I put one of my free lenses through the paces this weekend.
The Sigma 50/2.8 Macro in MD mount. It's the lens picture directly next to the minolta x370. The size can be a bit hard to judge, but the MD -> Nex adapter is a pretty large one. The lens is small, does 1:1, extremely cheap and has good contrast, great color. The bad news is that it's a little unsharp at 2.8(wide open) however, it's not certainly not bad or (dreamy).

Ulrik, as usual your snowy landscapes are stunning. You have posted several over the course of this thread that I would love to have printed and hanging on my wall.
Yes, but... it is too green. Unless everything has a green cast in that room. And I would not bring down the outside lights so far, but let them stay a bit brighter. It looks like it is heavily overcast.
Some from OM50/1.2 w/ 550D closeup lens this morning, I like this combo a lot! These are all ground level shots, and the tilting screen is so helpful. Why isn't there one on 5D3??
Great shots on the last two pages, people.^^ I like the snowy landscapes by Ulrik and also snowboarder's and Michelle's last shots in the series, really nice rendering.
I just got the 50/1.8 OSS in the mail a few minutes ago, and I snapped off a fast pic of my new little one. This quick snapshot is nothing extraordinary, but I like the lens, so far. If I manage a little more sleep, maybe I can test it more thoroughly. This little guy is still eating every 2 hours, so no sleep for me.

Nice snap, Doug. Where did you manage to score one? I've been waitlisted on Amazon for quite a while for that lens...
I paid a little too much for one from Digital Rev. However, the Sigma 30 from them was $10 under retail, so I only paid $20 more than I should have for the pair.
