Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG

Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG: Verdict

This 50mm macro from Sigma is a very capable lens for the price and should make a good introduction to macro photography, especailly for those on a budget.

The quality it is able to produce when stopped down is excellent, and although it doesn't have many of the bells and whistles of more expensive lenses, such as image stabilisation or silent focusing, with care it can still take great pictures.

Good value for money
