  • Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp - good optical performance

    Image sharpness limited by camera pixel density - sharp as. I'm using this with an eos 350D. I'm very happy with this lens. I'd challenge this site to review it in comparison to the Canon 100/2.8 macro.

  • Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp. Great bokeh
    Heavy - to be expected at f2.8 zoom

    First lens after buying eos 350D with kit 18-55 + 90 -300. Took a little while to adjust to the AF/MF mechanism. Once sorted, this lens justified my move to the dSLR realm after owning an Oly C8080WZ - which was a kick ass for it's class as a prosumer camera (esp. for tripod mounted landscape stuff) before it got stolen.
    This lens has a slightly noisy mechanism, which doesn't affect wildlife except for the fury varieties. It is very sharp and the wide apeture makes for great portait stuff.
