Additional Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Medium Telephoto Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras Information

The Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro delivers superb, distortion-free images throughout its broad focus range, from infinity telephoto to 1: 1 (life-size) macro, as close as 12.3" without accessories.Its non-rotating front lens group makes it easier to work with polarizing filters and has a focus limiter (eg. Full Range; - 15.8 in.; 14.6 in. - 12.3 in.).A "focus-free" mechanical design allows the lens to auto focus without any interference from the manual focus ring. This makes it easier to hold the lens without affecting the speed or normal operation of the autofocus function. Rugged mechanical construction also makes it durable enough for even the heaviest use required by professional photographers.The Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro features the new deluxe external EX finish. These features and other Sigma optical advances, including an uncommonly broad range of focus, make this an ideal lens for a wide variety of applications, from nature photography to portraits.A handy screw-in type metal sunshade makes it easier to rotate a polarizing filter.

 

What Customers Say About Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Medium Telephoto Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras:

Salvo por que el autofoco no funciona con la Nikon D60, es una maravilla, muy luminoso y liviano.La limitación del autofoco no es problema para macro, ya que usualmente se debe utilizar foco selectivo.Muy buen lente para retrato por su caracter de 105mm

Most likely will be the 50mm Macro. Also a one person said to go to Manual Focus you have to flip the switch on the camera, one the lens, and move the focusing ring. If you are debating between this lens and the Nikon one, I would go with this one. When shooting portrait style photos I have no problem with the autofocus, now with nature it doesn't always want to focus perfectly no, but like I said above it is a Macro lens and focuses very tight. Which locks the camera in full minimum focus ratio, meaning it will focus closer up, or you can limit it.I personally don't like the lens hood because it screws on, instead of twist and lock, which also means you can't put a filter on the lens directly while using the lens hood. Instead you have to put the filter on the hood itself. I am not saying this one in better than the Nikon because I haven't used the Nikon, but I don't imagine it is $350 better.Now there are reviews that complain about the auto-focusing on this lens. If you know how to use a DSLR then should be able to Manual Focus it.

Which is not true. Also it fits the Nikon but doesn't lock in the camera body as easy or smoothly, again it still fits and works fine.I personally love my sigma lens and will definitely buy my next lens through Sigma. I have had this lens for more than a year so I know all the Pros and Cons; I did not just buy it and I am not writing a spur of the moment review. It is a Macro lens meaning its field of focus is very small at 2.8 so it will tend to go back and forth at times, especially if there is a lot of things in the viewfinder. The switch on the lens is a focus limiting switch.

When it came I didn't even read any of the fine literature that comes with it, I just put it on and started shooting pepsi cans, keyboards, and creepy collections of Hummels my mom has. (the answer is no).get this nao. I'm sure I have no idea what I'm doing and yet I took some photos that look sweet. So I read around and a lot of people said this was a very solid lens to go with. Under any other circumstances I am confident it will not be noticable.

I know nothing about macro photography other than I want to learn how to do it and do it well. I liked what I saw, the price was reasonable, so I went with it. They immediately looked awesome, thats without modifying any settings. and honestly even if it is, is that really a reason to not by an otherwise quality lens. I won't lie.

More importantly, though, I spent hours looking at photos taken with this lens on the exact body that I use. I suppose the one thing I will say is that when you auto focus it is a bit noisy, but I was alone in my room with no noise at midnight.

I would highly recommend this lens to be added to your camera bag. And at life sized magnifications, you receive a realistic impression of your subjects. From life-size close-up to infinity, from 35mm to digital, this lens provides superb, sharp and distortion free images. It delivers clear crisp images at normal focusing ranges while providing high image quality.

on a Sony A300 anyway. I was very pleased at first with this lens,however after about a month I have found myself becoming Very frustrated with the slow,noisy, and sometime non-existent auto-focus ability and the extremely "touchy" manual focus mode means that you better not be in a hurry to get your shot because you're gonna be fidgeting for awhile trying to get the focus indicator to light up. I have 2 other Sigma lenes, a 28mm and a 70-300mm, and couldn't be happier with their performance,I suppose this is why I feel somewhat disappointed with this one.
