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.

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.

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO Macro review by sonylover1

Needs microadjustment but when you are finished with that cumbersome work you are really rewarded. With that manual fovus and silent HSM you can film very nice macros. You need steady hands or tripod for best results. Kills my Canon 100 mm 2.8 - so I sold it. Best bang for the buck!
Pros:
  • Sharp
  • Supergood feel when MF
Cons:
  • No OS
