"A wonderful lens at an unbelievably wide end of the zoom range. Sharp and compact. Hold it and fall in love.REALLY WIDE AND REALLY SHARP but wide open is only f/4 at bestPros:Snappy, contrasty, well made, well designed.Cons:Slow at maximum aperture."

""I mainly use this lens for macro photography, being flowers and insects my main targets. I reckon this lens can also be great for close portraits (and not so close as well) and cuisine, although that's not something I do everyday.I still have a rocking Zuiko Micro 50mm f/3.5 for an Olympus OM-1 and the Sigma is a fairly good competitor.The only thing you may not like is how close the front element gets to the subject when doing a 1:1 macro: barely an inch, so there is little room for light to get in.And one thing you may love is that despite being a lens for digital cameras, it is also designed to work with film cameras, so it comes with a nice aperture ring (at least the one for Nikon) which gives you additional control. I love that.[...]" "
