The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro EX DG HSM is a consumer-level macro lens. It is constructed with a plastic body and a metal mount. This lens features a distance window with magnification scale. A nine-blade, maximum aperture of f/2.8 gives this lens the ability to create very shallow depth of field effects.
