Sigma 180mm 2.8 Macro
« on: September 20, 2012, 12:18:30 AM »
Received this the other day. I haven't had much of a chance to take some "proper" macro shots with it, but in just messing around the house with it- I'm quite impressed with the sharpness- Especially when using the Sigma 1.4x TC. Two gripes that I have are the size- It is massive compared to the 100mm 2.8 L and also it isn't weather sealed. Anyhow, here are a few around-the-house test shots (all wide open, however some are @ f4 due to TC):

You're probably this forum's first owner of the Sigma 180mm f/2.8 so you could start a new thread in Image & Video Galleries >> Lens Gallery. I look forward to seeing more.

I would also be interested to see more photos with this new lens :P

Hopefully Sigma won't redo this lens like they did with 120-300mm lens...

Does the Sigma 180 mm Macro auto focus properly (not just in macro range) in LIVE VIEW?  I had to return Sigma 70mm Macro lens because it would not auto focus properly in live view (fine by viewfinder).  I mean, not even close to being focused.
