Digital camera Review: Beautiful Lens...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always like Sigma products. The macro on this lens is wonderful. I recommend it to anyone.Digital camera Review: Better than Canon:)
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I are wedding photographers. We are committed to L serious Canon lens. After hearing from several friends that the Sigma lens allowed you to get closer than the Canon lens, I had to order both. Needless to say...I returned the Canon macro lens.Digital camera Review: Durable macro lens - good for flowers etc.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to get up close flower shots, detailed so you see pollen grains etc. This is a great kens for the price. Works best in bright sunlight. Doesn't gather much light. Get a bigger lens to help with that.Digital camera Review: Good resolution but focussing slips
Summary: 3 Stars
I actually own two of these lenses, I'm pairing them with 5D MKII bodies and doing copy work on a copy stand. The edge to edge sharpness is good, build quality nice, I'm getting my best results at F11. Unfortunately using copy stands the focus slips after a short period which is frustrating. I haven't had the need to use the auto focus but just playing it does seem quite loud. Looking back my have sprung for some Zeiss lenses but overall the sigma is a great value just exactly right for my needs. 3.5 would be my rating if I could go in halvesDigital camera Review: Great Budge Macro Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great macro lens if you are on a budget. I was going back and forth between the Canon 50mm 2.5 and the 60mm 2.8. The Canon 50mm didn't have the greatest reviews and I didn't want to spend another $100 for the 60mm which is an EF-S lens. The Sigma is a very sharp lens along with some great colors and smooth silky bokeh. Perfect lens for weddings (rings) and flowers. It will work well for insects as well as long as you don't spook them by getting up-close. The auto-focus tends to take long to find the subject but no different than any other macro lens. It would be nice to be able to manually focus while in AF mode. The lens hood is worthless and annoying. You have to have the lens cap off to attach the hood.
