World’s first high speed tele-macro lens
This large aperture telephoto macro lens enables you to shoot up to 1:1 life size close-ups. Its large F2.8 aperture makes it an ideal lens for digital SLR as well as film SLR cameras. The new lens power layout provides the ultimate correction against lateral chromatic aberration to which digital cameras are prone.
Two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements control various color aberrations and assure high image quality.
A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical system to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration.
The HSM models provide ultra quiet high-speed autofocusing as well as full-time manual focus override.

Great Macro Lens
This is a great Macro lens. I got it just a few days ago and have already taken hundreds of photo's with it. The depth of field that the minimum focusing distance is extremely shallow, which can create some intresting photo's, but can also be a slight bit annoying at times. Sigma's website (sigmaphoto.com) says the minimum focusing distance for this lens is 15 inches, i have found that i can focus on something as close as 8 inches, and at 150mm, thats big time magnification. I would highly recomend this lens to anyone who is intrested in macro. It's a whole new world of photography, and lots of fun.
As good as it gets
I can't say enough good things about this lens! The build, feel, sharpness are all top notch. The velvety EX finish screams quality even on the lens hood. I tell you my Nikon 18-200mm feels like cheap chinese knockout next to this one. I also compared it to Nikon 105mm VR and see no difference in performance, i.e. speed, bokeh, etc. If you are ready to fork out extra $200 for VR, then go for it. Otherwise buy this one -- you won't regret (btw, top choice digital has an excellent price on it). Despite what other people say, the focus on this puppy is very quiet and fast, fast, fast...unless you are focusing on low contrast subjects in a cave of course. The lens is good not only for macro, but is excellent for close up portrait and tele work. Great job Sigma!
The sharpest lens
The lens is sharp, not just as a macro lens, but as a general lens as well. I was concerned about the auto-focusing speed, but it turns out fast enough for me, at least on my Nikon D300 anyway. The lens has a helfty feel, which makes it easier to hold sturdy in hand for general usage. For macro work, the lens is on tripod of course. I especially like the tripod foot, much easier to rotate from lanscape to portrain position. The sharpest lens I have (compared with 50mm f/1.8 and 17-55mm f/2.8).
