How many versions of this lens are there? Have seen two dif. pics of lens. Switches look dif. and in dif. places. Thanks, Steve.

I think there are 2 - with and without optical stabilization. I have the one without OS which works just fine on a tripod for wildflowers (you don't use OS with a tripod anyway). The 150 mm focal length is a little much to use for handheld macros anyways IMHO! A very sharp optic.

There are two versions - the OS (optical stabilized) and the non-OS versions. The non-OS version is somewhat smaller and lighter, and a bit over half the price of the OS version. Both are very sharp lenses, and are quite good for macro work as well as portrait work. The longer 150mm focal length is particularly good for focusing on live critters such as insects; you can get further away and perhaps not scare them off! The OS does help with portrait work, but usually you turn the OS off and use manual focus for macro work. Personally I have the OS version and am quite happy with it.

I think that there are two models. One of them is without OS (Optical Image Stabilization) and the other is with OS. Os is an important feature in order to take macro pictures.

I would go to the website and see what info you can find there. They may have both lenses there. You can also try to go to a photo review site such as Ken Rockwell to see what they have to say.

There are a number of things that could be happening. . . . is it blurry image, or camera shake. . . have you shot anything that is sharp. . . this is a very heavy lens and requires a bit of expertise to handle. . . . let's eliminate the obvious before jumping to conclusions about the lens. . . . my email address is bobglicksmith@me.com. . . send me an email and I'll be glad to setup a time to talk with you . . . . bgs.

I don't recall which one I got, but the picture quality is very good for this lens. The picture stabilization on/off button doesn't show any noticeable quality improvement for me. Need to keep checking.

Ben, I wouldn't buy this lens. I have had two and they both developed the same internal problems. Very poor manufacturing.

I cannot answer that question. I think most lenses are interchangeable, but go to the manufacture's web site. Wish I could help you, my friend. I'll say this, it's a GREAT lens for the price. They sent me two by accident. If you want one, I'll sell you mine for $10 if you pay postage.

Yes it is. Actually, I'm thinking about selling this lens. I've used it a total of 2 times. I've found that I just don't use it. You may want to contact me.

Thanks for the info. I figured that out , finally. Don't know who gave me the misinformation about exchanging lenses, but I purchased the K-7 with the proper lens. Thanks again.

This is the first 10-100mm lens I have ever bought and I purchased it specifically for a Nikon 1 J3 so I did not 'shop it' at all. I am very happy w/the lens but am not conversant enough to explain why. Sorry.

Hi Chris,Is this lens new or used? Because as of today it's malfunctioning while zooming in-out

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

It looks like they used the wrong image when they did the ad. They seem to have 2 or 3 ads for that lens. I do love mine it OS a great walk around lens.

I wasn't aware Sigma made this same lens in a "macro" version? Becarefull believing the discriptions as some "used" products are misrepresented. Any how, macro will allow for a shorter minimum focus distance. Good luck

I only really used one lens and that was ok. never checked the others. but I will now. sorry I didn't have the answer.

Hi I'm just wondering. Does this lens come with a warranty if I buy it off Amazon? Sorry, am new here.

This is a question to ask a specific seller about a specific lens. This venue is better for questions about the model of lens itself.

Thanks Branden, I didn't think it was a "macro" lens, but wanted to ask. I'm planning on buying this lens when ever I decide I can afford a $1,000 lens. I've since purchased the Canon 60mm EF-S Macro lens and like it very much.
