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
Highly recommended to me by a trusted professional photographer and friend. I wanted to purchase the best quality lens for shooting close up music videos of performers. This was the perfect lens for the task and the quality exceeded my expectations both in build and video capture! LOVE IT!

This is a great lens for the price and sharp! I have not used a Nikon 24-70mm but I don’t need to after owning this. Maybe when I am making more money I’ll check out the Nikon. Until then this will be just fine. It is a bit heavy and I wish it had a 77mm thread instead of 82mm. I think it is possible to achieve exceptional results with this lens. It suffers a bit of vignetting in the corners and barrel distortion but any problem like that is easily fixed when processing the RAW file. I’m sure the Nikon probably edges it out in overall edge-to-edge sharpness but I’m happy with what I can capture with this lens, with money to spare for filters and accident coverage.

I purchased this lens for my Full Frame Nikon D600, to use for portraits, as it was half the price of the Nikkor lens. This lens is tack sharp, has beautiful Bokeh, and a decent focal range. My only negative would be that it has some weird distortion sometimes when shooting something with straight lines, but it could be just the way I'm shooting and has not caused any issue. Overall I am very pleased with this lens, it takes amazing pictures with my D600.
Excellent zoom lens for the price. A bit soft on focus below 4.0, but crisp from 5.6 up. Good weight and well balanced.
