Digital camera reviews of Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Amazing Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently got a Canon T2i and got the body only because I knew I wouldn't really use the standard 18-55mm Kit lens. I am a watch collector and enjoy taking pictures of my collection and I knew I wanted to get a macro lens. After some research I decided on this one and was actually able to get a Mint Condition one for under $200. I've been very happy with it and it takes amazing pictures.
I know sometimes it can be a gamble going with third party lenses but this Sigma is a true workhorse and definitely deserves consideration. It can also serve as a straight 50mm lens but the macro capability is fantastic and takes very sharp pictures. I'm trying to get more into Photography and hope to start doing some Model shoots, I've done Video for about 10 years now, and I know this will take great shots with that type of stuff as well.
I know I'll need to add some other lenses for versatility but I am SO glad I decided to get this as my Macro lens and would definitely recommend checking one out.
Summary of Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Super Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras.Sigma launched its first standard 50mm macro lens in 1990, and followed it up with an improved model in 1998. The advent of digital SLR cameras, however, required updated optical technology and a better imaging performance. Enter the latest incarnation of the 50mm macro lens, with an improved design that corrects for various aberrations. Designed exclusively for Canon SLR cameras, this macro lens is specially coated to get the best possible color balance while cutting down on ghosting caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. The lens also includes a floating focusing system, which allows you to precisely photograph objects throughout the entire focusing range. Most importantly, this standard macro lens makes it possible to enjoy better communication with your subject. When viewing through the camera's finder, you'll be able to move the subject and make precise adjustments. For example, the lens offers a close working distance of 7.4 inches, making it extremely convenient to take close-up pictures of a fossil or other inanimate objects.
Other details include a minimum aperture of f/45 that provides a greater depth of field than most lenses, a screw-in lens hood that makes it easy to attach circular polarizing filters, and a 46.8-degree angle of view. All Sigma lenses carry a one-year warranty.
