Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG Macro
This lens is one of two virtually identical offerings from Sigma in the extremely popular 70-300 category in which almost all manufacturers have at least one contender. In the budget sector, this one, the DG version, is the lesser of the two offerings, but we make no apologies for repeating...
Pros:
- Reasonable optical performance for price
- Good close focus ability (1:2
- Light enough to carry all day
- Price
Cons:
- Long extension when close focussed and zoomed
- Front element and extension rotates during focussing
- Performance drops off at longer focal lengths

Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro review by thomasjohnlynch
I would agree with those who say this is an above average lens. My use is for ALL outdoors, sun, so fast shutter (no need for IS) and also I can take the high F need. All of these features of this lens mean it's a specialty lens. there are a lot of stuff in there and every element cuts it down.
Pros:
- price
- quality
- speed
Cons:
- no canon logo? maybe TOO complicated to work as GREAT lens

Sigma's 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG Macro is a compact telephoto zoom lens. With a range that is useful for candid portraiture, capturing children playing in the backyard, amateur sports or even wildlife at the zoo this lens is usually the lens that photographers reach for first.

Poor quality
I've had Sigma lenses before and they've always been good value for money. This lens is not good at all. Up to around 150mm the images are okay but nothing special. Beyond 200mm the lens just isnt up to much at all and at 300mm images arent up to scratch.
Pros:
- Nothing at all
Cons:
- Poor images

Simple Telezoom for starters
Value for money. Dont expect miraculous build and experience. For the money, this is hands down the best lens you cant get in this category.

For a d3100 best value amazing quality
Bought this for my nikon d3100 and what a hell of a difference this made to my sport photography. You can check that out at dc presidebts media page on Facebook the recent ones are with this and the quality and ease of this lens blows the standard one out the water

It Has A Great Zoom And At This Price
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.
