I finally picked up the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 lens I'd been debating over before getting the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D, and so far it's been ... interesting to work with. As far as the lens itself goes, I have no complaints - look at the full size image and you'll see what I mean - but taking decent macro pictures requires a very different mindset to the one I've grown accustomed to with normal-sized subjects: forget about autofocusing, and even shooting at f/7.1 often isn't enough to get sufficient depth of field.
Go here for other examples of shots I've been able to manage with the lens thus far.
