Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX macro DG AF Review Round-Up

 

The Sigma AF 50mm f/2.8 EX macro DG is an excellent lens without any significant optical flaws. Compared to the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM macro it shows less vignetting at wide-open aperture - other than that both lenses perform quite similar....

Super sharp, full frame gem

 

It is one of the sharpest lens out there with great color contrast. Most of the other similar macro lenses are only for crop sensor (so think about it if you plan to upgrade in the future). AF is accurate but on the slow side.

superb image quality, price

auto focus is on the slow side

Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro review by wesfoto

 

As a macro lens that works on my full frame Sony a900, this is a good lens at a good price. Just be aware that the focus motor is quite loud (I was trying to use it in a public library) and as noted in the review, there is quite a bit of CA.

small, light, sharp focus

noisy AF, the CA is as bad as tested

Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro review by lextalionis

 

Honestly I wish I had known about this lens when I got started into macro. I could have saved $250 and would probably still have it in my bag after buying a 100mm f/2.8 macro.

Sharp, good beginner macro and portrait lens

Trombones outward a good bit and AF is slow
