This test is on an older Sigma 90mm f2.8 macro lens which, although very much designed as a film camera lens, performs extremely well on both my Nikon and Fuji S2 bodies. In fact this is one of the sharpest lenses I’ve used with digital - with portraits maybe even a wee bit too sharp at times. It’s only drawback is a considerably cooler color rendition than my Nikon lenses but that’s not exactly a huge problem. Build quality is excellent, with only the narrow manual focus ring to complain about. Although classed as a macro lens it doesn’t focus down to 1:1 with film, but with digital SLR’s the focal length multiplier takes you most of the way there. This lens was bought on ebay and didn’t come with a hood, but as the front element is well recessed that hasn’t been a problem. Overall this is an excellent lens, and feels so well made that the main concern, if you get hold of one is with compatibility - especially with Canon DSLR’s - check before you buy. I’ve found that older Sigma lenses are usually OK with Nikon or Minolta, but not with Canon. Worth a search on ebay for one of these or the 50mm version.
