Sigma's 150mm macro without OS — same family as ID 1118, earlier version without stabilisation.
The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Macro is a long telephoto macro prime providing true 1:1 magnification at 150mm focal length — the extended working distance at maximum magnification is ideal for photographing insects and wildlife.
Optically very good with APO apochromatic correction providing excellent chromatic aberration control — essential at macro distances where colour fringing is most visible. HSM motor delivers fast quiet autofocus. The f/2.8 also makes it an excellent portrait lens.
Available for Canon EF, Nikon F, and Sony A mounts with 72mm filter thread. Approximately 895g — heavy but expected for 150mm macro specification. EX professional build quality with metal barrel construction. Tripod collar included as essential at this weight.
Available used at mid-range prices — the 180mm f/2.8 OS version added stabilisation at longer focal length for even more working distance. No image stabilisation on this version requiring tripod for best macro results. For macro photographers who need long working distance.
