. I think I got a lemon so the adapter ring is going back.Update: nevermind I'm just a dumbass. I had accidentally assembled it in the wrong order. All is good and focus works fine. Since it is possible to put together backwards it makes me wonder how many of the focus reports are just user error.

I have not seen any problems yet, but I'm only using it on my macro lens and a low f-stop for a good depth of field. I haven't tried a wide open f-stop yet.

I used this on a 100mm macro with one of the larger adapters and experienced no difficulties of any type. From looking at the 77mm filter ring adapter that came with my set I believe you will see no light leakage, halos or vignetting with your lens. This thing works great. I don't use this light as a flash but as a continuous light source. Battery life is very good- I use Eneloop rechargeables but ordinary alkaline AAs work well also. Highly recommended but useful only for macro- flat lighting removes shadows which only looks good on certain macro shots- bad results will occur if used for portraits or other shots where shadows add depth or interest.

I just purchased this item and haven't used it yet, but the idea that i might be able to use it outside of gaming validated purchasing it. So to answer your question, IDK, but I was going to try setting up some macros for use in Photoshop or similar apps with stuff like shift+alt+G or whatever.

No, the 2.2x does not work well for macro. The wide-angle lens works for macro with the included adapter. The wide-angle less uses part of the lens.

Possibly I use the flash ring on various Macro subjects frogs butterfly's but u have to be close Am using 60 mm macro and 70- 180 macro it works well you will need stutter speed of 1 250 sec at least Hope it can work for u Regards Howard

I bought one of these and it works, but not as well as I had hoped. It is quality made, but remember if you turn your lens around you lose autofocus. I saw a review done on Youtube where a photographer compared everything from different length macro lens to extension tubes to a reversing ring and the the reversing ring performed the worse. I am thinking that you aren't allowed to post links on here. But if you go to Youtube do a search for "8 Best Macro Lenses (Unbiased review)" and see what Jim Harmer had to say.
