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.

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 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

Best bang for the any buck. Must have for macro 1:1
Must have for Macro photos. This is some of the best glass available for macro 1:1 photos on the market at any price range and the fact that it cost around 1K makes it a deal.

a better lens that the canon? maybe- but regardless it's a fantastic lens and well worth buying
150mm is a pretty unique focal length for a macro lens, coming up close to the very heavy and very expensive 180mm L from canon. having a longer focal length is a double edge sword, as it can give you shallower depth of field, but also can make it harder to get all your subject in focus.
