Product description

Style Name:Canon Digital SLRs

Product Description

Built to Sigma's professional EX standards, this optically stabilised macro lens is designed to provide superior image and build quality. A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical path to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration and provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 Macro.

SLD glass and Super Multi Layer Coating

Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction of all types of aberrations and the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. This lens has superior peripheral brightness and provides sharp, high contrast images even at the maximum apertures.

Optical Stabiliser

Equipped with Sigma's proprietary OS (Optical Stabiliser) function, this lens offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible.

F2.8 large aperture tele-macro lens.

Tele macro lenses have a greater working distance. It is possible to enjoy Macro photography, even when you are far from subject. This enables you to capture the small animals and insects without disturbing them. Very narrow depth-of-field allows selective focusing and less distracting backgrounds. Large aperture of F2.8 is ideal for sports, action and indoor photography.

Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) with full time manual focus override.

The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed autofocus as well as full-time manual focus capability.

Floating Focusing System produces excellent optical performance.

A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical system to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration. Since focusing does not change its overall length, this lens is easy to hold and use.

Rounded 9 blade aperture ring.

This lens has a rounded 9 blade diaphragm creating a smooth blur to the out of focus areas of the image. It is also possible to use this lens with Sigma's optional APO Tele Converters.

Box Contains

150mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM
Lens Hood
Fitted Padded Case
Front and Rear Caps

Autofocusing in the right place takes some practice but capable of really sharp shots

14 July 2016

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

This is a brilliant lens for photographing insects and other invertebrates. I found that the lens is quite slow at times to autofocus, and often I have to move the focus wheel myself to "help" the AF find the subject, but shooting in AF-C and altering the focal range using the button on the side of the lens lessened this problem. I have been shooting entirely handheld which can have an effect on this especially in windy conditions. The lens itself feels very well-built, sturdy and surprisingly heavy. The mount ring is very easy to remove, so I was able to lower the weight a little by taking it off. It is about the same size as the Nikkor 55-300mm VRII lens. Images for the most part are razor sharp, sharper than any other lens I own. It comes with two lens hoods which you can use individually or screw together for one very long lens hood. It also comes with a very well-padded lens bag which was honestly a complete surprise to me. Anyone who has bought Nikon lenses knows that you are lucky if the lens you get doesn't come with a rubbish, flimsy pouch that doesn't offer much in the way of protection. So A+ for Sigma on that one!

I bought this lens because I keep tarantulas and wanted to take better photos of them, and I'm also an artist and wanted to take my own reference photos to draw more insects. All in all I would say that this lens was definitely worth the investment. It takes a while to get familiar with though, so if you've been using it for a few days and are still not sure, push on through and keep practicing, you will learn to love this lens :)

Top quality and possibly best value out there - even on D800!

23 February 2014

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

Pros:
- Sharp from corner to corner, even on my D800. WIDE OPEN!
- Virtually no chromatic aberration (BOTH longitudinal and lateral) - I have not seen any CA at all, even at 100% magnification
- Contrasty and good colour rendition
- Excellent value, compared to similar lenses by Nikon / Canon / Tamron
- Double up as an excellent PORTRAIT lens! Bokeh is reasonably smooth but of course it's not Carl Zeiss 135mm f2 so manage your expectation. :)
- 3-level focus limiter (Full, Infinity-0.53, 0.53-0.38). I call them "Slow", "Typical usage" and "Macro" respectively.
- Excellent build, tripod mount is removable when the lens is on the camera body (unlike some other Sigma lenses)
- Excellent working distance for macro work. If you want to take pictures of bugs, don't bother with anything shorter.
- OS is useful even at macro distance (although less effective)
- Full time focus override - excellent to pair with "AF-ON autofocus" (google it if you don't know what it is)
- Include a fitted foam carrying case (not the cheapo "bags" from Nikon, for example)
- I estimate that the background blurriness of this lens is about the same as or more than the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 at 200mm f/2.8 for typical portrait focusing distances. This is probably due to the Nikon 70-200 "focus breathing" - sort of like the effective f number (see below) but applying to focal length, except that you don't get to see the effective focal length.

Cons:
- It's unclear if the lens is weather-sealed.
- It's heavy. It does balance well on the D800 so you don't feel the weight as much (vs. for example a front-heavy set up)
- AF is relatively slow (even with limiter). It's not as slow as screw-driven but it's not Canon/Nikon level - probably because Sigma reverse-engineered the AF from Nikon/Canon.
- It's not Nikon or Canon branded.
- If you use NIkon cameras, the f number displayed is EFFECTIVE f number which can be larger (i.e. smaller aperture) than f2.8 for close distance. Even at head-and-shoulder portrait distance, the smallest f number is still f/3.0. The same thing applies in Canon cameras, just that Canon cameras always display nominal f number (i.e. the one on the aperture ring).

Tips:
- Turn OS off if you don't need it (this applies to any lens with image stabilisation, not just this lens)
- Turn the tripod collar 90 degrees if you don't need to use it. It serves as a nice thumb rest for portrait shooting.
- Don't let (old school) people tell you that macro lenses cannot be used for portrait because they are "too sharp". You can easily soften the pics in post-processing.

Seems like a great lens at a very reasonable price

Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro EX DG OS Lens for Nikon
Seems like a great lens at a very reasonable price. Some users have commented that the AF is slow and the OS is noisy, but having given my lens a pretty varied workout so far I am happy with both features and image quality is excellent. Sigma include a functional lens hood, complete with extension for DX users, an easily removable tripod mount, and one of their excellent cases.

Good lens but defevtice one received.

30 October 2018

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

Unfortunately i received a aperture complaint defective product. Aperture will change from 2.8 to f4 and sometimes 3.2 and stuck there. We cant predict when it will be go back to 2.8 again. It required light to get the focusing and hard to use inside and focusing is relatively slow. Lens built quality is okay and item received in a box which is not sealed but all papers and warranty card was there. My previous sigma lens came in a box with seal on the box to mark its not opened already.

As a bonus I find it very useful for taking candid pictures of grandchildren

28 June 2016

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

I bought this lens to replace a Sigma 105 mm macro. The 150 mm gives me more reach, important when photographing insects in the wild. As a bonus I find it very useful for taking candid pictures of grandchildren. With a 1.4x Sigma teleconverter attached to a Nikon 7100 it becomes a very effective 315mm prime lens. The only drawback is that the autofocus is a bit slow with the teleconverter. However, manual focussing works perfectly well for static or slow-moving subjects.

This is a good lens for photographing insects and other invertebrates

4 December 2017

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

This is a good lens for photographing insects and other invertebrates, Excellent working distance for macro work. Autofocus works very well as dose the OS ,I use a mono pod for most of my photos, I found the lens a little heavy but it has a good balance on my Nikon camera. Taking Pictures of very small moths and Caterpillars some as small as 4mm needs a good lens and I find this lens Excellent.

Sigma 150mm f2.8 APO Macro EX DG OS HSM

23 May 2013

Style: Nikon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

This is an excellent lens which bridges the gap between 105mm and 200mm macro lenses. I find this focal length gives a good working distance and the lens shows virtually no distortions.

Great lens for natural world close ups.

20 August 2017

Style: Canon Digital SLRsVerified Purchase

Amazing macro lens, enables stunning close up images. I've managed to get some incredible close up images of plants and very small insects such as aphids. This kind of photography gets very addictive as it opens up a whole new world due to the level of detail that you didn't know existed. Although pricey it was money very well spent.
