Sigma AF 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO Macro OS (Canon EOS) - Review / Test Report
There aren't many third-party manufacturer products which truly stand out from the crowd. However, Sigma's 150mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO macro lens was clearly one of them. Sigma has just released its successor featuring Sigma's OS (Optical Image Stabilizer).

Surprisingly Good Macro Lens
My preliminary usage has been to photograph flowers and insects after a couple of test shots. Sharpness compares favorably with my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens. I would not have purchased such a lens from Sigma without the glowing reviews here.

Nice lens, quite cheap now
Great lens, a little heavy, focuses well with my 5DmkII. VERY shallow depth of field. Sometimes is difficult to have the theme complete in focus withoutd using flash and f/ 16. Its not the macro lens for all day, thats the 50mm, but can be valuable for live insects and animals, snakes for example.

Sigma needs to get it's act together

Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls

- Bulky
