According to our camera lens expert
The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro lens for Canon SLR cameras is suitable for macro, portrait, and nature photography. The lens has SLD lens elements, which prevents chromatic aberrations. This ensures a high sharpness, natural colors, and optimal contrast. In addition, the HSM motor provides a super fast autofocus which you can manually use for precise focus as well. This allows you to accurately photograph fast-moving subjects like a butterfly. The lens also prevents shocks and movements thanks to the built-in image stabilization so you get a 4-stop advantage.

I bought this lens because I didn't yet have a macro lens with a maximum aspect ratio of 1:1. The sharpness is excellent with this lens. For the price you pay for it, it is also bright. In addition, the lens can also be used as a telephoto and portrait lens with a fixed focal point. The image stabilization is a big advantage, because most macro lenses don't have that. It should be noted, however, that the image stabilization at the shortest setting distance (31 cm) is of no use and it is better to turn it off. It is advisable to use a tripod for close-up macro photography. That produces razor-sharp photos.

The Sigma 105mm macro fully delivers on the promised quality. Focuses quickly, has a nice bokeh and does not suffer from distortion. The photos are razor sharp right into the corners. It is also compatible with the Sigma extenders, so with my 1.4x now a 170mm Makro lens. You sometimes lose 1 stop in light, but you hardly notice that in practice. The optical stabilization does not work completely silently, but does its job perfectly, I get 3 stops. According to the experts, the Sigma 105 mm Macro is just as good as the Canon 100 mm L, I agree with that. It only lacks the water resistance of the Canon L lenses. The Sigma 105mm macro is much cheaper. A real recommendation for those who want to do macro.
