Digital camera reviews of Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO HSM IF Macro Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A pleased user
Summary: 5 Stars
I struggled with the decision to purchase a quality macro lens and tended to favour Nikon glass but not Nikon price. I felt forced to spend a considerable amount of time on the net researching a number of alternate choices when I happened upon the Sigma 150mm. The only critique I could find was that the black paint coating around the lens itself tended to wear off after extensive use. Price between the Sigma and Nikon lenses further narrowed my decision making to the point I made the plunge through Amazon.
I have had it for one month and can state that I have absolutely no regrets. During a number of photoshoots with fellow members of a local camera club I know of two additional purchasers based on the performance of my Sigma. The quality of image is outstanding and I would guess equals anything that comparable Nikon glass might produce. In fairness, field tests have not been conducted to verify that statement. However, the emphasis is placed on user satisfaction giving the product top marks. In fact, I have now acquired a Sigma 2X telextender to compliment the 150mm and am now enjoying it even further. Anyone contemplating a similar purchase of either product will not be disappointed.
