The Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro delivers superb, distortion-free images throughout its broad focus range, from infinity telephoto to 1: 1 (life-size) macro, as close as 12.3" without accessories. Its non-rotating front lens group makes it easier to work with polarizing filters and has a focus limiter.A "focus-free" mechanical design allows the lens to auto focus without any interference from the manual focus ring. This makes it easier to hold the lens without affecting the speed or normal operation of the autofocus function. Rugged mechanical construction also makes it durable enough for even the heaviest use required by professional photographers.The Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro features the new deluxe external EX finish. These features and other Sigma optical advances, including an uncommonly broad range of focus, make this an ideal lens for a wide variety of applications, from nature photography to portraits. A handy screw-in type metal sunshade makes it easier to rotate a polarizing filter.

Conclusion: Makes me look good!
Review: Once again, I labored over the decision to purchase a Nikon lens or a Sigma (I have the Sigma 10-20mm and the new 120-400mm lens). I couldn't justify the extra cost of the Nikon ($300 plus) and chose to order the Sigma. From the very first shots I was extremely pleased. I took a few pictures of a simple flower by my mailbox. The results were amazing. The images were very sharp,the background was pleasantly out of focus, and the colors were absolutely beautiful. I was impressed enough to decide that several of these were good enough to frame and display in my home. I would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to do close-up photography.

Conclusion: Very good lens
Review: I've been using this lens for the past 6 months with my Nikon D50. I had previous experiences with another macro lens, the Nikon Micro 60mm borrowed from a friend. I'm not a professional photographer, but I can tell that the Sigma 105 lens is very good: solid build, sharp image, fast and silent autofocus. In my experience the Nikon Micro 60mm is slightly sharper, has a slightly more vibrant rendition of colours (red in particular), and has an heftier built. Anyway I preferred the Sigma 105 for its focal length that suits better my needs and for its very competitive price.

Conclusion: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for my Nikon D80
Review: I bought this Sigma Macro lens along with the Sigma ring flash as a matched set. I am glad I did. Sigma has a good reputation and this lens proofs it. Great price and great quality. This macro lens works perfect, the zoom and focus work great on any close subject, I am truly impressed with the photos it produces. It works perfectly with my Nikon D80 camera.

Conclusion: I am absolutely loving this lens!
Review: Originally I didn't want to stray from Nikon products, but Sigma definitely has my attention. This is an excellent lens in both build quality and function. It works flawlessly on my Nikon D40, metering perfectly and in addition, even though it's manual focus on my camera, it is spot on with the auto-focus indicator light (lower left corner of view finder). I highly recommend this lens to anyone who is looking to get into macro! Don't be scared if you're a Nikon D40 user, I was at first, and now I'm hooked on this lens! Do yourself a favor and buy one!

Conclusion: Sigma Macro Lens
Review: This lens is very sharp! I like the manual focus it is easy to move the focus ring. Tho auto focus work fine but I prefer the manual when photographing flowers.
