If I had a Canon L I would never buy a sigma even if it’s a stop faster.

I am just comparing to my Canon 100mm Macro, but I guess being a 180mm makes up for that. Plus I could still use my Kenko extension tubes.

thought.. that´s maybe not such a big issue with macro. i use manual focusing for macro most of the time.

if only sigma would have a good quality management.

i stopped buying sigma one year ago.
i had enough… sending one bad copy after the other back to amazon.
normaly it took 3 attemps to get a good working sigma lens.

that said.. this lens does look nice!
