Bought a brand new Sigma 150mm 2.8 APO EX DG OS HMS Macro lens a few days ago. After testing the lens as a short telephoto and macro I can now say this is one of the best lens I have owned to date. The clarity and sharpness are second to none. And the optical stabilization is amazing. I owned the non OS version a couple years go, loved it, and always kicked myself for sell it. I used it with the Sigma 1.4x EX DG teleconverter with great results shooting little league games. Now I have the OS version which is even better. Paid $1099 and I am grateful to have it. The lens has been discontinued by Sigma and none of my usual suppliers have it, at least not new in a box. Amazon allegedly does but I do not trust Amazon as one never knows where the item actually comes from. Procam here in Michigan was suppose to have one but could not find it so they wrote it off as an inventory error. A week went by and I got a call from Procam telling me they located the lens, it was new in the box and ask if I still wanted it. Well a 35 mile drive and the rest is history.

ProCam is about 1 1/2 hours from me but, it's a great store and feel we must support any store that is give us the opportunity to shop and get advice.

It is a really nice lens, I have owned it and now own its big brother the 180mm, have also owned the Canon 180mm Macro, the Sigma is by far the nicer lens of the two. Have fun with it.

I beg to differ. Amazon always indicates when a product
comes from a third party and who that third party is.
