Since this lens arrived it has not been off my camera body, the sharpness and quality of the photographs I have been producing with this lens are fantastic. I cannot fault it as a macro. Amazing for portraits and wildlife pictures, such as insects. I would recommend this to anyone!

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I purchased this lens based on reviews I had seen on other web sites and I do not regret it. The lens focuses quickly in AF mode and in manual focus, it focuses as smooth as an AF lens I've used does.

Once you put the lens head on it doesn't come off. So you are stuck with your lens hood for good. This lens produces nice macro photos. But because it's 50mm lens, you have to really get closer to the subject.

I bought the lens for yourself. The lens is in exсellent condition. Auto focus works flawlessly. Pictures in the "macro" get great. I tried to do the usual shooting, the result was normal, but such surveys would recommend using a long-focus lenses and do not forget that lens is "macro".

This 50mm lens by Sigma does exactly what it says. I have taken many close up shots with it and the image quality is outstanding.

Easy To Use; Great Resolution; Excellent In Low Light; Nice Features and Settings

Great lens! I use this on my Pentax K-50. It's not a 50mm as the review headline says though while writing this, it's a 70mm. It takes wonderful macro images and I use it quite frequently for that. My images can be seen here: alittleplaceontheweb.com if you would like to see examples.

This Sigma Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG is a standard macro lens that is ideal for shooting the "small world' around us that exists virtually unseen. A macro lens is one which will focus on a subject close enough to render it "life-size" on the image plane in your camera.

The optical construction is made of 10 elements in 9 groups without any special elements. The aperture mechanism has 7 aperture blades. Typical for most true macro lenses the lens features a floating system which corrects aberrations down to the max. magnification of 1:1 at a min.
