Description

Product description SKU:SN-196673;Description:Used Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX Macro (Sony-A/Min-Maxxum) Lens Optimized for Nikon digital SLR cameras but also compatible with film SLR cameras, the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 medium telephoto lens allows a greater working distance between the lens and the subject, helping it excel in all shooting ranges. The increased working distance of the lens is ideal when taking the picture of a flower among several branches, or an insect on a leaf. The narrow angle of view helps simplify the background, while the shallow depth of field makes it easier to handle the composition. The lens also offers a super multi coating that reduces the flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras, helping create crisper, sharper photos. And thanks to the Dual Focus (DF) system, the lens is easy to hold during autofocusing, but also offers smooth and positive action should you choose to focus manually on images. Other features include a minimum aperture of f/32, a screw-in lens hood that supports the use of circular polarizing filters, and a minimum focusing distance of 12.3 inches. Offering a 35mm equivalent field of view of 178mm on a digital SLR camera, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

  • Great Value for IQ
I paid slightly under retail for this lens so I’m extremely happy with the value. When I purchased this lens I used it with my Nikon D5200. The lens won’t auto focus if you don’t have an autofocus motor in your camera body. I had to manually focus but it helps composition to slow down and focus. Sadly I lost my nikon D5200 but still had this lens. A friend owned a Nikon D80 that did have an autofocus motor in it. I let them use this lens for awhile and when autofocusing it is extremely loud and rather slow in continuous mode. I seriously advise just using manual focus always. I would imagine the newer HSM version works a lot better. To get to the point about Image quality this lens is the sharpest lens I own. I switched over to Fujifilm and now I use an XT-2. I got an adapter to use my Nikon mount lens with it. But with the adapter you have to manually focus everything. And you need to use lens that have aperture ring. This lens does have that. The images uploaded are shot with this lens and my XT-2. This is a macro lens but can be used for portraits as well. The one image of the mushroom was taken on the Nikon D5200. This lens is great and sharp at f/8 and buttery but very thin DOF at f/2.8 ... show more

  • Excellent lens
I did my research before settling on this lens. I knew I wanted a mid-tele macro instead of a shorter version. The focal distance for the shorter macro lenses seems unrealistic - how can you get the lens out of the way of the shot? I knew I wanted at least a 100mm, so it was between this and the Nikon 105mm Micro/macro. I read the reviews and talked to people who own them, and most agreed that the Nikon is probably a slight bit sharper than the Sigma, especially wide open and that the Nikon AF is faster. They also agreed that the Nikon will hold its value over time better than the Sigma. But, none of that really mattered to me. I don't consider lenses investments in terms of holding value for resale. I also don't need a macro lens to be especially fast at focus, especially autofocus. After testing this out, I'm sure I made the right choice. The Sigma is a slight bit softer wide-open than the Nikon, but it's still very sharp. It's also lighter to carry than the Nikon and half the price. This is a great lens if you are an amateur or serious enthusiast on a respectable budget. I'm very happy with the quality of the lens and the photographs. ... show more

  • I'm in love!
My teachers in my college photography classes always harped to NEVER use third-party lenses for cameras. But honestly, I'm not going to spend $1000 (give or take) on the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 when I can get this Sigma brand for around $480. I use it on my D90, and I couldn't be more in love. When I read reviews on this lens before purchasing, some people had said that they thought the autofocus on it was slow and/or loud. I personally think it's pretty fast. I shot photos of super quick miniature horses, and they would literally not stop sprinting while I was photographing them. EVERY photo I took of them in motion with this lens was in focus. Every single one. As for the loud factor... well, it's not the quietest, but it's also not the worst I've ever used before. This is my first macro lens, and I've been wanting to get one for awhile. I'm just amazed how close I can get to things with this lens. I'm a budding wedding photographer, and I wanted this Sigma brand to photograph up close shots of wedding rings and other detail photos during weddings. It's just a dream come true. It's also an amazing portrait lens... almost too amazing, and what I mean by that is, don't show someone an up-close shot of their face after using this until you retouch their pores! The construction of the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 is great as well. It doesn't feel cheap, and has a nice weight to it (but not to the point where it's difficult to get hand-held shots). I'm very happy I purchased this, and will continue to buy more Sigma lenses in the future! ... show more

  • super sharp, a great value compared to other brands
I previously owned the sigma 150 macro. It was super sharp and awesome in any way, just kind of big and heavy. So I decided to get the 105mm because it's cheaper and lighter, more likely to stay in my bag. The 105 lacks HSM but that's not really a problem for macro where you use manual focus, or for portraits where you don't need fast focusing. The min focus distance is about the same. I didn't get the 60-70mm macros because I also want to use the lens for portraits and 105 is better. I researched the tokina & tamron equivalents but I choose sigma cause it was cheaper. The reviews say they're all about the same. I agree the Tamron 90 macro is better but it's a lot more expensive. Plus I think 105 is better for portraits. Overall I highly recommend this lens for nikons. For canon bodies, the sigmas typically front focus and I would only buy canon lenses (canon has a good 100mm macro). ... show more

  • Makes me look good!
Once again, I labored over the decision to purchase a Nikon lens or a Sigma (I have the Sigma 10-20mm and the new 120-400mm lens). I couldn't justify the extra cost of the Nikon ($300 plus) and chose to order the Sigma. From the very first shots I was extremely pleased. I took a few pictures of a simple flower by my mailbox. The results were amazing. The images were very sharp,the background was pleasantly out of focus, and the colors were absolutely beautiful. I was impressed enough to decide that several of these were good enough to frame and display in my home. I would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to do close-up photography. ... show more
