Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Superlative lens. Like all macro lenses, it does not have a fast (indeed, rather slow) autofocus but in macro photography it does not make sense. Exceptional sharpness already at 5.6, the more you close the aperture the more it increases, giving remarkable images. Very useful for shy subjects because the focal length allows you to stay at a distance of almost one meter, obtaining a respectable magnification even on full-frame. It has a certain weight, but you get used to it. I also used it for landscapes and wildlife, impeccable. Out of production, but if you find it used do not miss it!

Pros: Sharpness, Colors, Blurred

Cons: Outdoor finish pier beautiful and pleasant but a little delicate...

Opinion: Great lens for macros and more. In macros it behaves excellently, wonderful blur and impeccable sharpness. In other situations it is great for portraits and landscapes. It is not a paparazzo optics as the focus is quick for nearby floors but going from a flower to a mountain, it takes a few seconds... for the purchase I recommend the one with f/3.5 in spite of the 2.8 since in practice it is used at f/5.6-8 or higher f/11-16) for macros.

Pros: Optical quality at the highest livelli.rnCorsa long focus for focusing a hand centesimale.rnGhiera focus extensive and well gommata.rnAF fast (HSM ultrasonic) if you do need to run after nervous subjects (eg. Butterflies active on the flowers, field-tested). rnPrezzo compared to competitor Canon (but has a better build quality).

Cons: Exterior finish very delicate and tend to sverniciarsi facilmente.rnPeso and space (but is still a 180mm)

Opinion: Optics excellent for those who want to do macro without getting too close to the subject, but most of all (and this is the reason why I own it) to have backgrounds in sfuocatissimi same magnification (and diaphragm) with shorter focal lengths. I use it a lot and allows to mate all you want additional optics (lenses add., Multipliers, pipes, even together) without sacrificing image quality. Highly recommended to buy used instead of new Sigma 180 F/2.8 which is heavier, bulkier and more expensive, as in the macro aperture 2.8 is completely useless (unless you use it for portraits ....) but with additional stabilizer. To me that pretty much always shooting with a tripod stabilization would inutile.rnValida alternative to this lens is the Sigma 150 macro. More compact and lightweight, with results virtually identical to the 180.
