Sigma Normal 50mm f2.8 EX DG Macro Autofocus Lens for Canon EOS
( Focal Length: 50mm - Lens Aperture: 45f-stops )
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. Macro lenses require a high imaging performance for photographing objects with 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. Floating Focusing System Floating Focusing system that enables this lens to photograph objects precisely in entire focusing range. Standard 50mm lens for digital SLR cameras This standard macro lens enables you to enjoy the communication with subject. When viewing through the camera's finder, you are able to move your subject, and make precise adjustment. It has a close working distance and it is very convenient for taking close-up pictures of a fossil, or other inanimate things for example. This lens would have an equivalent field of view of an 85mm macro lens on a digital SLR camera (when used with the SD10). Minimum aperture of F45 Although the depth of field this medium telephoto is shallow, sometimes would be necessary to have greater depth of field, because it is difficult to take a sharp picture of a subject and the background at the maximum aperture. Minimum aperture of F45 (F45 for Sigma, Canon and Konica Minolta mounts) or F32 (F32 for Nikon and Pentax mounts) provides greater depth of field. A screw-in lens hood A screw-in hood is included, for convenient use of circular polarizing filters.&ref=Become

Pros & Cons :i used the lens for portraiture and walking around (until i would feel too constrained and a need to go wider).
Love it
...It feels a tad slower too. This is forgivable given the price tag and the quality of the glass. I bought the lens to replace the 50mm that broke after a short fall. I used the lens for portrait ... read more

Pros & Cons :it would be nice to be able to manually focus while in af mode.
Great Budge Macro Lens
...Perfect lens for weddings (rings) and flowers. It will work well for insects as well as long as you don't spook them by getting up-close. The auto-focus tends to take long to find the subject but ... read more

Pros & Cons :1, but many high end, dedicated macro lenses are manual focus only.
Great blend of performance and value
...For doing real close up work, I find manual focus is to be preferred; Autofocus is nothing but an annoying distraction. I bought this lens to be used both for macro work and as a standard 50mm pri ... read more

Pros & Cons :when using though, be careful as the lens does move to achieve the right ratio and to focus but does not look like its close when looking through the viewfinder.
...This is a great lens for macro (close-up) photography. This is even better than the canon and nikon macro lenses as said by PC Photo Magazine. For the price, the performance is more than great. ... read more
