Pros: Sharpness, build quality, presence of collar

Cons: Some difficulties with autofocus in low light

Opinion: I replaced my 105mm F2.8 Nikkor lens with this for the need to have a longer focal to eliminate the disturbing objects in the background, and especially because the collar from macro tripod is extremely convenient and useful, and allows to keep the stability that it has in the horizontal shutter (besides the fact that the tilting of the screen D500 is adjustable in one direction only). The weight is increased by a few pounds compared to where optical earlier I never complained, despite some of the stabilizer noise, not really performing. The build quality is impeccable, once the unseemly problem collar solved that impacted on 'autofocus of the first series, and the sharpness is good even at open aperture; if you are playing with Nikkor those intermediates, while the better I feel closed diaphragm and above all less suffering of chromatic aberrations. Also good color rendering. They went out of the known 180 mm with collar production, it remains the only capable optical -credo-to give a macro photographer / close-up tripod with the guarantee of a certain stability on the field, as well as providing a long in contrast to 'recent release of the medium-telephoto focal many as the current Tamron 90mm, or 100mm Zeiss 1 :2.

Pros: Construction, Durability, great performance in a compact copro, Details, Glamor in its physicality

Cons: Do not place or see no problem in previous reviews but I noticed that ... in a certain low light conditions is hard to focus

Opinion: Rest fascinated by its solidity and from its well-made construction. I made some shots and I was surprised the picture quality as well as detailed and great blur, very muffled and at the same time soft, knowing him well and making us believe their approach to get us out of the beautiful portrait photos, but now maybe having .. .dico ... maybe some macro photos I can ... so much for. I was torn between 85 and 150 at the end I am decided and took the 150, to be noted NIKON also because 85 1.8 - 60 1.8 and 50 g f1.4 Nikon suffer too much of chromatic aberrations instead the sigma occurs very precise on this point. My has no manufacturing defect, especially the factor ring ..funziona perfectly and for the moment for what I want in the hands highly recommend it.

Pros: Sharpness, focus, stabilized

Cons: a bit 'heavy, but I think it is normal for the type of optical

Opinion: It works very well, fast and quiet in focus. After reading the other reviews, they say, has problems with the ring, I wanted to try again to focheggiare.rnNon I detected none of the focus lock with the ring rather blocked, flows smoothly and accurately. E 'can use teleconverters, 2x and 1.4x modornmanuale automatically but with limitations. The resulting image is still very well defined .rnrnrn

Pros: Sharpness, focus, stabilized, construction and solidity.

Cons: The weight but only during transport.

Opinion: Purchased after passing through FF I took it for macro (before I had 60 micro Nikon APS-C) but also for portraits. I must say that I FULLY satisfied with both situations. And 'a particular lens, with its own character, and the more you know and the more you can take advantage of. Always very accurate, with a focus very pleasant and effective stabilization. The AF is fast and quiet. Having bought recently I have solved the problem ring. To me no defect. The only drawback (but only for transportation, then the use is a pro) is that the stock market cluttered and weighs but if not it would be another lens then, having chosen, hate me his weight. Highly recommended.

Pros: Sharp, well built (if it does not consider the problem of the ring for tripod), stabilizer useful if you do not need to get too close to the subject. I find it very pleasant blur.

Cons: Problem lock the focus (even manual) using the ring to the tripod.

Opinion: The problem experienced by some using the ring for the tripod I've noticed, too, even squeezing it very little. If you can help it do not use it, the lens is not that heavy, if you have a good tripod head you can avoid it. Apart from this problem the lens is great and I'm using it with great satisfaction on the D800. Excellent sharpness, stabilization useful (if you're not too close to the subject), af precise and adjustable in three positions (full, infinite-0.53, 0.38 to 0.53), mf easy to use thanks to the large ring. The package includes two different types of hood to use according to the sensor of your car, which is full frame or APSC.

Pros: Optical quality and construction, 2 lens hood as standard accessories, weather sealing and AF fast enough, it also works with multipliers Canon

Cons: stabilizer 4-stops in close-up photography 1:1, is almost completely nullified or at least in part.

Opinion: It 'just that I purchased this goal, and are not yet able to give an appropriate judgment, but I am happy for the great clarity that I found also in TA. also the problem of focus that complain about those who have preceded me, in my example I did not notice, "even blocking the ring at the bottom of the tripod. Moreover, I was positively surprised when I mounted the Canon 1.4x multiplier working with AF and AF with 2x manual but with still image quality really amazing! rnBoh! lucky to be a copy, or at least hope for ora.rnBuona light at all.

Pros: Potentially excellent sharpness and brightness

Cons: Quality construction (described in the opinion)

Opinion: After several readings of reviews and tests and after seeing the pictures it produces, I decided to buy this view in my store. rnAd a price of about € 900 I come home all happy with the idea to try it now with my 7D. rnApro the box and the first impact from an impression of good build quality, nice to see, in short, well-built. RNLA first thing I do is turn the focus to try and about half distance range of maf .... the ring begins to spin! I say nooooo, you can not! I try to use it mounted on the 7D with autofocus, no, stop. At some point, I do not know how, I can think of to loosen the screw of the metal tripod supplied and ..... miracle! the maf finally works as it should in both manual and af. Shake well again the screw, new lenses do not move and the ring idling, shocking, I think. Carry back the lens from my dealer and replace it with a nice Canon 180 Macro because it seems to me a serious defect of designtion, not an isolated case. Tightening the ring apparently deforms the body (plastic) and the lenses are no longer neither forward nor back. I'm not the first to whom it happened, Sigma goodbye.

Pros: I acqustato the lens Sigma 150mm EX DG OS f.2.8 for its optical qualities, in addition to its legendary build quality witnessed by all my contacts!

Cons: Unfortunately, please read below!

Opinion: On 07/04/2012 I bought at the store DOOR PHOTO SAVONA the lens Sigma 150mm EX DG OS f.2.8, serial number 12335614. Having unfortunately almost immediately found a flaw in the manual focus I gave the dealer the same lens on the 28/04/2012per riparazione.rnIn date July 16, 2012 I was given a new objective to replace the defective rnrnAGGIORNAMENTO! RnrnIn On 08/07/2012, in trying the new lens Sigma 150mm EX DG OS f.2.8 serial number 12827044 that I had been sent to replace the previous one, I have found that the autofocus did not work for nothing! I immediately went to the shop PHOTO HOLDER of Savona, where the holder, after having tried in many ways the objective with their own SLRs Canon 50D, had to confirm that the autofocus did not work at all. So I left the photo shop order and all demanding the return of the amount paid at the time. Rn <rnNei first days of November 2012 I was able to withdraw from the dealer a check for the full amount paid to his tempo.rn<RNIN date 19/11/2012 I received this communication from MTrading: rn "" Good morning. reported the fault on his second optics was reportato as "block group HSM." There are no further details were provided. I would exclude a "critical SIGMA / CANON" because a couple of cases (we had another case identical to his own) in relation to units sold, is a number that can not be regarded as absolutely "critical." "" Rn <rnMeditate people meditate! rnrn

Pros: fast autofocus to be a macro, stabilizer notable, the lens is really a blade, razor-sharp and bright apochromatic. At this price it is the top.

Cons: Perhaps the weight, but on the other hand is a 2.8 150mm stabilized ..

Opinion: Ring accurate focus and soft after a while you use freehand begins to weigh if you are not trained as standard with the very useful double lens hood that personally I always montanto (further protects the lens). Quoto those who preceded me, vignetting does not exist. The only thing I have not found in other objectives stabilized, although reading around I see that it is normal, when the stabilizer works there is a bump image.

Pros: Rugged, stabilized, Sharp, Waterproof,

Cons: Weight & Dimensions

Opinion: The first impression you get when hand is that of adding strength to the new painting esterna.rnIl bokeh is good and free of frange.rnL'AF is fast and quiet thanks to the HSM and is supplied impermeabilizzato.rnIn there are 2 lens hood to FF and APS-c to use both but frankly we use only uno.rnLa regulation maf manual is accurate thanks to the softness of the ring controllo.rnLo Stabilizer allows shooting handheld and often me laciato mouth aperta.rnNessun problem maf observed by others

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, bright, quality / price ratio, apochromatic, AF very fast and accurate distances to the "normal" optical stabilizer.

Cons: bokeh not excellent.

Opinion: I use this lens a few months on Nikon D90 and although the car is not up to the lens, one is immediately struck by how sharp and the excellent color rendition. The weight is a bit 'increased from the previous version, but personally not a big problem. The objective belongs to the range of professional Sigma (EX) and is also discernible by the excellent build quality, coated metal. Very broad focusing ring which helps in difficult situations macro. With the lens hood comes with two mounted on each other if you use the lens on an APS-C sensor, but personally I've never had the need to install them both. The 'AF is the classic and tested Ultrasonic Motor (HSM) very fast, accurate and quiet, but has limitations in the case of macro photos really close distance (as well as many other lenses), better then set to manual. The picture quality is already very good at f/2.8 and vignetting is almost non-existent on my APS-C ... I had no way to test it on FF. Personally I find the quality of the blur (bokeh) is not excellent, but at the same time, this optical system has almost no chromatic aberration, so I would say that the symbol APO and fits perfectly ;-)
