Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro

 

The Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro ($1,400 list) is a classic macro lens. It can be mounted to full-frame and APS-C cameras alike, although on the latter the field of view will be cropped by a 1.5x factor. It's available for Sigma, Canon, and...

Minimal distortion. 1:1 magnification. Optical stabilization. Full-frame coverage

Soft wide open. Expensive

The Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro is an f/2.8 lens with a classic macro focal length. It's not the sharpest lens wide open, but it does a good job from f/4 onward.

Lens Test: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro

 

A ruggedly constructed, large-aperture, full-frame, image-stabilized, 1:1 close-up lens, this medium telephoto prime ($970, street) converts up to about 150mm on Sigma's SD1, as well as on most DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors

Great distortion control and sharpness

Pricey; disappointing OS system

Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM

 

Both Sigma lenses use the company's HyperSonic Motor (HSM) autofocus, which is practically as quiet as the equivalent Canon and Nikon systems, although it proved rather slower in our tests.

Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX DG AF Review Round-Up

 

Like the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Lens, the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX DG lens is a well-built, well-spec'd lens with a value price. But, giving up 4mm of focal length range on the wide end results in a much more compact lens. In addition, the 28-70 is...

Lens Test: Sigma 105mm F/2.8 EX DG AF

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: This DG-designated lens, which replaces the non-DG version (tested August 1998), is optimized for digital SLRs. Optical improvements include a new 11-element, 10-group design (up from 10 elements in nine groups), to improve...

Product Specifications

The Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens offers an ultra-wide zoom solution to digital cameras, and was exclusively designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras. The super wide-angle capability of this zoom lens (equivalent range of approx. 17-34mm when used with a digital SLR camera) makes it a very powerful tool for both indoor and landscape photography. DC lenses are exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras. The image circle (rear of lens) is made to match the smaller dimensions used for the image sensor on digital cameras. As a result these lenses are also more compact and lightweight, and are better matched to digital SLR cameras.
