Description

Product description A medium telephoto macro lens which is designed for traditional and digital SLR cameras, its lens power layout produces an excellent optical performance. The lens coating cuts down ghost. The DG lens is designed to reduce the influence of harmful light caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. Its outstanding optical performance provides the ultimate correction against lateral chromatic aberration and distortion. This lens boasts compact dimensions of 2.9" (maximum diameter) and 3.7" (overall length). It has a filter size of 58mm and, at just 15.8 OZ, is also extremely lightweight. The minimum focusing distance of 31.2cm (12.2in) is capable of macro photography with a maximum magnification of 1:1. It is possible to enjoy photography from life-size close-up to infinity. This lens is equipped with a "Focus Limiter Switch" that limits the AF range so improving the speed and accuracy of auto focus. It also incorporates a Dual Focus (DF) system that is designed to make the lens easy to hold during auto focusing. The large focus ring offers smooth and positive action whilst focusing manually. A screw-in hood is included, for convenient use of circular polarizing filters. This telephoto macro lens has an equivalent field of view of 178mm on a digital SLR camera (when used with the SD10). 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.

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

    • Nice lens for nice close-up pictures.
I like the lens quality; the optics are better rated than the Nikon brand and the autofocus works with the body.

Ken Rockwell said in his review of the D7000 that this lens didn't fit. Lies. Got it two days ago and have been dropping my jaw ever since. I'll put some pictures up that I took today of my wife's and my eyes. Go check them out. FYI, tripod is almost necessary in every situation. Vibration Reduction would have been an intensely good choice. And like others have stated, the autofocus is crap. It searches all over the place. But if you're using this for its intended purpose of getting up in the grill of whatever you're photographing, then autofocus shouldn't be on anyway. Oh, and the barrol of the lens extends the whole thing to twice its original length. AND, sorry, and it's not a fixed 2.8. When you're focusing on something right at its minimal focus distance of around 11 inches, the f-stop is 5.8 I think. OK, THAT"S IT. Check out the eye photos in the gallery for this lens. ... 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

    • Disappointed
I'm sure this is a great lens but it was absolutely worthless for what I wanted to use it for. The focal point is soooo small and even with a good tripod you still get a good amount of camera shake or blur in the picture. I know a macro lens is often talked about when taking pictures of bugs and what not but I am a fossil dealer and was hoping to take crips pictures of specific areas on a fossil (ie. a potential undisclosed repair or restoration) but you have to be very far away and your subject has to be very very very small (ie. an ant) for this lens to be useful. If you want to take a picture of the eyeball of a wasp from far away....then yes, this might be the lens for you. If for instance your a coin collector and you want to take a crips shot of a 1821 penny....its not going to happen with this lens. You would need to place the penny on the driveway and you and your camera, with the tripod, would need to get on the roof of your house, and even then....you'd have a very difficult time getting this thing to focus on the entire shot. I read lots of reviews that talked about how great this lens is before shelling out the cash...and I am sure it is...but you have to be buying it for its sole intented purpose (taking pictures from far away of bugs) and don't go outside that purpose expecting it to work. Am I a professional photographer and a camera and lens expert? No, but I do take approx. 10,000 pictures per week x 10 years and you begin to pick up on things just with experience. This is a review based on how the lens performed for my intented purposes. I am not giving the lens a 2 rating...just my experience with it. Hope this helps others who were perhaps hoping to use this lens for something besides taking pictures of bugs and small flowers. Kind regards, Garry ... show more

    • Be aware... I wasn't...
I am sure this is an excellent lense - jus be aware that if you use it in AP mode on your nice new D300 etc you will need to set the aperture manually on the lens... It is not full auto like a Nikon AF lens... I was disapointed when I learnt this... Oh well...

    • Good for the money.
I paid $380 for a used lens that looked brand new out the box. At that price I had to buy it. The lens takes great pictures but it is a subsitute for the Nikon VR 105mm. The virbration reduction is the only thing missing. I have to shoot more off the tripod for shots like ring and marco shoots. The Nikon lens saves me a little more time. If you have the money buy the Nikon lens. However, If money is a concern the Sigma 105 is a great buy. The question would I recommend this lens to someone? YES! Am I happy with this lens? YES! ... show more
