F2.8 large aperture tele-macro lens
Tele macro lenses have a greater working distance. It is possible to enjoy Macro photography, even when you are far from subject. This enables you to capture the small animals and insects without disturbing them. Very narrow depth-of-field allows selective focusing and less distracting backgrounds. Large aperture of F2.8 is ideal for sports, action and indoor photography.

It is equipped with two pieces of Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements.
Two SLD glass elements control various color aberrations and assure high and sharp image quality.

Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) with full time manual focus override.
The HSM models provide ultra quiet high-speed autofocusing as well as full-time manual focus override.

Floating Focusing System produces excellent optical performance.
A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical system to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration. Since focusing does not change its overall length, this lens is easy to hold and use.

Super Multi Layer Coating
Super Multi Layer Coating of this lens gives superb color performance whilst cutting down flare and ghost caused by reflections from the digital image sensor.

APO Tele-Converter EX (optional)
It is also possible to use this lens with Sigma 1.4x EX and 2x EX APO Tele-Converter. When this lens is used with the 1.4x EX or 2x EX Apo Tele Converters (optional), it becomes a 210mm F4 AF tele-macro lens or a 300mm F5.6 MF tele-macro lens respectively.

"I purchased this Sigma f2.8 150mm APO Macro for several reasons. One, was I wanted a longer reach but still wanted f2.8. This is the only macro lens by anyone with 150mm or more and f2.8.

"Love this lens. Traded up from an older Tamron 90mm. Very, very smooth bokeh. Backgrounds like butter when wide open. Best with manual focus when doing macro at 1:1. "

"I debated originally between the Sigma 70mm, the Nikon 105mm VR, and possibly the Nikon 60mm. The Sigma 70mm is a great value for such a sharp lens. I liked the Nikon for the virtue of being a Nikon however it's reviews weren't as stellar as I would have liked given the price. I also didn't have …" Read Full Review »

"I was in the market for a longer macro lens, something that would give me a little working room with insects. I heard good things about this lens, so I purchased one. I was very impressed with the level of sharpness, and color / contrast accuracy this lens produces, both on a D300, and on a F5.
