The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras offers advanced performance of close-up photography. The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables handheld close-up photography. A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens and one high refractive index SLD lens provide excellent correction for all types of aberration and distortion. A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical path to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration and provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 Macro.The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, providing high contrast images. It is also possible to use this lens with Sigma’s APO TELE CONVERTERS. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed autofocus as well as full-time manual focus capability. This lens features a splash proof design for use in harsh conditions and a rounded 9 blade diaphragm creating an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image.

Unfortunately SSE is not a Sigma USA dealer so you do not have a warranty. Grey market lenses have a minimum $250 repair charge.” The only reason for separating “US Version” and “International” would be the warranty. Since neither has it, such designations appear deliberately…

First Impressions – Great as a general use lens I don’t do a lot of macro but wanted a lens for beauty portraiture. This is hands down the best macro for general use photography for several reasons.1: Autofocus speed is fast. Really fast. As long as you aren’t focusing from the front to back of its range its AF will impress. It’s also silent which is a nice bonus.2. Doesn’t extend. This is more a personal thing, but an extending lens can distract models and unbalances the camera.3. Stabilization. This is less…
