I just received it and I can't wait to use it at the Kids games this weekend. I have owned Sigma lens in the last and loved them. The test shots with my Nikon 3000 I have taken around the house and out doors are great.

Consistent Output; Durable; Great picture; Great price; Strong Construction; Worked great on first try

A bit loud

It is not an L series lens that I cannot afford yet and it is not as powerful for birds as I had hoped. However,it is well constructed, it has very good glass, it takes pictures that I can be proud of over a decent focal range, it extends me past my Canon 28-135mm (which I adore), and with enough...

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Durable; Good Color Value; Powerful

A little heavy; A little slow

I shoot with a Nikon and this was the first lens I bought(Aside from the default lens, obviously). This lens has fantastic zooming and Macro settings. I can easily switch from Auto to Manual and yes, okay, it makes noise when it focuses.

The first 50 images I shot with this lens were overly soft. As I worked more with the lens the images improved dramatically. I typically start in manual mode and begin testing based upon what I know about light and exposure (which I'm learning slowly over time).

versatile; excellent macros; pleasant images

soft in some cases; slow optically

Jag tycker att denna produkt håller bra klass, och är prisvärd. Objektivet är skönt att hålla i och man får bra grepp. Produkten har hållt än så länge i alla fall, jag har haft den i ca. 9 månader. Bra val om du vill fota både macro och landskap, men inte har råd att köpa 2 objektiv.

Man kan använda denna som både ett zoom och ett macro, och det är inte speciellt tungt heller; Blir skarpa bilder, kan bli lite skakiga om man har längre slutartid, men oftast har man ju ett stativ när man fotar närbilder och landskap som detta objektiv passar bra till.

Har inte inbyggd bildstabilisator, vilket vissa kan tycka är lite dumt, men jag tycker det funkar mycket bra utan; Om man ska fota macro är närgränsen lite störande eftersom den är på 1.5 meter.

Coming from Sigma's DG range, this 70-300mm optic is suitable for film and digital sensors up to 35mm in size

Reasonable performance throughout the range

Some sharpness fall off in the corners

I bought this lens with a specific purpose in mind - photographing model aircraft in flight. I had previously used a Canon 80-200 mm which I found a bit too limiting at the long end of the range - an excellent lens, but not quite right for the job. The Sigma came with its own lenshood and case.

Good value for money; versatile

No image stabilisation

not top end quality, but will give you good results all round

great for wildlife

a little slow to focus
