Product is everthing good that I heard it was. IQ is excellent. It is priced reasonably well. Build quality is very good as with all sigma lenses. Have not seen any negitive lens quality. Am completely pleased with this product.
I bought this lens for macro work after I saw the photos of a member of my camera club made with the same lens. I wasn't disappointed. Photos are sharp & clear.
I need a Macro lens for my Nikon D-60 So I looked at the Nikon AF-S VR 60mm, the Nikon 105 AF-S VR lenses and the Sigma 105 macro lense.The sigma is missing some fetures of the Nikkor lenses, however in macro work you are normal using AP mode and manual focus. I feel the 105 lenses work at more flexable distance from the subject, the quality of the immage between a the nikon 105 and the Sigma is nearly identical. But difference in price is inportant to me. Summar, the sigma has a signifant price/performance edge of the Nikon competers.
We are, however, pleased with the Signma lens in general. I cannot tell which.
After two weeks of use, however, the autofocus was unable to focus on any object consistently. It would sometimes be able to do so and other times it could not.
This item was received on March 2nd in good condition. However, this could be because the lens "thinks" it is focused and stops the focus movement.
Mostly this seems to occur with the lens is extended and the object to focus on requires the lens to retract. The retraction motor seems week and unable to pull the lens back in all the way.
I will be sending this one back. We use it a great deal and have two camera so equipped for our business.
Picked this Lens up after spending an after noon in a camera shop playing and shooting around. when it came down to it. Money and Quality, Pound for Pound the Sigma does the Trick.Its Well Worth the Money.
