The Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG EX macro is among the best 4 best macro lenses in the world: Canon 100mm f2.8L IS, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Micro and probably the sharpest one Sigma 150 f2.8 DG EX macro. Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG (special color corrected multi-coating and designed for any format APS or full-frame sensors) is absolutely sharp with great "bokeh" for macro shots and also portraits (sometimes too sharp for portraits). It fits very well in the APS cameras as a 100 or 112mm macro for that perfect distance in flowers & insects shots or as a super fast portrait lens. Fitted in a full-frame you'll get a great all purpose macro, landscape, portrait lens. I have had them all and I kept the 70mm and 150mm Sigmas. Since them I'm always ready for any kind of product, portrait and macro shooting. I'm a professional photographer based in NYC with 3 decades of experience.Read full review
this is my first pro level lens. i'm not sure if that influences this review or not but here goes. i have a canon 20d and 40d. i've used the canon kit lens 18-55mm and 28-135mm. i've purchased a few other lens' all in similar price ranges aprox. $300 to $600.00. when i got the sigma i was a little apprehensive. i've read some mixed reviews. but when i actually started using it, i immediately noticed the difference from my older pictures. the lens is super sharp. even at f2.8 through all focal lengths. great bokeh. beautiful color saturation and contrast. its huge and feels sturdy. very well built. i am a semi professional photographer working some weekends doing weddings and other events. this lens is great for all around. definately pro quality. it got 4 stars in 'popular photography' magazine february 2010 issue which helped me in deciding to purchase the lens.Read full review
I am selling mine because this camera is not good for video in auto focus mode which is the trend going on today. You have to get the current version. It is good value for photo but not video.

This is very sharp with great colors and contrast lens. Super bokeh. Little bit noisy and not fast but image quality simply superb starting from F2.8.
