Amazing lens and kit

The Sigma 60mm f/2.8 lens for my micro 4/3rds camera bodies is an excellent prime lens. I'm impressed with the quality design and build with an all metal mount and body. The bokeh is perfect for subject isolation and portraits at f/2.8. LensTip image resolution reports sharpness from center to edge with MTFs at a a brilliant level of 82.2 lpmm wide open at f/2.8 in the center and 62lpmm at the edge. I'm very pleased with the lens and highly recommend.

An absolute bargain optically when used on the A6000. Very difficult to mount and remove on my new A6500. A quibble is that the Sigma has a smooth full length rotating sleeve (for manual focusing) which offers no grip whatsoever in interchanging lenses.

Astonishing sharpness for such an inexpensive lens. Light weight and focuses quickly on my A6000 Sony. I'd give it 4 ½ stars if it were an option and 5-stars if it featured OSS as well; even at price jump.

Absolutely great lens! The clanking element inside while the lens is turned off can be slightly annoying, but the upside to the lens is nearly limitless. Buy one!

Small and convenient. Sometimes a little long indoors but I make it work. Optically, the lens is 10 of10 on the sharpness scale. For the cost, you can't go wrong.

My first portrait lens. Picture quality is fantastic and lens was affordable. Better pictures of my kids than I've ever taken. However, shooting with older Sony NEX6 and focus speed is inconsistent. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow and sometimes it freezes up and I have to cycle power on camera. This is why I gave average review. Physically the lens is larger than expected and won't fit case. Not a fault of the lens, but I feel is important to note.

Excellent sharpness. Eye AF is not as responsive/accurate on Sony Mirrorless but does work. Manual focus is a delight to use. I would be more inclined to own the Sony 50mm 1.8 if I had neither but as an addition to that lens it's awesome. Does produce warmer colors than Sony glass.

The Sigma 60mm f/2.8 lens is a gem. The image quality, all the way to the corners, is superb, especially considering the price. You have to accept the rattling noise when powered off, but other than that, it is a great lens. I prefer to use prime lenses whenever possible, and this one fits a needed point in my bag. Note that it is NOT a macro lens.

I purchased this lens based on all the very positive reviews, the cost and value for money arguments, and as a compliment to a Sony 28mm f2.0 prime. As of this writing, I have owned the lens about 2-1/2 weeks. My usage as been limited to "testing scenarios:" daytime snapshots of grandkids and a walkabout at a dam and park area near home. Thus far, I am very happy with the lens, would recommend it, and concur with many other reviewers that have commented on the lens's edge-to-edge sharpness at f2.8, overall image quality, and size and ease of use on the ASP-C Sony A6500. As also noted, the phase detection (PDAF) auto focus points are only at the center of the lens when used on a Sony APS-C camera. Some practice is required to set the auto focus features set up properly on the camera and keep your focus in just the center. If one's intention is to use this as a sports lens, I suspect the subject on some fast moving objects may be out of focus. Nonetheless, I have been relatively successful when I pan along with the grandkid's movement across the yard -- though this has undoubtedly benefitted from the A6500's IBIS features. I should also ad I have been pleased with the manual focus results on static objects when using focus peaking on the A6500. Finally, I have been very pleased with the detail shown when I crop in by 100%, and sometimes more.

This lens is super sharp, like my Nikon 85mm f/1.8 G. It's much smaller and lighter than I expected, and it fits my Sony A6000 perfectly. I definitely recommend this lens.

Excellent lens, great sharpness and bokeh. Great lens for portraits and landscapes. A little long for street work, but it is on my Panny G85 more often than not.

Just a day or so after this arrived, I got a call for a head shot and was so excited! This lens focused beautifully and captured the image beautifully!

Got this to go along with a Sony NEX used specifically for astrophotography. Stop down to f4 for corner-to-corner sharpness -- some smearing in the corners wide-open.

I was looking for a Micro Four Thirds lens for the Black Magic Pocket Camera. I wanted a lens that was built for the small body of the camera. The objective of the Pocket Camera was to keep it small. This lens has a lot to offer. Beside the great lens the Adorama Bundle kit that comes with it is great. I highly recommend it!

The lens is great! Heads up, the focus motor is loose until it's attached and camera is turned on. I was a little concerned when first taking out of packaging, but don't be alarmed, it is normal.

The lens is a very sharp and fast focusing. It is compact and well made. The focus distance of just under 20" is nice to keep from shadowing the subject. The issue that has been talked about a lot is the noise the lens makes when not in use is just not a factor for me at all. It seems as if you must almost bounce the lens around. If the noise is a problem don't bounce the lens around. I would recommend this lens.

Sharp. Rattle stops when it's mounted. Doesn't hunt focus any worse than anything else on a A6000. Very satisfied so far.

I bought this lens because I have the 30mm 2.8 and I absolutely love it. I also have the Sony 50mm 1.8 but I prefer the Sigma 60mm 2.8 because manual focus is much easier to use and I find the image to be sharper overall. I shoot portraits mostly so the 90mm equivalent is nicer than the 75mm equivalent from Sony's lens.

I really like the look of the portraits I've made with this, even under bad light. my only quibble i have is that the lens hood falls off if you breathe on it. too easy to lose!

REGINALD M.

2016-05-05T10:04:50

I have this lens currently mounted on the a6000, and it delivers tack sharp images even wide open. For an inexpensive lens, it should definitely be part of every alpha-owners' kit. Am anxious to see how it performs on the new a6300.

This is my second Sigma E-mount lens purchase, and I'm more than happy with it. Beautiful color rendition, quick focus on my Alpha 6000, and tack sharp images! Focus is very smooth in manual operation as well. It's beautifully packaged and comes with front and rear lens caps, hood, and ballistic nylon carrying case-- accessories some manufacturers make you pay extra for. Yes, there is a slight noise when you shake the lens vigorously but this has no effect whatsoever on lens operation or performance. Just buy this lens-- you will love it!

This lens rocks. Tack sharp, beautiful out-of-focus highlights (bokeh) light and easy to use. Just be aware that being so light you *really* have to concentrate on holding it still - especially on an A6000. Now if it were full frame ... but hey - it's a good price!

I needed something longer than the 12-32 zoom for my GM1 and the promised new compact Lumix 35-100 will only be available at the end of the year. On that basis, I figured that it would make more sense to go longer than the Olympus 45/1.8 and would make a better fit with the GM1 than the Olympus 75 (never mind the Lumix 35-100/2.8). I am happy with its rendering and works fine as a portrait lens, but I do miss the low-light ability of the 45 and its focal length is somewhat more awkward for street/landscape than the alternatives; you can get excellent results, but it requires careful planning of the shot (which makes it less suitable for travel photography, where you need to act fast and do not always have the option of getting multiple shots from different points or angles). When the compact 35-100 hits the market, I will probably get a 45/1.8 to complement my 20/1.7 for low light situations, and keep the Sigma as a special candid portrait lens; make no mistake: it does shine in that role, and it is a real bargain.

So, this may be the overall best m43 lens I have at present (it's a tough call between this and the Panasonic 20). This Sigma is sharp wide open and easy to use. Before purchasing I read the reviews which said this was a great value (I agree), wonderfully sharp (I agree), and that the smooth metal barrel makes it hard to manually focus (I'm not sure I completely agree there). It's easy enough to focus and AF works fairly fast and far faster than my 20mm Panasonic. I bought this after briefly trying the Olympus 45 which I didn't feel was long enough or enough of a value given its price (and Olympus put it on discount right after I bought it). I see Sigma put this lens on instant rebate right after I bought it too :-| but I still think given what I paid for it, it's a great option. If you're going to use this for portraits, it's a bit long indoors. Make sure you have space or just shoot head shots. It takes lovely portraits though. It's not a Macro or "Macro" so don't expect to get up and close and personal with this.
