    Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX Macro Summary
    The Sigma 105mm Macro lens has been among the most popular lenses here since PhotographyREVIEW.com was founded, in 1999. This lens is a proven macro performer and the newest, "DG" version, is designed specifically for digital SLRs.

    Justin says: "This lens far exceeded my expectations in every way! You can get incredibly sharp detail of the smallest insects and flowers. I see things in the photos that I couldn't even see with my naked eye."
