I originally bought this lens specifically for macro photography to photograph flowers. This lens is quite amazing for almost every thing you'd want to photograph. Even though I've been into macro photography for years, this lens does have a bit of a learning curve to it. Using auto focus with this lens can be a bit frustrating as it doesn't seem to be able to lock in on the subject. I'm honestly not sure if it's the lens or my camera. This lens is also great for portraits and just anything you might want to photograph. It is very well made and a high quality lens for the money. I have several Sigma lenses that I have been using for years and I highly recommend their products.

The epitome of a macro lens. I was on the fence between this and the 90mm Sony. I chose the Sigma because the reviews had said it had better sharpness. I can tell you this thing is sharp! The focus mechanism is pretty loud but that's fine to live with. For half the price of the Sony this is a great buy!

Lens showed up well packaged. Registered with Sigma for the extended warranty with no issues. This is by far my favorite and takes great macro photos as well as portraits.

Got the lens as I needed it for a specific photoshoot. Worked okay and then I put it away safely (packaged, len cap ect)I pull it out a year later for another shoot and now the auto focus and manual focus ring both don't work. Seller is rejecting the warranty claim as its been 1 month past the 1 year warranty period, even though Sigma lenses are suppose to have a 2 year lens warranty.Overall, get a Sony or buy from a different seller.

Optically, this lens was pretty nice. Unfortunately I found the AF performance to be terrible. There was a LOT of focus breathing to the point of not being usable in many situations. In MF mode, using Sony's MF highlighting made it easy to work with in some situations, but that kills the versatility of the lens. If you live in MF mode, you'd probably like this lens.

So I bought this lens at $799 and I saw today it’s on sale for 30% off at $554. I just returned and bought it at the new price because I was within the return window but I would have been happy with it even paying the full price. At this current price it’s a freaking steal. I have had the pleasure of using this for the past week and I can confidently say it is an amazing piece of glass. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a macro lens for Sony e mounts. I use a Sony A7 IV camera and the image quality this combo can produce is stunning. I walked around a downtown area and just shot everything wide open at f2.8 and it made everything gorgeous with minimal distortion. The colors pop and everything looks incredibly sharp especially when viewed on a high end color accurate monitor. The bokeh it can produce in portrait shots looks beautiful and well blended. Another interesting upside of this is it’s low light performance. I included one shot of a downtown area at night to showcase what it can do in this area. I shot that night image free handed and due to the A7s built in stabilization it still came out great. Arguably it’s low light performance even rivals my sigma 35mm f1.4 art lens and that’s impressive given how impressive that lens is as well. The build quality of the lens is also great, I love the usage of metal and the high quality physical switches and dials. With that high quality feel comes quite a bit of weight though. Be aware that this is a heavy setup if used on an a7 or something of comparable weight. This doesn’t bother me but could be a problem for others. The only thing that could feel better on the build quality of the lens is maybe the focus ring due to its feel and the heavy use of rubberized plastic around it but that might come down to personal preference.There are only a few other downsides and I can easily look past those given what it can do. Like others have said, the autofocus isn’t as perfect as the rest of this package. This is due to the noise it produces(not a huge issue for me) and because it’s not as speedy as some other lens. Manual focus works great though and Sonys DMF focus setting also works great if you wanna quickly try to autofocus then adjust manually to make sure you have your shot in perfect focus.Overall I am extremely pleased with this lens and love finding new ways to use it. Also be aware that it can do much more than close up macro shots and portraits. I was surprised at the versatility of this lens and the variety of different shots I could create with the 105mm focal length.Side note: One of the top reviews says you can’t change the aperature within your camera. That is not true. Just leave the aperature ring on the “A” setting and the camera can control it (which is what I prefer).

This was my first Sigma lens! Love the build quality, image quality and style of the photos that come out of this thing. The autofocus motor is a liiiiitttle bit loud, but no big deal at all. I probably should be using manual focus for macro shots anyway. The images and videos always turn out beautiful. Sigma comes in clutch with the image quality, yet again. Awesome lens!

Love this lens and opted to keep this over the 1.4 version, not only for macro work, but for portrait work as well. Images are gorgeous. Great contrast, color, sharpness... I've had no issues with the AF other than if it's really dark which you could say that about almost any lens. It has a limiter switch as well and if it's dark, keep your Sony on (single) and you should be good. Great build quality a well and very light.

Da es für die Sony nur 2 Makro Objektive gibt (Sony 90mm und jetzt neu Sigma 105mm), habe ich das Sigma Art genommen nachdem ich verschiedene Vergleichstest mir angesehen habe.Fazit:- Sehr tolles Objektiv mit- guter Schärfe- gutes Bokeh und- schöne Blendensterne.Einschränkungen kann ich nur folgende aufzählen:- Autofokus nicht ganz so schnell (ich kenne aber das Sony nicht)- ist in der Makro Fotografie jetzt auch nicht so wichtig- Der Objektiv Deckel ist etwas sperrig raufzumachen, erst recht wenn die Streulichtblende montiert ist- Man muss sich erst an diesen manuellen Blendering gewöhnen, wenn man sonst dieses nicht mehr gewohnt ist - man kommt recht leicht an diesen ran - der lässt sich glücklicherweise aber auch locken/abstellen.- Es hat keinen eigenen Stabi wie die Sony Objektive - Hat bei mir nicht gestört - Aufnahmen aus der Hand waren allesamt scharf - auch bei normal/bis längeren BelichtungszeitenInsgesamt sind die ersten Aufnahmen sehr gut. Würde ich wieder kaufen.
