Sigma 180mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens Review

Sigma 180mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS HSM Verdict

Although the price may seem on the high side for a lens from a third party manufacturer when compared to the prices of lenses from Canon and Nikon. If the excellent optical quality and features such as the fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, optical stabilisation and fast, silent autofocus are taken into account, then this lens looks like it may be worth the premium.

Those serious about macro photography, using a telephoto focal length to increase the working distance will love this lens. It's sharp, well built and very well featured.

	The Sigma 180mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM lens combines superb sharpness, good build quality and fast focusing.
