Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma 50mm F2.8 EX Macro Lens for Nikon-AF Camera
Customer Review: Thumbs Up!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a dandy lens not only for macro photography, but for general purpose shots as well. I use this lens for shooting lightning at night and plan on trying it on fireworks this year. This lens will open up to 2.8 which places it in a relatively fast category. I have taken some very nice lightning images this spring with this lens attached to a Nikon D200. Although it's in the 75mm range given the 1.5 magnification factor of the Nikon DX APS sized sensor, it still does great work on lightning if the action is in a small area of coverage. But since I photograph storms that are several miles away, I still can get a large part of the action in view with this lens, and it is fast!! As far as the macro aspect, I've done various images of flowers and it's not difficult to fill the frame with a floral subject. Depth of field is quite shallow, but you expect this. Images are super sharp, and for the money, in my opinion, this lens is a steal!!
Description of Sigma 50mm F2.8 EX Macro Lens for Nikon-AF Camera
To maintain high optical performance from infinity to close-up 1:1 (life-size) macro photos without accessories, the Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX incorporates a floating element focusing system. Designed as a quick-focusing macro lens, the AF speed of 50mm, f/2.8 EX Macro is 1.4 times faster than previous 50mm f/2.8 macros. It features a non-rotating front lens group which makes it easier to work with polarizing filters and has a focus limiter (eg. Full Range infinity - 9.8 /25cm 9.1 - 7.4 /23 - 19cm). The Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX Macro lens also features the new deluxe EX external finish. A handy screw-type metal sunshade makes it easier to rotate a polarizing filter. Corresponding AF Mount: Sigma SA, Canon, Minolta, Nikon(D) and Pentax Includes 4 Year Service Plan (1 year international warranty plus 3 years extended warranty).
