    Overview

    The Sigma APO Macro 180mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM is a unique telephoto macro lens offering f/2.8 aperture and 1:1 magnification with optical stabilization. Optically, it delivers impressive sharpness from f/2.8 through f/22 and pleasing bokeh, but lateral chromatic aberrations increase when stopped down. Build quality is solid and heavy at over 1.5 kg, with a smooth focus ring and useful focus limiter. It suits photographers needing long working distance for skittish subjects like reptiles, but its size and weight make it less convenient for general macro work.
