    A Top Macro Macro Lens! 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.

    Best kept secret! I need a zoom lens in this range for event coverage and family portraits.
    I had been using my Canon 24 to 105. A great lens but a little to slow and wanted to get a f2.8. Canon came out with a new 24 to 70 but it is not available yet and cost $2399.00. So I thought I would try out the Sigma lens. Let me tell you…WOW! What a great lens for such a low price. Optically the lens is even better than my Canon 24 to 105. It is made very well. I would say that if you are going to be shooting out in the rain the Canon lens may be sealed better. But since that is not a problem for me the construction of this lens is very, very good. It has a nice feel. The zoom ring is smooth and has just the correct amount of tension. I also like the balance of the lens…it feels good in my hand and works smoothly. Even if you are not on a budget I think this lens is an excellent value and give you top notch pro results.
