Quirky, but worth it

"When I first started looking for a mid-level macro lens, a few weeks ago, I was naturally drawn first to the Canon 60mm, as I have already have 2 Canon bodies. But then I started looking around, reading reviews (mostly on Fred Miranda's site), and comparing prices. The more research I did, the more appealing this lens became. And finally, I decided to go with it. Here's why: - The price is similar to the Can..." Read Full Review »

A good, but imperfect lens

"The Sigma 105mm has received praises for many systems, and in some instances these rave remarks are rightly due. The lens is an excellent value with a good build and super sharp optics. However there are many quirks with the lens that often get overlooked. The auto-focus performance is worse than lackluster and switching from auto to manual focus is a bit tiresome. The build is good, but the design provision..." Read Full Review »

Sharp and clear

★★★★★
5.0

"Of all my Four-Thirds compatible lenses this has become a favorite. The Sigma is sharp, reasonably compact and features an actual manual focus mode. Yes, the 50-200mm Zuiko covers this range and is just as sharp, but this lens is much smaller and lighter than the Olympus lens and is, of course, a …"  Read Full Review »

Worth every penny

"I've been using this lens for about 3 months now on a Canon EOS-350D and the Canon 5D. It has supurb optics. At f2.8, it is sharp. From f3.0 it takes off and stays sharp up to about f14. The focus mechanism is a little different from most other lenses, but actually I've grown to like it. With a …"  Read Full Review »

super sharp, a great value compared to other brands

★★★★★
5.0

"I previously owned the sigma 150 macro. It was super sharp and awesome in any way, just kind of big and heavy. So I decided to get the 105mm because it's cheaper and lighter, more likely to stay in my bag. The 105 lacks HSM but that's not really a problem for macro where you use manual focus, or …"  Read Full 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 au …"  Read Full Review »
