Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Sigma macro review
This is a great lens. We've taken some great shots of flora and fauna with it, also a few sports shots. Image rendition is excellent. We use it on Canon 30D and 40D bodies. It focuses quickly and without a lot of noise. We have no complaints at all with this lens.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - terrific
terrific lens, really sharp. seems like you get a lot of quality for a fair price. i have a couple of "L" lenses, and they're great, and/but i don't think an "L" glass version of this lens would be much better than this.
