Wanted to get a macro lens to complete my equipment setup, after looking around the Sigma looked like one of the best to try. The 105mm focal length means to don't have to get too close to anything which might be scared off e.g. insects and so far the lens has produced excellent results.

Very Loud Os

This is a serious bit of kit it's just stunning the only bad point is that it's so heavy this is a lens for Charles atlas !!!. Now I've got the bad point out of the way I took the lens and my Nikon d5600 out in the midday sticking it into hedges to get bug shots I will admit I had to bump the iso up...

The Sigma 105mm macro has excellent performance in all light conditions. Although weighty, it is solidly built and is excellently balanced when used with my 600D. Images are crisp and clear. The Optical Stabilisation feature is wonderful and aids admirably in fine macro work.

Although it's not the cheapest of lenses, the Sigma 105mm macro proved to be worth its price-tag. The HyperSonic Motor provided the fastest and most accurate AF and the Optical Stabilizer was invaluable for handheld shots, but where the lens really excelled was in the image quality it produced.

I picked up this lens because I shoot a ton of macro work all year round and have been doing so with the 50mm version for over 4 years the only problem i was running into was how close i had to get to my subjects (I.E bugs, insects, ect.

The Sigma lenses are becoming my favorite. That is a hard statement consider I am team Nikon everything. I had a Nikon macro and it worked okay, but the motor broke and I returned it. This gem was on sale ($400 off!) so I gave it a go. I am so glad I did! The clarity and Bokeh is amazing.

First, thanks to Adorama for the excellent and fast service to replace the defective lens.The replacement lens arrived as scheduled.The lens is heavy. It produces sharp images if it get at the correct focus as the autofocus was some kind like hunting.

As a manufacturer of a wide range of lenses from 8-800mm, Sigma's line also includes true macro lenses for extreme close-up photography. Both of the current models will produce a full life-size rendition of the subject without accessories: the AF...

Love the lens

Relatively lightweight and super accurate. Tried it shooting flowers and small insects. Tack sharp. I own the 120-300 Sigma sports lens and this one is so much easier to handle, especially on the D4.
