Sigma 70 Macro vs Sigma 105 HSM Macro - ithopios - 03-07-2014
why in our test 70mm is better?
70mm: http://www.opticallimits.com/canon_eos_ff/559-sigma70ff28eosff?start=1
105mm: http://www.opticallimits.com/canon_eos_ff/743-sigma105f28oseosff?start=2
many people buy 105 version
but optically is better the 70?
I need to use that on Canon 600d
I can use this kind of lens also for other destination?
maybe to a portrait?
Many thanks!!!

The 70mm is one of the sharpest full frame lenses available (many tests show this). Which lens you choose is personal.
The 105mm OS has image stabilisation, a silent AF motor.
Personally I would choose the 70mm from these two, as I like the field of view better for close up stuff (on APS-C). Again, that is a personal choice. The 70mm is an excellent lens to also use for portraits, with its equivalent focal length to a full frame 112mm lens.
What is ideal for you, only you can figure out. Both are very good lenses, as are many other macro lenses from Tamrom (60/90/180mm), Sigma (70/105/150/180mm), Canon (100/180mm) and Tokina (35mm).
