Sigma 150 2.8 Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro

[NewbieInCS]

Can anyone tell me if this lens "breathes" like the nikon 105?
i.e. Does the subject image size change in the viewfinder as you are acquiring focus at macro range?
TIA.

The focal length decreases as you go closer. Most 1:1 macro lens have this issue, cheap or expensive. The sigma 150mm does decrease slightly more than the others though.

Thanks for the updated review link. I'd only seen reviews if the non OS version up till now.

I'm still considering it, am sure its rare fault... but still... a little scared of this lens, and Sigma now....

( or I wait for an updated 200mm MICRO f4 Nikkor.... perhaps forever !! )
