Sigma f/2.8 Macro - An End of Year Deal

Here's a deal from the very reputable B&H Photo. I don't normally recommend uninvited such specific products and vendors, but a number of people have asked me about a 100 or 105 f/2.8 macro lens over the last two months. This is my customary recommendation, and here, such a deal. 45% off MSRP. It is also a superb portrait lens, the longer length than, say 60mm, allowing you to step back, not be in model's face, and yet get lovely "close ups." Perfect for both Full Frame and APS-C cropped cameras.

For a disclaimer, I have no association, other than as a client, with B&H in New York City. Their store is worth a visit though, any time you are in the city. Cameras and lenses take up the entire second floor, and most popular brands are on the floor for hands on, card and lens mounted, without having to ask specially.

@frankhymus
Thanks for sharing Frank. Do you know if these lenses are compatible with a Lumix GH4 micro four thirds?

@deborah63 Unfortunately, no. Your GH4 mounts Micro Four Thirds lenses. Here's one macro lens. I am sure there must be others.

It comes in at an "equivalent" 90mm angle of view, the "crop factor" of a micro four thirds camera is x2. I really am not familiar with this lens, but you can read the reviews and comments.
