  This lens is wonderful! It is easy to use and focuses beautifully. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in good macro and portrait photography.

  Once again, I labored over the decision to purchase a Nikon lens or a Sigma (I have the Sigma 10-20mm and the new 120-400mm lens). I couldn't justify the extra cost of the Nikon ($300 plus) and chose to order the Sigma. From the very first shots I was extremely pleased. I took a few pictures of a simple flower by my mailbox. The results were amazing. The images were very sharp,the background was pleasantly out of focus, and the colors were absolutely beautiful. I was impressed enough to decide that several of these were good enough to frame and display in my home. I would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to do close-up photography.

  I've been using this lens for the past 6 months with my Nikon D50. I had previous experiences with another macro lens, the Nikon Micro 60mm borrowed from a friend. I'm not a professional photographer, but I can tell that the Sigma 105 lens is very good: solid build, sharp image, fast and silent autofocus. In my experience the Nikon Micro 60mm is slightly sharper, has a slightly more vibrant rendition of colours (red in particular), and has an heftier built. Anyway I preferred the Sigma 105 for its focal length that suits better my needs and for its very competitive price.

• Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for my Nikon D80 | Rating: | Date: 2008-05-04

  I bought this Sigma Macro lens along with the Sigma ring flash as a matched set. I am glad I did. Sigma has a good reputation and this lens proofs it. Great price and great quality. This macro lens works perfect, the zoom and focus work great on any close subject, I am truly impressed with the photos it produces. It works perfectly with my Nikon D80 camera.

  Originally I didn't want to stray from Nikon products, but Sigma definitely has my attention. This is an excellent lens in both build quality and function. It works flawlessly on my Nikon D40, metering perfectly and in addition, even though it's manual focus on my camera, it is spot on with the auto-focus indicator light (lower left corner of view finder). I highly recommend this lens to anyone who is looking to get into macro! Don't be scared if you're a Nikon D40 user, I was at first, and now I'm hooked on this lens! Do yourself a favor and buy one!
