Canada $10 bill, detail / Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro Lens

View this (a small part of a Canadian ten dollar bill) HUGE (2222x3333 pixels).

The area you see here is 1.9 x 2.7 cm, less than 5% of the bill's total area. I never knew that the surface of paper money could be so "3D".

This 1:1 macro lens is a recent purchase, the Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX APO DG HSM Macro. I've just barely begun to explore macro photography, but so far, I'm amazed by the detail, sharpness and accuracy of this lens.

For the record... It takes over 80 of these bills to buy one of these lenses. Not cheap, but great value for a macro lens of this quality.
