@mackidd51 depend on what you want to do with macro lens. 180mm is indeed to much for product or flower but it is well enough for bugs, such as bee or butterfly. 60~100mm is more fitting for flower and product. Since you have a crop sensor 180x 1.5= 270mm. The focal length for a macro is nothing but working distance. with 180mm you can achieve a 1:1 magnification at a longer working distance, such as~30cm compared to ~10cm when using 60mm macro lens

@rongthienco thank you so much! Hope you don't mind if I ask another question, my Camera is a crop sensor, 60D, 150mm will it be too far for me? Tamron so far my friends around me recommended me SP90

That sigma 150mm looks so much bigger than my canon 100mm

[rongthienco]

@mackidd51 depend on your pocket and what you want to do with it :D sigma 150 may cost a bit more but you have longer working distance. the sigma's 150mm macro's quality is just a little less then a canon lens :) there is also an alternative if you want to save money for ring flash which is absolute needed. You can buy the tamron 180mm macro :) good result for good money :))

@hanzeln : I appreciate your suggestion. Thanks a lot.

[essellar]

@saralsth No. When you're talking about macro lenses used for macrophotography, the focal length has more to do with the working distance than anything else. Shorter lenses mean you need to be closer to the subject to get the same magnification (and all 1:1 macro lenses will produce the same sized image on the sensor at their closest focus distance). They will be different with general-purpose photography -- the 150 won't provide the same perspective for the same framing for portraits, etc.

@sh1monn because its the one for "pros" and its the best! 

[hanzeln]

@tapasmallick the best over  all its nikon whit out question but its the expensive one ... buy try second hand pawn shops ebay.... after that go for the sigma, the cheaper its tamron

Dear AdoramaTv / Mark Wallace,

Comparing with the Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro with Canon 100mm L F2.8, any comments on it ? Was sitting whole day at home watching non stop of your videos, love it!
