Want Popeye Arms?

If you do, get a Sigma 150mm macro. In just a few days of toting that mofo around your forearms will look just like Popeye’s, probably minus the anchors. Mercy!

Crumby purchased this lens when nobody was monitoring him. Crumby sneaked off and bought this lens used. Although, upon careful inspection the lens appears barely used. But that’s no thanks to Crumby. Crumby wanted it and he went and got it, used. Crazy! Crazy behavior! Crumby admits that he forgot to take along the E330 hook up cord so he could only check for focus of this lens on the wretched E330 LCD. How worthless is that? Worthless!

Then when Crumby got it back to the CB, he developed a huge case of buyer’s remorse. The lens refused to auto focus. Yet after we cleaned the contacts and put in a charged battery, it made a stab at auto focusing, most of the time. Obviously, the jury is out on the used Sigma 150mm macro. The Oly mount ones seem to cause more grief than any of the others that go on any of the other camera brands. That is, as presented in the so called camera literature of the internet.

Interestingly, in the literature that comes with the camera, instructions are provided for auto focus on all the major camera brands except Olympus. Even Pentax gets some personal instructions. Jeez Louise! That’s probably why this lens is goofy on the Oly mount. That and the fact that the E330 is not the camera to help out much with auto focus. But clean contacts and a fresh battery help.

Is this lens fixing to be useful for photos of the smaller, less spooky insects? Maybe, maybe not. Here’s the only marginally useful one so far. Sarcophaga, which we already have plenty of decent pictures for. Dern mooseface!
