SIGMA 105 f2.8 Macro EX Lens

#1 Post by cave_canem » Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:36 pm

Hi All. I gave the Sigma 105 f2.8 macro lens a whirl today. It's been in the camera bag for so long I almost forgot it was there. Should make for a good Portrait lens as well. These are jpegs straight from the camera.

Hi Jeff, I think the Sigma should proform well. I know the Nikon equivalent is worth way to much. Most likely as is the Canon.

Otis, I reckon the lens was about 20-30cm from the little drum. I'll get back to you on the minimum focal distance. Would like to get out in the scrub with it to see how it goes.
