"I wanted a good sharp macro lense and this is a great one. I wish I could have an easier focusing one or perhaps I need more practice but over all this is a great lens."

"This lens is one of the best I have own and for the price its a great deal. Macro works flawlessly and the 105mm is perfect for portrait work. I would recommend this lens to anyone needing a very good lens for a great price."

"I purchased this lense after reading a review and taking a look at the Sigma site. I am relatively new to Macro photography and didn't want to spend silly amounts of money on an area of photography I was currently only curious about. The 105mm range of this lense gives you a good enough distance from your subject to get a 1:1 of your given subject. From an amateur perspective this was a great Macro investment, the level of detail will totally amaze you if you have not managed to get good close-up pictures at macro level and it is a different world once you're there lol."
