  This question was originally asked about a year ago. I'm wondering if anybody has an update or opinion.

I am able to find individual reviews, but no direct comparison. The sigma is a little cheaper and overall, seems to be rated about the same.

  Percy: I have tested both. Both are very good lenses. However, for nature photography, I would always buy the longer Macro lens.

With a short macro lens, you need to get very! close to the subject. And you may cast a shadow on it, scare off an insect, etc.

All the best,
