So I found a used Sigma 17-70 lens for a great price and decided to go for it. I figure it's the perfect mid range lens that I can use when the 50mm isn't working for me. It has a really low minimum focusing distance so it can actually be used as a macro lens. Anyways here are a couple photos while I was trying it out. Just some easter flowers, and of course our good (but loud) friend Petrie.
