Customer Reviews

Works fine
I use this lens daily in my dental office with a ring flash. It is big and heavy but takes great pictures. It is not a versatile photo item and has specific uses. I would not take it on vacation but it is excellent for telephoto, portrait or close-up, macro photos. It works well with the auto focus system on my Pentax 200D. Because of it's size, I suspect it will use up battery power very quickly if you use it with auto focus and it is forced to move alot. I use it in manual focus and just move forward or backward to get a sharp image.

Great image quality and solidly built
If you wanted to try out some true macro photography this is good lens to start with. It provides a decent working distance to the subjects and also doubles as a very nice portrait lens. It's quite sharp even wide open and it renders colors and blur very well.

Great macro/portrait lens
I was looking for a prime lens with macro capability and since I already had the Pentax 50mm f/1.4, I needed something in the 100mm range. There were two options: this Sigma and the Pentax equivalent that was slightly more expensive. I've seen some great recommendations for the Sigma on photo.net, so I decided to go with it and I don't regret that choice. If you've been using cheaper lenses, this lens will show you why it's worth investing more into a good prime lens. I've been using it for macro photography (flowers) and for portraits with great results. I also recommend the Sigma DG 58mm Multi-Coated UV Filter to go with it.
