Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro Lens - Nikon F Mount

05 Apr, 2018

Value Value Value

My lens came very well packed in it's own padded lens carry case. Its a large case with a strap for holding it and a loop for fastening to a belt. I was impressed that the lens includes two hoods, one for full frame and the other for the APC sensor cameras (which is a smaller frame chip). This means the lens suits both full frame camera's and APC sensor types. My primary camera is a full frame Nikon D610 but my backup camera is also a Nikon and with a APC sensor. So I can use the lens on both bodies simply by fitting the correct hood. I have trialed the similar Nikon 105mm Macro and it was very nice to use. But around twice the price of the SIGMA. I have read very good reviews of the SIGMA 105mm Macro and already own the second generation SIGMA 12-24mm ultra wide zoom which is fantastic. My first goes with the SIGMA 105mm were a little clumsy as I tried to hand hold the camera and shoot various objects around the garden. I found the autofocus went off into infinity and eventually back as it searched for the correct sharpness. I later realized I can set the distance the autofocus will go with a slide switch on the side. So selecting the shortest focusing distance was best for Macro rather than short to infinity. My first results were really good but I realized looking at the images that the depth of field is very shallow and it is easy when hand holding to accidently focus on something slight in front or behind the important detail and end up with a second rate image. So, that means for Macro I will be committed to using a tripod and experimenting with f stops and associated depth of field. Particularly where flowers are concerned. I have read that you can fit the camera to a sliding indexed scale and take a series of images with the focus gradually shifted from the foreground of the image to the rear then stack it all in software which bends the sharp images together quite advanced sounding but I'm keen to investigate that once I master using the lens as is. It would have been nice to have the brand name lens to suit my camera but I am not a professional and other reviews I have read of the SIGMA convinced my to buy one, although its early yet I do not regret my purchase. I think I will as I get more used to using it in various setups get more than my moneys worth. If you are interested in Macro photography with a DSLR either full frame of APC sensor seriously consider the SIGMA 105mm Macro.

Genuine B+W 82mm XS-PRO Digital MRC Nano HTC Kaesemann Polarizer C-PL CPL Filter

25 May, 2017

Quality first

I wanted the best quality in optical transmission and polarizing that was commercially available in a polarizing filter and am not disappointed with the B+W product that I purchased. It is definitely light weight and slim. This suits my Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 lens. With a 82mm aperture letting plenty of filtered light through. I am shooting with a Nikon D610 full frame DSLR. I appreciate the manufacturers claim of the hardness of the filters external coating as too often I have ruined other brand filters (Hoya etc...) with scratches obtained from cleaning finger prints which attract abrasive dust and dirt. I want my filters to last hence my choice of this product. I have yet to accidentally scratch the surface, so far so good. The build quality is also evident, the rotational action is smooth and the threading fine and secure when the filter is fitted. The photographic results are what I would expect especially reducing reflective surfaces i.e. glass, water surface in my case lakes, and greens, blues in the subject. I especially use my filter for landscapes where there is often lush scenery and I want details to stand out but also street photography where there may be window glare that I want to reduce. The B+W polarizing filter performs these tasks exactly which is how I expect a high end filter to work and reminds me of higher priced polarizing sunglasses, there is a difference in how effectively they work and block stray light. I will consider additional B+H filters for my other lenses i.e. telephoto but on an as needs basis. From a process point of view I believe it is better to capture the best image possible first before post processing that way there is less loss of detail. This is evident to me in the 82mm B+H polarizing filter, highly recommended. Sincerely Joe.
