Here is a classic, affordable, and quite well-regarded macro lens - I've been meaning to publish this review for a long time. Is it a value-king...or just cheap?

I’ve been subscribed to you for years, and I just want to say please don’t ever change your lens review workflow. It’s the best way for us to compare the newest lenses with the much older ones, or simply just other recent lenses, since it’s basically the same exact test for each lens.. and the basically identical repetition just makes things so comparable. Thanks for being such an honest, non-biased lens reviewer.

Chris would you open a video with the introduction "Greetings mere mortals" 😂

When I first got this lens I was surprised how loud the OIS was when it automatically turns off after releasing the shutter button, it doesn't sound right, so I thought the lens was broken, but it seems to be normal. Other than that I really like it, it's currently my favorite lens and I took so many great pictures with it.

Sigma's 70mm offerings are king of IQ amongst their macros, it's shame that can't translate to their ~100mm focal lengths. It's a better focal length for most macro applications.

You should do a review on the sigma 70-200mm f2.8 DG HSM OS, i got mine for $200 used after doing some deep searching lol, works like a dream!

Perfect lens! I got it for a few months now, but I simply don't want to attach anything else to my camera!!! Whoever is looking for a 100mm prime just buy it while you can! Even for portraits you won't find anything better with this focal length at this price range!

How did you know Chris? I've been looking at this lens as a Christmas present for myself but I had not been able to find a review that lives up to yours. This will most likely help me make the final decision. Thank you for all the great work you do Chris:)

@HusseinBerjaoui

I have never watched a review from start to finish like I did with this one. So soothing!

Thank you, i asked you some time ago for this review, in the mean time i used it for 2 years i think and recently i am the owner of the "brutal" M6 mk 2, i am happy with this lens, i get pretty good pictures with it. All the best.

I work in camera/lens repairs, and occasionally sales. Both from a user perspective, and a design/repair perspective, I suggest this lens literally every time I can. Modern Sigma lenses are just superbly made - there's a reason the Art primes weigh as much as they do.
