Strength:
Very sharp and high contrast.
Weakness:
Brand image, my friend keep asking you have what in your F100? This is a very good lens. Buy with confidence. EX finish looks very nice. I also owns the above lenes. After comparing the final picture: Better result for half the price. Please use high saturation film like Agfs Ultra50 or Fuji Reala 100. You will be amazed.

Strength:
Relatively cheap. High image quality: contrast and sharpness are excellent already wide open. It's solidly made but still lightweight. Goes directly to 1:1
Weakness:
There's a bit of barrel distortion, noticeable in architectural shots. Image quality could hardly be better. Distortion could be improved. An excellent value for the money. I recommend it to every outdoor photographer, and it's very good for people/portraits too! Customer Service - Similar Products Used: Micro-Nikkor 2.8/55 mm |

Strength:
Exceptionally sharp. Solidly built. Affordable.
Weakness:
Have to go through two steps to switch to manual focus. Minor inconvenience. This is my third Sigma lens. I am very pleased overall. This 105 1:1 is exceptionally sharp. The focus limiting feature (so the lens doesn't hunt its whole range to find the correct focus) is a nice feature. It is very solid feeling. It focuses easily. It is very bright. I use it with confidence. I am thrilled with it. Reasonably priced for such quality. Customer Service not required. Similar Products Used: Used to use a Kiron 105mm 1:1 on my Canon F-1. |

Strength:
Price, Sharp, 1:1 Magnification
Weakness:
None so far I was looking between this lens and the Nikon's. I order them both and decided to stick with the Sigma. Better value for the money and I am not into selling my pictures. More than adequate for my needs. Customer Service Not needed Similar Products Used: Nikon 60mm Micro |

Strength:
1:1 ability and a solidly built lens.
Weakness:
None to speak of. An excellent lens for the price, well worth every penny. It actually spends more time on my camera than any other lens I own. I'm looking foreward to trying the Sigma 180mm. Customer Service Not needed Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
Optical quality, Light weight, Price
Weakness:
Selection MF/AF : to be done twice ! On the camera body + on the lense ! Excellent optical quality (Very good at f2.8, excellent after), very good manual focus ring, distance limiter for faster AF, reasonable price, good build quality. But the selector MF/AF is ridiculous : it must be used WITH the selector on the camera ! Twice the work. Nonsense. Similar Products Used: Leitz R-90/2.8, Pentax M-100/2.8, Leitz R-60/2.8 Macro |

Strength:
Very good optics. Easy to hand hold. I've taken many extreme closeups with this lens and have not been disapointed in the least.

Awkward switching from manual to auto. This lens to a must have if you are into macro photography at all. Good price. Great Lens. Buy it now. Similar Products Used: Nikon 55 micro nikkor |
