I'm loving this lens (180mm sigma f2.8 macro).I'm learning there is a learning curve with long macros. First a really stable tripod n head are a must for consistently sharp pics. Learn how to use this lens and it produces fantastic pictures. The autofocus has a learning curve also. I've been shooting macro, portraits, football, nature/animals, the moon and some landscape/sunsets. This is such a versital lens. I researched many lenses before deciding on this one. Was going to get a 70/200 Nikon f4. So glad I didn't. Yes 70mm would come in handy but the 18.5"close focus allows for versatility. (For me) The switches on the side are so easy to use without looking. I thought it would be tough. I do sometimes bump the lens to manusl focus when shooting.Does great sun stars too. Love the color for portraits in the evening light. But it you'll love it. Build quality seems great. Aesthetically beautiful .
