Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- User Rating: Summary for Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- This lens ROCKS Notes on Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- I own a Nikon D200 and already have a 300 mm lens that will do "macro" which for me, isn't the kind of macro I like to do. A lot of professional photographers don't 'get it' as to why I would want a 1:1 ratio. I love this lens from the moment I tried it out. What convinced me to buy it was a lens review in PC Photo magazine (the most recent issue) that reviewed the Sigma, Nikon and Canon 50mm macro lenses. This one won hands down and I can easily see why. You can view some of my macro shots at my web album: [...]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- User Rating: Summary for Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- Great lens for the price. Notes on Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- For the price I am happy with this macro lens. I purchased it for a Nikon D40 DSLR. It will not auto focus with this camera, as a AF-S lens is needed for that; but those are in the range of $700+; so this lens is fine with manual focus, and for $550 or so less than one that will auto focus with my camera. I am happy with the photo quality that it produces. Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- User Rating: Summary for Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- Very Good Reasonably Priced Macro Notes on Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- I have always wanted a Macro lens - and this is my first. So far it has lived up to my expectations. Is lightweight and is just great for real closeups. For a reasonably priced macro, I recommend this lens!
Although I am used to zoom lenses and this one is fixed, I think it will be useful for a lot of situations other than close ups, especially since it is an f/2.8 lens - faster than any of my zoom lenses. Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- User Rating: Summary for Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- Excellent Lens Notes on Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens ...- I recently purchased the Nikon D200 camera. I had several nice zoom lenses but I did not have anything which would take macro close-up photos. I did some research and found good reviews for this lens. So I got it.
The lens is an excellent lens for close-up photos. I am not a professional photographer but I try really hard to get good sharp photos. This lens will do the job.
Since it is also also a 50mm lens I have used it as a normal lens. The only problem with that is that over the years many of us have been spoiled with zoom lenses. With a zoom lens you can stand in one spot and zoom the lens in or out to get closer or father from your subject. With just the 50mm capability of this lens you have to physically move in or out to get a closer shot or a wider shot. This is not necessarily a criticism, just a comment about how we have been spoiled by zoom lenses.
I do not believe you will be disappointed with this lens. The price is great for the quality.
