SIGMA 180 mm f/2.8 APO EX DSG HSM Macro Lens - for Nikon

Bought this 70-200 as the equivalent Nikkor is overpriced. I have to say in all comparisons this lens performs extremely well, sharp fast and well made. The only slight issue maybe that it is heavy my partner uses it and if prolonged shooting her...

Great lens

Good picture quality, image stabilization works fine. 2.8 overal aperture is good. I like this lens despite its cons.

- Too heavy. With the camera frame the overal weight is just too much - focusing is very loud. This is a no go for video recording. External mic is a must with this lens.

Sigma lenses are great build quality and easy to use.

Small lens to carry. Great to use sharp pictures.

Focus ring moves when in use .

Great price . Great pics.

No bad points. Does what it says

very quick multi-point auto focus vert good bokeh

smooth non-grip manual focus ring

Cracking good value, very sharp, sturdy and works a charm on my D7200. If you want a great macro/portrait lense but not the hefty price tag linked to Nikon/Canon etc., then the Sigma is the best choice.

It's heavy and handheld takes practise. Yes, you can handhold for macro.

Great image quality, good range of zoom, a perfect all purpose holiday and every day lens.

Could be a little lighter

Great depth of field, sharp images.

there's a slight rattle when camera is off.
