I recommend this lens as an excellent macro, not as a tele. As any younger Sigma it needs service to be adjusted individually to one's camera. Therefore it has to be sent to Sigma together with the camera. They will fine-tune the lens within one week without charge.
Pros:
- Superb macro lens for a very
- very attractive price
- fast and accurate AF in macro range
- optical stabilization
Cons:
- Needs service befor used for the first time
- no aperture ring
- AF has some weekness when used as normal tele (not as macro

Very Sharp
Wanted to get a macro lens to complete my equipment setup, after looking around the Sigma looked like one of the best to try. The 105mm focal length means to don't have to get too close to anything which might be scared off e.g. insects and so far the lens has produced excellent results.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Very Loud Os

Sigma 105mm macro
This is a wonderful macro lens that rivals the Nikon and Canon big guns for sharpness. Great value and the built in optical stabilizer is perfect when using it as a portrait lens, which it also excels at.

Great lens at a great price
Relatively lightweight and super accurate. Tried it shooting flowers and small insects. Tack sharp. I own the 120-300 Sigma sports lens and this one is so much easier to handle, especially on the D4.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens Review
The 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens is Sigma's first macro lens to feature OS (Optical Stabilization) and replaces the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens . The Sigma 105 OS Macro lens has been in my kit for just over two years and has seen intermittently regular use.

Fantastic
"The image quality of this lens is superb, nicely sharp and great bokeh. Although it's IS is noisy and chromatic aberration is sometimes quite noticeable. But otherwise, it's great."

A damn good lens!
I picked up this lens because I shoot a ton of macro work all year round and have been doing so with the 50mm version for over 4 years the only problem i was running into was how close i had to get to my subjects (I.E bugs, insects, ect.

It's worth for the money spent
First, thanks to Adorama for the excellent and fast service to replace the defective lens.The replacement lens arrived as scheduled.The lens is heavy. It produces sharp images if it get at the correct focus as the autofocus was some kind like hunting.
Pros:
- Built quality
- Nice Bokeh
- Reasonable Price Saving
- Rugged
Cons:
- Heavy
- Poor in Low Light
- Slow Focus

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro
I've been shooting this lens for a few weeks and have pretty much left it on my second body (I was using a 50-200 or a 70-300 on it). Most people use it for macro but I really got it to extend the range of my Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 OS and it fills in beautifully for most things.
Pros:
- Great bokeh
- fast lens
- sharp
Cons:
- none
