Had this lens on my 40D in past, it focuses slow, but macro is mostly manualy focussing. I tested it for portraits also, very sharp. Working distance is better than 100mm if you want to take pictures of butterfly's or other shy insects.
Pros:
- Very sharp
- f2.8
- exellent distance for shy insects
- also for portraits
- built like a tank
Cons:
- Slow AF

Sigma AF 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO Macro OS (Canon EOS) - APS-C Review / Test Report
The Sigma AF 150mm f/2.8 EX HSM DG APO macro OS is certainly among the very best macro lenses that we've tested here at photozone. It delivered great results in our full format test already and it is not worse in the APS-C format despite the comparatively higher pixel density of our base DSLR.

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.

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 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.

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
