Super Multi Layer (SML) coating reduces the ghost caused by reflections from the surface of digital image sensors. Features a compact lens design with an overall length of just 95mm. Minimum aperture of F45 provides greater depth of field (F45 for Sigma, Canon and Konica Minolta mounts and F32 for Nikon and Pentax mounts). A screw-in lens hood for convenient use of circular polarizing filters. Less
This medium telephoto Micro lens is ideal for extreme close-up and portrait work with greater working distances and AF from infinity to life-size (1:1)

Great lens, fantastic pictures!

by occnaturegirl , Jun 19, 2006
Pros: This is a pretty lens with amazing results.
Cons: The hood is not a style I'm used to, but I can deal with this.
The Bottom Line: Buy this lens. I am a fan of Sigma and this 105mm F2.8 lens reinforces my loyalty.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I just bought this lens and WOW! The lens itself has a nice black matte finish and a durable, heavy-enough feel to it. The pictures (subject: flowers) it takes mounted to my Nikon D70 are fantastic so far. The colors are brilliant, the details are...

Go, Go Gadget Lens!

by sailingshot , May 13, 2006

Nature photographer's dream!

by dpritchard69 , Apr 18, 2008
Pros: Solid build quality sharp edge-to-edge backgrounds smooth Constant barrel length Fast, silent focus.
Cons: expensive older model 105mm sharper calculating DOF can be confusing quite heavy
The Bottom Line: If you shoot wildlife at close quarters, this lens is perfect.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: For the field photographer, this lens is a dream come true. Most of my macro photography features moving subjects, such as insects and flowers at high magnification. It's rare to find a lens that can handle auto-focus when working at this level, but...
