Sigma 180mm F/3.5 EX DG APO HSM Macro Lens Review

 

I believe I will provide a nicer end result, but it is going to take me longer than planned to bring everything online. I currently have all of Canon's current AF lenses and all listed (and a couple of yet-unlisted) Sigma and Tamron lenses with the Sigma

Although 50-105mm focal length macro lenses are by far the most popular, many advanced nature photographers prefer longer lenses.

Sigma 180 mm f/3.5 EX DG HSM Macro APO

 

The Sigma company in its lineup undoubtedly presents its customers with a very wide choice of macro lenses. You can find instruments of that type with focal lengths of 50, 70, 105, 150 and 180 mm on offer. All of them, as it befits real macro devices,...

Good build and finish with excellent tripod bush; Three year Manufacturers warranty (UK only); Silent AF that is quick for a Macro; Excellent value for money

With the price of this lens being half that of the Marque competition and the performance being better in some areas and almost as good in others, we can do little else but to recommend this optic as an excellent buy. If you are in the market for a...
