Re: "Macro Lens" ... "Macro" ... too broad a term

You have great advice on this thread.  My two cents: I use the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro in studio with controlled lighting without opening up the aperture. I tend to focus stack so I tether my Nikon and therefore need AF in the lens. Keeping all these things in mind, the Sigma 105 has been a great lens for me that produces great image quality. I would not say it has a strong build (it makes a lot of odd noises which is concerning), but I do not take it outside that much.
