Sigma 90mm 2.8 Macro - DPChallenge Forums

I've found a used Sigma 90mm 2.8 Macro for Canon EOS. I don't see it in the DPC lens listings (i've put in a ticket.)

I went ahead and bought it because it looked pretty solid and was dirt cheap. I can return it if I don't like it.

Anyone have any experience with this lens?

I don't own it. I've seen one on ebay where the owner says it works great on his film camera, but admits that only works on his Rebel sometimes - and other times he gets err99 and/or the shutter won't work.

I hope it works for you. I'm dying to get a macro but am thinking I'll hold out for the sigma 70mm for canon.

Good luck :)

Any reason you don't want the Canon EF-S 60mm? I can heartily recommend it!

Just got a reply from Sigma. This lens will not work on the 20D and there is no fix for it. :-(

Thought I had a gem here.

Dang, sorry to hear that, scarbrd.

Splidge - honestly if the price were right I'd get any one of the these: Canon 60mm, Canon 100mm, Sigma 105mm, Tamron 90mm... It's just that I've recently been feeling wooed by the reviews of the new Sigma 70mm saying it's super-duper sharp. But thanks for the recommendation - if I get past window shopping I will certainly keep it in mind!

Is it just the 20D that it wont work on or will it not work on any of the DSLR's? If it would work on the 300D I would offer to buy it from you. What did you pay for it?

I don't think it works on any of the modern EOS digitals, although

skewsme says it worked on the original Rebel "sometimes". I wouldn't call that a ringing endorsement.

I paid $125.00 plus tax for it.
