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

"Sigma AF 150mm APO f/2.8 HSM"
This listing on ciao doesn't have a model number for focal length so I am going to review the Sigma APO 150mm f/2.8 Macro lens Before I purchase products I do extensive research on them; I read magazines and scour the internet looking for absolutely every bit of information I can before I buy.
Pros:
- Crips, sharp, contrast full images
- silent focusing
- f/2.8 apature
Cons:
- no image stabiliser

Gives You The Distance
I wanted to get into macro and not only flowers or stationary objects, but small "jumpy" insects. While many reviews stated this lens will give you some extra working room, I did not realize how much until I tried it.
Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Great bokeh
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
- Tripod collar
Cons:
- Heavy

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Macro Review
This is the perfect focal length for timid subjects like insects, allowing a practical working distance that minimises the risk of frightening them away. Despite its focal length and fast maximum aperture, the lens has quite a compact design.

A 150mm macro lens may seem an unusual focal length, but actually it addresses several macro issues. For instance, a 50mm macro is perfect for static subjects where working distance between camera and subject isn't a problem.

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Macro Lens Review
The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Macro Lens delivers excellent image quality in a relatively long focal length (for a macro lens) at a very reasonable price . The image quality a lens is capable of presenting to the camera's sensor is typically the biggest concern I have with a lens.
