Sigma 90mm 2.8 Macro for Minolta X-700?

Recommended Posts

I had the Nikon mount version for a while. I can't remember what

it cost (it was about 60% the price of Nikon's own lens, if I recall

correctly).

 

The lens is extremely sharp--you should have no complaints

whatsoever about its performance.

 

I eventually traded it for the Nikon macro lens, as I was a little

suspicious of the durability of the mechanics of the lens--I tend

to use mine in some rather rough conditions. That said, I can't

really say for sure that the Sigma lens is truly any less durable

than Nikon's (or Minolta's); under normal conditions it will

probably work just fine.

 

And again, optically it is as good as anything out there, and better

than most. You would probably be most happy with it, if you

decide to go with it.

I do not know about price but looking at the test results on photodo.com, this is one of the sharpest lenses made by Sigma. There are other factors to consider such as contrast, but on paper starts to look like a good option.
