Sigma APO telephoto macro at 150mm without OS, lighter non-stabilised alternative at lower pricing.
The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Macro is a professional telephoto macro with APO glass, 1:1 magnification, and HSM autofocus — the non-OS version previously enriched with OS as ID 2840. The APO glass controls chromatic aberration without OS stabilisation.
The 150mm provides comfortable working distance for macro subjects, and the APO correction ensures colour purity at close distances where chromatic aberration is most visible. The HSM motor provides fast, quiet AF with manual override, and the 1:1 magnification reveals life-size detail.
Build quality is Sigma EX premium with quality construction. The non-OS version is lighter and more affordable than the OS variant while providing identical optical quality and APO correction.
The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro without OS offers quality telephoto macro at lower pricing than the OS version. The APO correction and 1:1 provide genuine macro quality — the OS version is better for handheld, but this non-OS is lighter.
