Canon SLR With Sigma Macro Lens

The world changes when you put that macro lens on your digital SLR camera. All of a sudden, things appear that you never knew were there before.

This is very cool when it happens.

If you are a major camera brand user, such as Nikon or Pentax, you can use a Sigma Macro lens, however, this article is based on using a Canon EOS digital camera system.

Why? Why not just get the Canon macro lens? Another question, can't you just use any lens for macro photography?

Excellent questions, and they have some compelling answers.

First, about macro lenses. A specially designed lens is used for getting really close to your subject. It is a macro lens. They are created carefully for this intent. Nevertheless the pieces of glass are placed inside the lens barrel is just right for getting that macro photo.

This allows the macro lens to take much sharper and clearer photos when placed close to a subject. Dedicated macro lenses have only one focal length, such as 105mm. Those lenses that actually include the word "macro" in their title, but they are zoom lenses, are not going to give you the high quality image you desire in your macro photography.

Next, consider using a Sigma macro lens versus a Canon macro lens. Some photo enthusiasts won't even consider it. If you are one of these, you may as well move on. However, there may be a valid reason to think about it... price.

Usually Sigma Macro lenses for Canon digital SLRs are less money than Canon macro lenses. The good news is that no matter which one you use, Sigma or Canon, you will still get excellent photo quality. Most likely, you can't tell the difference in image quality between the two. You would have to call in the investigation team from NCIS to figure out which is which.

Third party manufacturers like Sigma have made a commitment. They realize that if they don't get the quality right in their macro lenses, they will not get any of the market share. They put lots of time and research into getting it right. What they ended up with are great engineering and great lenses.

There are four dedicated macro lenses if you decide on Sigma. The focal lengths are 50mm, 70mm, 105mm, and 150mm. The 105mm macro lens is the lens of choice to start with.

There are two great reasons for this, and it is not because the others are not good. First, you get a true macro image at 1:1 (life size). This is why you buy macro. And the second reason is not one you might think of. The 105mm lens is an excellent portrait lens. Yes, facial portraits. Many portrait shooters use a 100mm lens for the lion's share of their work, and this one will fill the bill.

Sigma macro ratings are very high. You actually should check ratings before buying any piece of camera equipment. In this case, you will discover that many consider Sigma an equal to Canon in the macro category.

Discovering macro photography may be the defining moment in your photographic hobby or career. The beauty and intricacies of nature make you realize that there is a Creator, and He did not hold back, even in the most minute details.

Why should you use a piece of lens paper only once?

Because it collects particles from the first use, and you do not want to smear the particles from the first use/ scratch the lens with them.
Just learned that last week in Bio.
