Great Lens!2010-03-14
I have been greatly pleased with this purchase, this is a great lens fast acting in auto focus. Had Sigma lenses back in the film days of photography, glad to know they're still great in the digital age.
OK,It's Not a Nikon, But the Glass is Good!2010-03-03
If you're in the same financial position as I am, you probably gulp when checking out the prices of OEM lenses. Sigma offers a really good alternative. This particular lens is as unwieldy as it's competitors, but gives good quality photos. The macro feature (read the instructions before using!) is a pretty neat bonus, too. Check out the Sigma line if your wallet is not bulging with greenbacks.
For beginners like me, it's does the job.2010-02-28
Okay, i'm on a budget and i'm a beginner. This does the job for me. The quality of this glass is really good and it does exceptionally well with macro shots.

It also produces great Bokeh.

But if you're taking macro shots of objects that are a few inches away, this isn't for you.
(Try getting sigma/canon 50mm and get an extension tube or buy a more expensive Macro lens if you have the moolah.)

This lens is really affordable and a must for semi beginner like me.

Have had to have it repaired, not sure why, wish we would have checked Consumer reports on this item, we may have made a different choice of a lens.
Well worth the money.2009-12-30
I bought this lens as a birthday gift for my wife. We use it with our Canon Digital Rebel XT and it works perfectly. The lens has a very good picture quality and is very easy to attach/remove from the camera. Of course, it comes with lens covers for both ends of the lens and they are very good quality covers; actually, IMO, better than the lens covers that our Canon lens came with. They stay on well and provide great protection for traveling.

The lens has a switch on it to go from normal photography to macro shots. Overall, I was impressed with the quality and ease of use with macro photos with this lens. It is easy to take good quality macro shots with this lens (and trust me, I'm a beginner!).

Overall, I am very well pleased with this lens and think you will be too!
