Product Description |
| Features minimum focusing, down to 20cm/7.9inches (reproduction ratio 1:2.9). The iris diaphragm has 9 diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus image. It incorporates the floating focus system and the use of two aspherical lens elements to minimize distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism. The lens incorporates minimum vignetting optical construction in order to obtain adequate peripheral brightness with open aperture. Internal focus system of the lens eliminates front lens rotation, thus allowing the use of a Perfect Hood and easy use of polarizing filters. The lens also incorporates a dual-focus mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, and yet provides adequate torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the lens. The lens materials used in this lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass. |

| Since I've purchased this lens it has hardly left my K110D body. A bit soft wide open but if low light cannot be worked around it's better than the alternatives (flash, motion blurr). Beautiful colors and especially good transition from in-focus to out-of-focus areas. I bit bulky but I knew this a priori and I quite like it now compared to lighter lenses. Seems well built and focusing is very smooth. |
BEST WIDEANGLE LENS I HAVE USED

This lens is awesome.
I wanted a wideangle for shooting indoor low light. This filled that void and then some. I wasnt satisfied with the idea of getting a f/2.8 wideangle lens for shooting indoors. I wanted something faster, then I stumbled up on this lens. I could not find many reviews, but I figured Sigma was a good brand, and anyways the lens turned out to be fantastic.
I use it primary for indoor shooting and for situations where I need a wider angle of view.
I would highly recommend this lens to anyone who just needs something wider than a 50mm on a DX sensor.
I am using this on a Nikon D90 and have been overwhelmingly satisfied with this product.

| I used this lens on a Sony Alpha 350, it does exactly what I want it to do, and it's lightweight. Great Lens! |
Great lens for Canon XT and 40D

For the price this Sigma 28mm f/1.8 prime is a great deal. It allows you to take really creative shots in low light and does a decent job at macro photos (nowhere near as good as a dedicated macro lens, but its ok).
Had some focusing issues on the first lens I got but on the second unit (after returning the first one) it was perfect.
Its 1/2 the price of the Canon 28mm prime, but does 90% as well. However, it has loud focusing and is a bit slower. |
