Bought this lens to use with my Sony Nex-5 and Ea1 adapter. Right out of the box this lens takes amazing pictures, I found myself chasing the dog...

Price / Quality

"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."

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.

Super sharp!! Great lens all around. It does have a clunking sound when the lens is off the camera body but this is normal and does not mean the OS is broken.

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.

The Sigma AF 105mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM OS macro is an impressive lens. The resolution is generally very high although the border quality could be a little better at large aperture settings. Typical for macro lenses distortions are a non-issue. Vignetting is only a real problem at f/2.8.

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.

Great bokeh; fast lens; sharp

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.

The Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro ($1,400 list) is a classic macro lens. It can be mounted to full-frame and APS-C cameras alike, although on the latter the field of view will be cropped by a 1.5x factor. It's available for Sigma, Canon, and Nikon cameras .
