Sigma announces pricing and availability for 180mm f/2.8 macro lens | Photo Rumors
Well, I've been long waiting for the announcement for the price of this lens. It's a dream macro lens, and would pair nicely as a nice portrait/telephoto lens as well. Beautiful. And it's quite sexy to look at, if I do say so. But, the $1700 is a bit of a punch to the stomach.
What are your opinions?
Do you think this will put the sticks to Nikon/Canon to come up with a competitor? If so, it will be hard to justify the price tag on those two. With OS, HSM, and an F/2.8 aperture, I would choose this lens over the Nikon 200/4 any day.
