Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG - Review

Are you in the market for a new macro lens for your Canon SLR camera? Look no further than the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens. With over 1,500 customer reviews and a 4.7-star rating, this lens is a top contender for those looking to capture stunning macro shots.

Designed for use with full frame digital SLR cameras, this lens can also be used with smaller APS-c size sensors, resulting in an effective increase in focal length to about 150mm with most cameras. This added focal length is perfect for getting up close and personal with your subjects.

What really sets the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens apart from others on the market is its ability to focus down to a 1:1 magnification ratio at its closest working distance of 12.3 inches. This means you can capture intricate details and textures in your macro shots that you may have previously missed with other lenses.

In addition to its impressive macro capabilities, this lens also boasts a fast f/2.8 aperture, allowing for exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field effects. The built-in optical stabilizer (OS) further enhances your ability to capture sharp images in low-light situations.

One feature that users particularly appreciate is the included hood adapter, lens hood, and front and rear lens caps. This added convenience saves users both time and money in finding necessary accessories separately. The lens also has a filter size of 62mm, making it easy to find compatible filters.

In terms of potential drawbacks, a few users noted that the lens can be a bit heavy, weighing in at 725 grams. However, the added weight is a tradeoff for the lens' impressive build quality and optical capabilities.

All in all, the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras is an exceptional choice for photographers looking to capture stunning macro shots.
