Sigma's fast 28mm wide-angle macro — the f/1.8 EX with close-focus capability for Nikon F.

The Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG Aspherical Macro is a fast wide-angle prime with macro close-focus capability for Nikon F mount. At f/1.8 and 28mm with close-focus to 20cm, it combines speed and wide-angle perspective with dramatic close-up capability. The EX designation indicates professional build. A unique combination lens from 2001.

Optical performance is decent for the era. The macro close-focus at 28mm creates unique dramatic wide-angle perspectives. Sharpness is respectable from f/1.8. The aspherical element helps control aberrations. DG coatings reduce sensor reflections. The combination of f/1.8 speed and close-focus macro at 28mm is genuinely unique.

Nikon F mount. Filter thread is 77mm — large for 28mm. Weight is approximately 500 grams. Build quality is solid EX professional grade. HSM motor for quiet AF. The 20cm close-focus creates dramatic in-your-face perspectives impossible with standard lenses. No image stabilisation.

Available at low prices. Check AF and focus ring. The unique wide-angle close-focus is the main appeal. The Sigma 28mm f/1.4 Art is dramatically better for pure wide-angle. This lens is for photographers who want the creative close-focus capability at 28mm — a specification nothing else offers.
