It's the ideal lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.

High optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range. The lens features a switch that converts the lens to macro photography at focal lengths between 200 millimeters and 300 millimeters, with a minimum focusing distance of 37.4 inches. In normal mode the minimum focusing distance is 59.1 inches at all zoom settings.

Sigma 70mm F/2.8 EX DG Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras CustomerReview
I purchased this lens about three months ago so I've had plenty of time to give it a thorough testing.
Pluses:
- this lens gives me nice sharp pictures from f/2.8 to around f/18
- great soft bokeh at f/2.8
- unlike the reviewer of June 2009, my lens DOES shoot at f/2.8 even when I am 2-3 inches from a subject at 1:1 macro
- very solid construction. I had the lens roll off of my fanny pack about 4 inches to a gravel surface. Didn't bother it at all.
- no perceptible lens creep (even pointed vertically down)unlike my Tamron 18-250.
- nice price (I paid 9.00)
Minuses:
- the weird screw on lens hood!!! Sigma needs to really rethink this design.
- the need to move my position not zoom the lens (oops! that's a minus on me for being too used to zoom lenses)
On the strength of this lenses pluses, I am considering purchasing, at least, one other Sigma lens in the near future.
I am a semi-professional shooting on a Canon 40D (soon to be 5D Mark II)
