The lens is ok, it’s fast and very sharp. Ok, now the but... I don’t like that the variable aperture is only at certain focal lengths. For instance you can’t have a 2.8 aperture for all focal lengths (17-70) or 4.5 aperture for all focal lengths (18-70). Other than that my client loved the pictures taken with this lens on my Nikon D7100.

This unit acts as a manual focus lens on my Nikon camera body as it does not have the HSM motor built into it. It takes a considerable effort to render a sharp image. This would be a great addition for anyone using a Nikon aps-c camera body with the built n focusing motor. The lens has a great deal of heft to it weighting more than the camera body. Build quality is excellent

The Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG EX macro is among the best 4 best macro lenses in the world: Canon 100mm f2.8L IS, Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Micro and probably the sharpest one Sigma 150 f2.8 DG EX macro. Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG (special color corrected multi-coating and designed for any format APS or full-frame sensors) is absolutely sharp with great "bokeh" for macro shots and also portraits (sometimes too sharp for portraits). It fits very well in the APS cameras as a 100 or 112mm macro for that perfect distance in flowers & insects shots or as a super fast portrait lens. Fitted in a full-frame you'll get a great all purpose macro, landscape, portrait lens. I have had them all and I kept the 70mm and 150mm Sigmas. Since them I'm always ready for any kind of product, portrait and macro shooting. I'm a professional photographer based in NYC with 3 decades of experience.Read full review
I like using this lens for all the times my family is sitting at the kitchen table or playing in the living room. It enables me to go without flash most of the time in those situations. However, it is also a very fine lens for those times when I want to be a "serious hobbyist." It does macro as well as a dedicated 1:1 macro lens that I recently owned. I also own a sigma 50-150 and it is also very nice. Together the 2 cover the field for me.
