The lens is an excellant choice for any photographer who wishes to capture nature or scenes from a distance while not disturbing the subject. The results have been excellant.

Sigma 70-300mm DG Macro
Sigma's 70-300mm has an impressive list of features but it also calls forth the warning that if something sounds too good to be true, then maybe that's exactly what it is. Its 70-300mm focal-length range may be more than many users will really need in an everyday tele-zoom but there is nothing wrong...
Pros:
- Multi-format image coverage
Cons:
- Very poor image quality at 300mm

Pros:

Cons:

REVIEW: 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

Good so far........
I haven't had a lot of time to play with the new lens yet to list any pros and cons. I am happy so far and the price is GREAT compared to other lenses. Very easy to exchange the lenses on the camera body.

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
