Sigma's APO MACRO 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM; It's A Macro Lens-Wait-It's A Portrait Lens!

While searching for a new portrait lens I saw Sigma's APO MACRO 150mm f/2.8 on their website. But wait, you say, this is a macro lens, not a portrait lens! Here's my thinking: Any portrait photographer out there worth his light meter will gladly extol the virtues of a long, fast lens for...

sharpness, fast, os and stability

f2.8 - f4 values; vignetting in the corners

very sharp; clear; no chromatic aberration; fast autofocus; optical stabiliser; stability

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO Macro review by sonylover1

Needs microadjustment but when you are finished with that cumbersome work you are really rewarded. With that manual fovus and silent HSM you can film very nice macros. You need steady hands or tripod for best results. Kills my Canon 100 mm 2.8 - so I sold it. Best bang for the buck!

Sharp; Supergood feel when MF

No OS
