Title: Fantastic lens
Review: This is my first Sigma lens but third overall Macro lens. I want to have a longer shooting range from nervous critters, but yet, can't justify spending $1,800 on the Nikkor 200mm f4 macro. I use this to take macro shots as well as portrait shot.The pros are1.) Excellence build quality - wolid feel in my hands.2.) The image quality if fantastic, very sharp, and wonderful smooth DOF when open it all the way up, and unbelievaly beautiful colour.3.) At f2.8, it is fast even in a low light condition.4.) Good for both portrait and macro.5.) Affordable value for money lensFor me, the two cons are: -1.) Heavy2.) No VRDue to the two cons above, the image can become blurry easily, at a lower speed. I "solve" the problem by using a monopod to support the weight and to reduce the up-down movements which caused the blurness.I'm glad that I made the decision to buy this lens. It is one of my favourites along side the Nikkor 35mm f1.8.
