I was skeptical of this lens when I saw its advertised price, so I spent some time researching it on the Internet to see how bad it was. To my surprise, I could only find positive comments!

A nice lens to hold and easy to operate. Very quick/quiet focus and zoom operation giving good clear results. A quality lens at a reasonable price.

I love this lens, it works better than the lens that came with my camera. Sharp focus, and almost instantaneous response make it a true winner.

Sharp Focus Well Designe; Works Well With The Camer; Focuses Swiftly

It is a good lens that fit my budget. I put together a low end Canon SLR kit with a 50D and I felt this lens is more than sufficient for my photographic abilities. The lens is light weight, easy to attach and looks good on the camera. I tried a few macro shots and they came out really well.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh

Blurry Focus; Lens Creep; Poor in Low Light; Slow Focus; Weak Casing

I bought this lens for my Rebel T1i to replace my Canon 55-250 IS. Compared to that one, this one has a longer reach: it is an EF mount so the 70-300 is more like 112-480 with the crop factor.

A wonderful lens for the Canon Digital SLR, this features the much appreciated macro function. Picture quality is top class and it enables great candid portraits. It also has a great zoom and at this price, is a total class product.

In this day and age, it's easy to write off any 'slow' telephoto zoom lens with an f/4-5.6 maximum aperture that doesn't have optical stabilisation. However, the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro still packs some impressive features at the price.

Great overall lens for the price. Came with a cover and a case. Due to the f-speed you must keep this lens very still to maintain a clear photo. A tripod would work best but a steady hand has sufficed this far. Great lens.

an unbelievable quality lens for its price, i dint think it would show as much of a quality image at such long zoom distances.
