"I am using this 70mm Sigma EX DG primarily as a Macro lens on my Nikon D80, getting the net effect of a 105mm f/2.8 lens on the D80's APS-C sensor.

The build is excellent. The EX quality is evident. Smooth, quick AF.

Only negative is the screw-on lens hood...when not on camera you have to find a place to secure it, versus reversing and stowing on the lens itself like Sigma offers on its longer FL lenses...and Nikon offers on all lenses."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
