This lens is a lot of fun on Sigma SD15. You can get really close to your subject. Manual focusing is a bit difficult for far away subjects, but that's because i bought the lens used and with malfunctioning AF. Sharp enough already at f2.8, you can go beyond that if the available light allows, taking into account this focal length and absence of vibration reduction. Recommended item.

Just a great macro lens. All 3 Sigmas are, 50mm and 180mm, too. Every bit as good at Tamron or EOS. With filters, a great portrait lens too (it is TOO sharp for many portrait types). The autofocus can be slow when you greatly change object distances, but this is true of all 1:1 macro lenses. The rewards of the lens are the quality of the images - and this lens is GREAT.
