Advantages: Optical quality. Build quality. Price. Disadvantages: Could come free with Cornflakes?
-Thirds' mount, used primarily by Olympus. However, the effective doubling of focal length makes it an effective 300mmf/2.8 MACRO. In my opinion, this specification is more akin to a 'sports' or 'wildlife' application but hey, what do I know?
As with all the SigmaEX lenses, build quality and finish are excellent. The now familiar 'smooth' black crinkle finish does seem to attract dust but fortunately, is very easy to wipe over and clean. It appears so far, to be quite hard wearing, so no worries there then. The lens 'is' quite heavy but at the same time, well balanced. I prefer to use my lens on a good tripod whenever possible, the included rotating tripod mounting collar being a delight to use. However, the lens handles well 'hand-held' once the aforementioned tripod collar has been removed. This is very simple to do and takes literally ...
Advantages: Good quality results. Good build. Compact. Price. Disadvantages: Distortion with architecture and interior shots.
I have owned two of these lenses. One (the first) for my Nikon DSLR (since disposed of) and the second for my Canon APS-C sensor DSLR. Both lenses exhibited near identical characteristics and qualities which does at least imply consistency.
This lens covers the useful range of 15-30mm on a APS-C Nikon, 16-32mm on a APS-C Canon and 17-34mm on a Sigma DSLR - not quite the classic 16-35mm range but near enough nonetheless and, a valuable and versatile addition to anyone's APS-C based kit.
This of course is a Sigma DC lens and as such, is suitable only for the APS-C sized cropped sensor DSLR's. It cannot be used on full-frame or 35mm cameras. The EX designation stands for 'Excellence', Sigma's designation for their professional quality lenses and it's feel and finish are in keeping with this. It is quite weighty (for it's size ...
Advantages: value for money (compared to pro level), build quality, Disadvantages: makes you think your a pro, but by its nature, proves you otherwise.
quality macro lens. It's a bit slow on auto focus, but if you shooting macro the chances are that the subject is pretty still. I use mine most days.
Tech Spec:
Focal length - 105mm
Weight - about 500g
Magnification - 1:1f-stop range - 2.8-32
Filter size 58mm
Mounts: SIGMA, CANON, NIKON, SONY, PENTAX
Final point: Read about macro photography before buying a lens like this. The technique is NOT the same as 'point and shoot'. ...
