Hated when the lens hood doesn't come off!

Once you put the lens head on it doesn't come off. So you are stuck with your lens hood for good. This lens produces nice macro photos. But because it's 50mm lens, you have to really get closer to the subject.

Lens to be used for the purpose for which it was designed

I bought the lens for yourself. The lens is in exсellent condition. Auto focus works flawlessly. Pictures in the "macro" get great. I tried to do the usual shooting, the result was normal, but such surveys would recommend using a long-focus lenses and do not forget that lens is "macro".

A great macro and portrait lens Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG

Great lens! I use this on my Pentax K-50. It's not a 50mm as the review headline says though while writing this, it's a 70mm. It takes wonderful macro images and I use it quite frequently for that. My images can be seen here: alittleplaceontheweb.com if you would like to see examples.

This Sigma Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG is a standard macro lens that is ideal for shooting the "small world' around us that exists virtually unseen. A macro lens is one which will focus on a subject close enough to render it "life-size" on the image plane in your camera.
