A Top Macro Macro Lens!


The Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro is among the best 4 best macro lenses in the world: Canon 100mm f2.8L IS, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Micro and probably the sharpest one Sigma 150 f2.8 macro. Sigma 70mm f2.8 (special color corrected multi-coating and designed for any format APS or full-frame sensors) is absolutely sharp with great "bokeh" for macro shots and also portraits (sometimes too sharp for portraits). It fits very well in the APS cameras as a 100 or 112mm macro for that perfect distance in flowers & insects shots or as a super fast portrait lens. Fitted in a full-frame you'll get a great all purpose macro, landscape, portrait lens. I have had them all and I kept the 70mm and 150mm Sigmas. Since them I'm always ready for any kind of product, portrait and macro shooting. I'm a professional photographer based in NYC with 3 decades of experience.Read full review...

Gets the job done for a great price. Requires skill to get good results.

Using on a Canon 60D
Definitely best for use as a Macro lens. Bought it with intention of using it as cheap, multipurpose, fast glass. Works great in brilliant sunlight, not as sharp in low-light. It gets the job done and at an extremely reasonable price. Works wonderfully for up-close video!
I wish I had put out extra money for sharper glass, though I'm not completely dissatisfied with this purchase as it does get the job done for portraits and general purpose.Read full review...

Great lens!

Great lens! For the price you can't beat the quality of this lens. 17-70 is a nice range and the 2.8 makes for some nice shallow depth of field.
