Product Description The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras offers advanced performance of close-up photography. The OS ,Optical Stabilizer system enables handheld close-up photography. A Special Low Dispersion ,SLD lens and one high refractive index SLD lens provide excellent correction for all types of aberration and distortion.

This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration and provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 Macro.The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, providing high contrast images. It is also possible to use this lens with Sigma's APO TELE CONVERTERS. The HSM ,Hyper Sonic Motor ensures quiet and high speed autofocus as well as full-time manual focus capability. This lens features a splash proof design for use in harsh conditions and a rounded 9 blade diaphragm creating an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image.

Review: Excellent pro quality macro lens - What a beast of a lens this is. I use the lens for everything, not just macro, as it's the sharpest lens I've ever used. Even at 100% on a 24MP sensor, the images are usually close to perfect. The times they are not are unlikely to be the fault of the lens, as it proves itself much of the time. The optical stabilisation (vibration reduction) works very well for stationary items. I haven't had results quite as good as some reviews have suggested, but on a good day I can take the shutter speed down to around 1/30th and get a lovely sharp image, but often I need a higher shutter speed than that. The OS definitely does improve things though and is very worth having. I've read many comments about the OS being noisy - But I don't understand why that's a problem. It's a low noise that you can barely hear and nobody further than a few feet away would even notice. Like any mechanical thing, you're going to hear it when it's sitting right by your face. So don't be put off this lens from comments about that. Auto-focus is accurate and consistent after calibrating to your camera (it's imperative to set the fine tune correctly for the sharpest images, if you have that option on your camera). Focusing is quiet and fast, and the lens does not rotate as focus adjusts. Manual override works well too, with a nice feel that isn't too loose or too tight. Resolution is excellent. I haven't done scientific tests but in the real world, I'm very impressed with the clarity and resolution of even distant objects. I have found one of the best tests of this is to look at distance buildings in your photos at 100%, and see how clear the bricks are. Although I'm not sure of exact numbers, the sweet spot for this lens seems to be around f9, and the images are faultless at this aperture. Even shots taken down to f4 are excellent, but you will notice a lack of clarity if you're pixel-peeping distant objects. I haven't used it much at wider than f4 so cannot give any accurate info about the quality wide open. For macro, the lens's intended use, the images are fantastic. Even down to f22, when you need more depth of field with macro work, the quality is very good. It's a heavy lens and you really notice this when using it on a tripod, as if you don't have the tripod head screwed tightly in place it's easy for the weight of the lens to pull the camera down and you risk damaging it. This isn't a fault of this lens of course, but is something to be careful of when in use. One thing to note with this and any other lens that has some sort of vibration reduction, is that it's only helping keep the camera effectively steady. If you're shooting anything that's moving, even just a little, you need to take that into account when calculating what shutter speed to use in the same way you would when using a non-OS lens. I highly recommend this lens, even for pro use.
Review: Awesome lens - When I first got this lens, I reviewed it and was perhaps I was a bit overly critical of it. I gave it four stars and pointed out all of its faults. And if you want to be critical about it, you do have things you can pick on if you want. However, one year on and many pictures later, I am now very happy with this lens. It takes beautiful pictures and it has lovely bokeh. I am now really glad I got it. I was originally critical of the noises generated by the Optical Stabilisation mechanism. However, I find now that in practice, as a photographer, this really makes no difference to me ‘in the field’. I just ignore it whirling away and nobody else seems to pay attention either. (If you need to go totally silent, you can always turn OS off, but your camera’s mirror will still make that clunking noise when you take your picture and that is louder!) I was also critical of it for having variable aperture without making it clear. I was unhappy with maximum aperture closing down when you got closer to your subject (i.e. for head shots). I really wanted that f/2.8 throughout, so was originally disappointed to find that it closed down to as much as f/5.6 when you got very close to your subjects. However, in the field, when you close up too much on your subject, the depth of field becomes so shallow that you really wouldn’t use such wide apertures anyway. In fact, I often find my depth of field is just too shallow and I need to increase the aperture a bit to have more of my subject correctly in focus. So that criticism turned out to be a bit of an academic point after all. The one point I did make about the lens case being WAY TOO BIG for the lens and being therefore totally useless still applies. One year on and my case is still at home, and I have never felt the need to take it out. Totally useless case. Overall though, this is a great lens and it almost lives attached to my camera these days. This year I have taken loads of pictures in the park of the spring flowers and whatnot, so have made good use of it. If, like me, budget is an issue for you and you are agonising over whether to go for this one or to go for the more expensive Nikon 105mm, I would suggest you to go for this one. The Nikon lens is about twice the price, and even second hand it is still significantly more expensive. And since this lens is already an awesome lens, the difference in image quality -if any- would be bound to be very marginal. You would be paying a lot of extra money for very little extra performance – if any. I know this one looks cheap in comparison, and so normal logic would dictate that the reason it’s cheap must be because it's rubbish, but this is not the case here. This lens is awesome. So if the Nikon lens is any better, it could only possibly be ever so slightly better. So save your pennies and go for this one. And if you feel compelled to spend that extra money anyway, get something else for your set up (bounce flash, filters, etc.) So, if you do decide to go for this lens, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed it. It's a great lens. Happy shooting! (All the sample pictures were take with this lens, although I do have the habit of sometimes cropping where appropriate during post-processing, so some pictures may be slightly cropped pictures.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Novice here. I'm struggling with huge depth of field, i.e. Even on the smallest subject I'm only getting a very small portion in focus**
A: Actually, what you're experiencing is a very shallow depth of field and not a huge one. I'm afraid it's one of the pitfalls of macro photography. The closer you get to an object, the shallower the depth of field will be. What you are experiencing is not a fault with the lens.  Using a very small aperture (f16 or smaller) will help a bit, but an advanced technique called focus stacking is the only real way to get front to back focussing. The other method you could try is to take the photo from slightly further away and then crop the image afterwards.

**Q: Does this lens work with auto focus on entry level dslr like d3100 that don't have the option of AF motor in the cam body?What would be af-s on  nikon**
A: This lens has its own motor so yes it will work on your d3100.Regards Dave

**Q: Is it a fixed lens or can it zoom. sorry it might sound a stupid question but I am new to photography**
A: The focal length of the lens is fixed at 105mm i.e. it is not a zoom lens in which you can alter the focal length e.g say 55mm to 155mm. Zoom's give flexibility as, using the zoom, you can alter the focal length and get the picture to fit the frame as you wish. With a fixed focal length lens you have to (potentially) move to get the picture right as you want it in the frame.The Sigma 105mm is a great fix focal length lens. It provides a macro ability as well so you can get close to a smaller subject. These days the zoom lenses are very good and if you are new to photography, it may give you greater scope of 'freedom' to have a zoom. I can thoroughly recommend the Sigma 105mm but suggest you look at the option of a zoom (something like an 18 - 250mm  would give a large scope <from landscape/buildings to mid distance> or a 70-300mm <portrait to medium distance>. Once you have some experience using a zoom, you can then decide which focal length 'prime' lens would best/good for your photography style

**Q: I usually have dx lense on my 5300 nikon . will this lense be ok as it is for full-frame?**
A: I have this lens on our D5300 and everything works fine. Full frame is bigger than DX so the lenses so there is no cropping or vingretting that I have noticed. Focus works fine but if you have it on full range it can take a while if it hunts for it.
