Product Description

Product description

The Sigma 257-306 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro lens for Canon SLR mount is very suitable for taking pictures in nature, while it uses natural light conditions or flash. The greater working distance of this lens is very advantageous when taking the picture of a flower among the branches or an insect. The narrow angle of view is a great aid for simplifying backgrounds and shallow depth of field makes it easier to handle the composition. This lens would have an equivalent field of view of a 178mm telephoto macro lens on a digital SLR camera. This new medium telephoto macro lens employs a new design concept for digital SLR cameras. Its power layout produces an excellent optical performance and also reduces flare and ghost. This lens is designed to reduce the influence of harmful light caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. A screw-in hood is included, for convenient use of circular polarizing filters. It is possible to attach a 77mm filter in front of the lens hood. This lens also incorporates a Dual Focus (DF) system that is designed to make the lens easy to hold during auto focusing. The large focus ring offers smooth and positive action whilst focusing manually. Weight - 16.1 ounces (457 grams)

Optimized for Canon digital SLR cameras but also compatible with film SLR cameras, the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 medium telephoto lens allows a greater working distance between the lens and the subject, helping it excel in all shooting ranges. The increased working distance of the lens is ideal when taking the picture of a flower among several branches, or an insect on a leaf. The narrow angle of view helps simplify the background, while the shallow depth of field makes it easier to handle the composition. The lens also offers a super multi coating that reduces the flare and ghosting that tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras, helping create crisper, sharper photos. And thanks to the Dual Focus (DF) system, the lens is easy to hold during autofocusing, but also offers smooth and positive action should you choose to focus manually on images. Other features include a minimum aperture of f/45, a screw-in lens hood that supports the use of circular polarizing filters, and a minimum focusing distance of 12.3 inches. Offering a 35mm equivalent field of view of 178mm on a digital SLR camera, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

Sigma Lens Review

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2009

Verified Purchase

This item was received on March 2nd in good condition. After two weeks of use, however, the autofocus was unable to focus on any object consistently. It would sometimes be able to do so and other times it could not. Mostly this seems to occur with the lens is extended and the object to focus on requires the lens to retract. The retraction motor seems week and unable to pull the lens back in all the way. However, this could be because the lens "thinks" it is focused and stops the focus movement. I cannot tell which. I will be sending this one back.

We are, however, pleased with the Signma lens in general. We use it a great deal and have two camera so equipped for our business.

Wonderful addition to SLR photography!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2007

The sigma 105 macro lens is a great way to explore new worlds with macro photography. I am using this lens with my 300D Digital Rebel and the results are fantastic. Now, small areas in my backyard and local parks offer unlimited photo opportunities. I would, however, offer several tips for beginners with macro photography. First, and foremost buy and use a tripod. With many subjects, depth of field is critical and any movement whatsoever will be evident in your images. Second, if your camera can allow it, use mirror lock-up and a remote release to prevent movement. Third, have plenty of patience! Expect to take a lot of images to come up with keepers. No big deal for digital cameras, and don't be afraid to experiment.

Here is a fun project that I have been using with this lens courtesy of my high school photography teacher:

Take a nail and tie a 10 ft. piece of string to it. Then, as you are walking along a trail or path, randomly stick the nail in the ground. You now have a circle with a 10 ft. radius. Challenge yourself to shoot 10, 20, 50 or even 100 images within that radius. It will certainly cause you to look, and more importantly see differently.

This purchase is perhaps the best piece of equipment that has helped my photography.

Excellent macro lens for dentistry

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2007

Verified Purchase

I have employed my Rebel XT digital SLR into my dental office. I upgraded to the Rebel XTi (10 mpixels) for home. I purchased the Sigma ring flash with a Sigma macro lens for the Canon SLR family. If you look at the Lester Dine website this is basically what they sell for a few hundreds dollars more.

I compared the ring flash and lens with the ones offered by Canon and felt that it was worth saving $300 by purchasing the Sigma combo.

The macro lens/ring flash work well for dental purposes. After a little experimentation I discovered that I get the best images by using the aperature priority setting. All settings are used with ISO 400 speed. I set the aperature at 14-16 for intraoral shots. This gives the best depth of field. I also use the operatory light for intraoral shots. I set the aperature to 6 for full face shots.

I use autofocus but set the ratio to 1:2 to 1:3 for intraoral shots. This keeps the autofocus from "hunting". I frame the shot by moving towards the subject. Once I get close to the image that I like I use the autofocus to get the final focus for the picture.

Picture quality are good but make sure to have warranty

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2008

I bought this lens in December 2007 and just start to use it from this March. The picture quality is good but needs a lot of light and contrast for the AF to work.
In June, during an outing, one of the element (glass) fell out of it's holding socket and the lens would not retract to below 1:3.
Since I bought this lens in gray market, so that there's no warranty. I just open the lens and fix it myself, works fine.
However, the story did not end there. Just yesterday, during some test shots at home, the lens would not focus and the motor is trying but could not move. I switch to Manual but the focusing ring would not stay at M mode and I can turn the ring freely and it won't adjust the focus (in AF mode, the ring supposed to have resistence from the motor gear and you should not try to adjust manually).
If you are thinking of buying this lens, make sure to buy it with warranty or better yet extended warranty.

Excellent portrait lens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2009

Verified Purchase

Although this lens is marketed primarily as a Macro lens.I purchased this lens for my Canon EOS 450D for use as a portrait lens.The results are fantastic.I never used a lens whose aperture was wider than f3.5,the difference in depth of field at f2.8 105mm is incredible..Crystal clear images are obtained at both the lower end and higher end of the aperture range.When using the AF on my camera,I found you need to switch to MF in order to obtain pin sharp images.I would definitely recommend this lens.

Reviewed in Germany on December 3, 2009

... ich hab wohl leider auch ein nicht ganz so einwandfreies Exemplar erhalten.
Das Objektiv selbst ist supergut und absolut hochwertig verarbeitet und im Gegensatz zu Canon ist auch hier die Geli und ein Köcher im Lieferumfang enthalten.
Das Makrofotografie nichts für diejenigen ist, die einfach draufschrauben und loslegen wollen, dürfte wohl klar sein.
Die Bilder, die ich mit dem Sigma 105mm an meiner EOS40D bekomme sind auch superscharf und einwandfrei, aber was IMHO nicht in Ordnung ist (zumindest bei meinem Exemplar) betrifft den Autofocus:

- er trifft nicht, oder zumindest nur so ungefähr. Manuelle Scharfstellung war unabdingbar. Aber schließlich hab ich ein Objektiv mit Autofocus gekauft und kein rein manuelles.
- der AF ist meiner Meinung nach sehr langsam, was für Makroobjekte die nicht weglaufen oder -fliegen egal ist.
- der AF ist im Vergleich zu meinen anderen (zum Teil auch Sigma) Objektiven sehr laut. War mir im ersten Moment nicht sicher, ob ich nicht meinen Makita-Bohrschrauber in der Hand halte.

Habe das Objektiv an Amazon zurückgeschickt und werde es dann mit dem Canon 100mm Makro versuchen.

Bildqualität TOP - Super Objektiv - Nur Serienstreuung achten

Reviewed in Germany on May 28, 2010

Ich habe Macroaufnahmen mit einem Canon EOS 5DMkII gemacht und bin hoch zufrieden, allerdings hatte ich ein Modell mit der Seriennummer 103*****. Leider funktiniert der Autofocus nicht. Ich habe trotzdem mit manuelle Focus weiter fotografiert und bin mit der Qualität der Bildern sehr zufrieden. Schade, dass ich das Objektiv zurück schicken musste. Allerdings würde ich es immer wieder kaufen! Nicht alle Geräte sind defekt! Deswegen der Punktabzug...

Pros:
+ Preis
+ Bildqualität
Cons:
- Serienstreuung
- Objektivdeckel kann man nicht benutzen wenn die Sonnenblende drauf ist
