I needed a macro lens for slide copying with my Canon Eos6D/1. After reading many favourable reviews, I settled on this 105mm macro. It's a nice lens, good image quality, easy to use , but perhaps a bit bulky (but no bulkier than comparable lenses). One slight gripe is that the OS system is a bit flakey and certainly slow. Mind you, the instruction booklet recommends using the lens on a tripod with the OS switched off! For my purposes that's good advice.

I am enjoying the Macro so far. It allows me to get close to flowers and insects to photograph the details. For some pictures you do not have to be actually close to the subject because of the reach of 105 mm. The lens so far appears quite sharp on my D850. There is a narrow focus area in some pictures, so be mindful of that. You can alleviate some of this by using a smaller f stop. I have been using the lens in manual focus mode so far to give me more control. So far so good.

This lens proved to be exactly what I wanted: a true macro lens that produces beautiful bright crisp images and didn't break the bank. It's opened up a whole new world for me, helping me see things I never saw before.Downsides are the same as mentioned by others: it's noisy, and the autofocus is temperamental, sometimes ramming back and forth against the stops and sometimes in a constant jitter, and when nothing is moving. The image stabilizer is also not as effective as advertised. For outdoor work on bright days, neither of those matter; but in the lab or in dim light, use manual focus and use a tripod. It was thrilling realizing I could “focus” by simply leaning by body in and out (rather than using the focus ring).

I’ve been using wide angle macro lenses for a while now and decided to get a mid focal length macro lens. I was deciding between a few different brands and decided to buy the sigma 105mm based on reviews.What can I say, this is a super lens. Picture quality is excellent with no noticeable distortion. Perfect focal length to photograph insects (especially when paired with a crop sensor camera as I use for macro).Build quality is solid for an all plastic lens but be cautious as it has no weather sealing. The lens is a little heavier than I expected but not unwieldy. This is due to the image stabilisation systems I presume. the focus ring feels smooth and precise (a must for a macro lens) with 3 different focus readings, (distance in metres, distance in feet and ...

I’ve only had this lens a week but can tell from the start how much quality you get with his lens. Great purchase that I do not regret.
This lens has been wonderful so far! Before purchasing, I did a fair amount of research about which macro lens to get, and this seemed to be the all-around winner in terms of affordability and quality. I use it while hiking, and it does a great job of getting those beautiful close-up shots of flowers, plants, insects, etc. The focus is always incredibly sharp. I haven't been disappointed. A downside is that it is quite heavy, especially for hiking, but that's to be expected. It was well-packaged in its own case, and included 2 lens hoods.
I have owned this lens for about 2 weeks now. I was torn between getting a prime telephoto lens for wildlife and a macro lens for the smaller things in nature. I ultimately chose to go macro since most of my photography interests lie in this genre.Once I decided on a macro, I had to decide between this and the Nikon branded offering. After researching for over a week about which was better, I came to the conclusion that both were almost even in terms of image produced. That left only one clear and deciding factor...price.I ultimately went with a lens that could give me the same results for almost half the price. It has not disappointed me yet. This lens has a solid premium build quality, very responsive focus (for a macro lens), and is full of useful features ... MoreI have owned this lens for about 2 weeks now.

This lens has a solid premium build quality, very responsive focus (for a macro lens), and is full of useful features like a 3 setting focus selector. The focus selector will allow you to adjust the focus range to the shooting conditions which helps with the typical long focus throw that macro lenses are known for. There is also a dedicated 3 position OS selector that allows you to switch between no OS or 2 different stabilization modes.I use this lens with my Nikon Z6 via the FX adapter. There are no issues or reduced features when using this lens adapted to the Z6, everything functions fully. I attached some recent pics I've taken to show what this lens can produce. Every shot was taken handheld. I'm not a pro but I've been a photography enthusiast for over 10 years and have as much experience shooting with a macro lens.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone interested in quality macro photography.
I attached this lens to a Canon EOS 5DS R. You could hear the lenses moving within the barrel in constant autofocus mode or when you half-press the shutter release. That did not distract me from taking photos. I like that the lens length remains unchanged, as no moving parts are seen externally. Lenses adjust within the barrel when focusing. So I could be sure the lens front would not hit my subject when focusing. Your personal experience and patience pay off with the stability features built into the lens, helping you to take some impressive shots. I like this lens.
Had this lens not been sold for $500 off list, I would have skipped it. But for the discounted price, I can say it's money well spent.I'm using this on my Nikon Z6 body mostly (along with the FTZ adapter), where it autofocuses adequately and quickly, unless I'mat macro distances. Once I get close, the autofocus has a hard time finding the subject, even when the focus limiter is engaged. I find myself manually focusing to get my subject clear then engaging the autofocus to stay locked.The contrast, resolving power, sharpness and color are impressive. Zero complaints about image quality.The vibration reduction is noisy and sounds like a malfunction (which I've read is normal for this lens). Since the Z6 has IBIS, I don't use the IS on the lens unless I'm using a ... MoreHad this lens not been sold for $500 off list, I would have skipped it.

At minimum focus distance you will be at f/5.6. If your subject is any closer than infinity you'll be shooting at f/3.0.Beware.
first time using this lens for a sweet 16 shoot. Horrible performance - lens got stuck multiple times while trying to shoot - Glad that I didn't use it as my primary lens. Using 5D MarkIII body this lens got stuck and refused to work. Had to remove battery to reset. Stuck with this new lens. Even the focus was misbehaving - pls note was using canon flash 600 EX II along with a continuous backup light to ensure every one was properly lighted. Shooting Aperture 2.8, ISO 500, 1/160 shutter speed with ETTL - I always use negative flash compensation to under expose.Anyone else face similar issues with this lens.
My lens came very well packed in it's own padded lens carry case. Its a large case with a strap for holding it and a loop for fastening to a belt. I was impressed that the lens includes two hoods, one for full frame and the other for the APC sensor cameras (which is a smaller frame chip). This means the lens suits both full frame camera's and APC sensor types. My primary camera is a full frame Nikon D610 but my backup camera is also a Nikon and with a APC sensor. So I can use the lens on both bodies simply by fitting the correct hood. I have trialed the similar Nikon 105mm Macro and it was very nice to use. But around twice the price of the SIGMA. I have read very good reviews of the SIGMA 105mm Macro and already own the second generation SIGMA 12-24mm ultra wide ... MoreMy lens came very well packed in it's own padded lens carry case.

I have read very good reviews of the SIGMA 105mm Macro and already own the second generation SIGMA 12-24mm ultra wide zoom which is fantastic. My first goes with the SIGMA 105mm were a little clumsy as I tried to hand hold the camera and shoot various objects around the garden. I found the autofocus went off into infinity and eventually back as it searched for the correct sharpness. I later realized I can set the distance the autofocus will go with a slide switch on the side. So selecting the shortest focusing distance was best for Macro rather than short to infinity. My first results were really good but I realized looking at theimages that the depth of field is very shallow and it is easy when hand holding to accidently focus on something slight in front or behind the important detail and end up with a second rate image. So, that means for Macro I will be committed to using a tripod and experimenting with f stops and associated depth of field. Particularly where flowers are concerned. I have read that you can fit the camera to a sliding indexed scale and take a series of images with the focus gradually shifted from the foreground of the image to the rear then stack it all in software which bends the sharp images together quite advanced sounding but I'm keen to investigate that once I master using the lens as is. It would have been nice to have the brand name lens to suit my camera but I am not a professional and other reviews I have read of the SIGMA convinced my to buy one, although its early yet I do not regret my purchase. I think I will as I get more used to using it in various setups get more than my moneys worth. If you are interested in Macro photography with a DSLR either full frame of APC sensor seriously consider the SIGMA 105mm Macro.
