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 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

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 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.

Pros:

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

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.
