Very disappointed

By Dmitry

from Baltimore, USA on 6/12/2008

Pros:

Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Rugged

Cons:

Blurry Focus, Heavy

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My sample was not focusing correctly on Nikon AF bodies (F5, D300). Focus was just really off.
It is very built, heavy, metal.
On an FM2, the manual focus allowed for relatively sharp pictures at f1.8. Not amazing, but OK for price paid.
I returned mine and do not know if will try another anytime soon.

Great Quality at an Excellent Price!

This is a very good lens regardless of price. Sharp focus, very little light fall off at any focal length, very versitle and produces great bokeh! If it is an EX lens...especially a Macro lens...think Sigma. All day over Nikon!

Great Lens

By Noel from San Jose, CA on 10/30/2006

Pros:

Clear Glass, Easily Accessible Controls, Easily Mounted

Cons:

Dodgy manual focus

Best Uses:

Low light night, Photojournalism, Travel

Photo quality is excellent. Pictures are sharp and have great color. This is my indoor/low light/night lens.

I just thought I busted my lens when the focusing mechanism was moving forward a bit. I just realized that this was how Sigma designs its manual focus - slide the lens by a few mm's. I'd rather have a switch AF/MF.
