The Sigma lenses are becoming my favorite. That is a hard statement consider I am team Nikon everything. I had a Nikon macro and it worked okay, but the motor broke and I returned it. This gem was on sale ($400 off!) so I gave it a go. I am so glad I did! The clarity and Bokeh is amazing.

It felt so cheap in comparison to my Nikkor lenses. I was trying to avoid spending an extra money to get the Nikon 105 micro and this lens is just not worth it.

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.

Love the lens

The focal length is long enough to provide some distance between you and the subject without the field of view and higher price of a 200mm optic. The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 has long been regarded as one of the best macro lenses for its price.

The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 is available in Canon, Nikon, Sony and Sigma mounts, fitting full-frame and APS-C D-SLRs. Sixteen glass elements in 11 groups make up the optics and a Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting.

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.

Very Loud Os

This is a serious bit of kit it's just stunning the only bad point is that it's so heavy this is a lens for Charles atlas !!!. Now I've got the bad point out of the way I took the lens and my Nikon d5600 out in the midday sticking it into hedges to get bug shots I will admit I had to bump the iso up...

The Sigma 105mm macro has excellent performance in all light conditions. Although weighty, it is solidly built and is excellently balanced when used with my 600D. Images are crisp and clear. The Optical Stabilisation feature is wonderful and aids admirably in fine macro work.

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.
