My first macro lens, and I am still a complete macro beginner. I do like this lens though. It's very fast and clear. It seems well made and produces good results. I was a little worried about buying a Sigma, but this and the 150 f2.8 macros have both been very well reviewed on various sites, and this was about £280 and quite affordable, so I thought I would try. I am happy with the lens, although not yet really used to macro photography. I have found this lens is a good lens for portraits too, and that makes the f2.8 useful.

Most of these pictures were taken with the lens on my 350D, but I have recently been impressed with the results on a 5D. I only otherwise use L lenses or the Canon 50mm f1.4 on my 5D and this lens stands up to them. The last few pics of rquipment are taken with this lens on the 5D, execpt of course the close up of the 5D which is taken on the 350D.
