Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM mine is not even a full macro lens its called macro but it still makes it smaller and not 100 % macro anyhow yes this lens for me is the first one i can focus with up close and because the distance from lens to object ( jewellery ) is only 17 cm its perfect...

yes they did use a low nickel alloy at some point and these indeed can be quite anoying to work with maybe they plated them heavy agains nickel allergies

haha was actually quite good on the outside only with drilling the 0.5 mm drill broke so i figured it was a great one to cut open :) when i sell larger pearls they always ask how its grown etc now they can see the quality is good from the inside and the outside
