Little but packed with good things

Sigma 150mm f2.8 EX APO DG HSM lens
I sold my Nikon 105mm in favor of the Sigma 150mm f2.8 EX APO DG lens. I did this mainly because I have a Sigma 1.4 EX DG teleconverter. I wanted more working distance between me and the subject when doing macro photos. The Sigma Macro lens is amazing. Great photo quality, sharpness and contrast. The 1.4x converter is another great product. I have bought and used all of the teleconverters Nikon has to offer, including the new 2x II series but find the Sigma, matched with the Sigma EX series lenses, better in every way. Was my buy of the Sigma EX 150mm macro and the Sigma 1.4x converter a good choice? Better than I could have hoped for.

I love my Garmin
5 of 5 found this helpful First off I want to say I have used Garmin GPS units for many years. It started back with the GPS 12, through the Etrex series, on to the Oregon, and the latest was the GPSmap 64. Of all I have owned the 60csx is my favorite. I not saying the others are inferior, I'm saying I feel at home with the 60csx. As for accuracy, it's at the top of the list and very easy to find your way around the menus.
I worked for the Salt Lake County Surveyors department for over thirty years. Our job was to find old control points set out in the 1800's. In the valley, finding these point was easy, but as we moved up into the mountains surrounding Salt Lake City the work really slowed down. Thank god the GPS units came out. By using a Garmin 60csx we could find one point and then use the project waypoint menu, enter the azimuth and distance to locate the next point. Even in narrow canyons and pine forests we could get a signal and continue our search. The recovery work became much more productive and enjoyable.
I give all the Garmin GPS units a high mark but the 60csx first place.
