Buy Cheap Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens for Canon SLR Cameras From Here Now!

Sigma launched first standard 50mm Macro lens in 1990. This was succeeded by the 50mm F2.8 EX Macro in 1998 which proved even more popular with photographers, benefiting from improved build and optical quality. The advent of digital SLRs requires optimum lens performance and therefore the very latest optical technology has been incorporated in the production of the New Macro 50mm F2.8 EX DG. This ideal standard lens sets the benchmark for digital SLR cameras. The new advanced lens design corrects various aberrations. This macro lens is specially coated to get the best color balance whilst cutting down ghost caused by reflections from the digital image sensor. This lens provides the utmost correction against lateral chromatic aberration which is a serious problem for digital SLR cameras.

 "Good resolution but focussing slips" 2010-02-22
By caleb
I actually own two of these lenses, I'm pairing them with 5D MKII bodies and doing copy work on a copy stand. The edge to edge sharpness is good, build quality nice, I'm getting my best results at F11. Unfortunately using copy stands the focus slips after a short period which is frustrating. I haven't had the need to use the auto focus but just playing it does seem quite loud. Looking back my have sprung for some Zeiss lenses but overall the sigma is a great value just exactly right for my needs. 3.5 would be my rating if I could go in halves

 "Great first macro lens" 2010-02-04
By E. Islo
This is the first lens i have purchased for my Canon Rebel Xs. It works great and is super easy to use. I love that it comes with a hood. Often the hood isn't included and a flimsy piece of plastic from canon can cost upwards to $20. The only thing i don't like is that the hood can't be on for the lens cap to fit on the lens. you have to unscrew the hood to replace the cap. Not the end of the world though. I have a Sigma 35mm camera and it has rock solid construction. This lens matches that same quality.

 "Love it!" 2010-01-11

I have a Canon EOS 30D that I've owned for about 2 years. I've been wanting a macro lens for a while, but have had a hard time justifying the cost... especially since I originally had my eye on Canon's 100mm macro. Then someone suggested this Sigma lens to me, and I noticed that all the reviews were incredible. I was nervous about going with a 3rd party lens, but the price was right and the reviews gave me confidence. And also, I preferred the 50mm focal point vs Canon's 100mm (makes it a more versatile lens, in my opinion).



So then this christmas my dad gave me money to buy the lens, and I've only had it a few days now but I am already in love! This lens is wonderful-- the look and feel are good, and it takes GORGEOUS photos both close-up and otherwise. I've simply been using manual focus for close-up shots, but I've been very surprised at how fast the AF is (with the limitor switch on). It really is almost instantaneous, which is awesome. I think even faster than my other lenses (Canon 50mm f/1,8, Canon 17-85mm).



I borrowed my friend's 100mm macro lens last year, and honestly I don't see a significant quality difference between the two (though I am also not a pro, so may not have a critical enough eye for that sort of thing). Basically, I am VERY happy with this lens, right out of the box. The photos are gorgeous, razor sharp at the focus points, beautiful bokeh elsewhere, colors are very pretty, etc etc etc. This is a great alternative to more expensive macros. I actually wonder if this will replace my "nifty fifty" as my favorite lens... we'll see. ; )

 "Superb lens for a superb camera" 2009-08-17
By James L. Frimmer
Not only am I completely satisfied with this lens, but the price was excellent and the shipping the same. I saw the "buy within the next 14 minutes and receive next day" tag and I would have paid just about anything to get it the next day. As it was I think the shipping fee was $21.95 for next day service, and since I know when the UPS guy comes by my street, I made sure I was home at that time. He showed up six minutes early that day.



My next goal is something like a 600 mm or 1200 mm macro lens.
