| Latest Review Posted | Sigma Macro 50mm F2.8
Probably one of the best lenses out there in terms of cost-to-quality ratio. Few know it even exists, and most who do hang on to theirs because they understand what a brilliant lens it is. The build is superb (superb indented rubber focus ring), bokeh is terrific, and the focus accuracy is spot on. I love that it's also a 1:1 true macro. Aperture goes from 2.8-22, which means you can shoot in all kinds of light. And with the 80-85mm digital equivalent, it doubles as a wonderful portrait lens. What I like about this lens is that it's not only a macro lens but an all-around great shooter. Instead of purchasing a new 60mm xf lens for my XT-1, I just got an adapter for $12, slapped this baby on, and away I went. So what there's no auto-focus? Who uses auto-focuse for macros and portraits anyway? Not me. |
