    Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

    Amazon.com

    The Sigma APO 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras is a telephoto zoom lens with tele-macro functionality. Optimized for digital cameras, this high-performance lens has two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements in the front lens group and one in the rear lens group. It is able to shoot with maximum magnification 1:2 at the focal length of 300 millimeters. It's the ideal lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.

    The multi-layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital cameras, and it also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range. High optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range. The lens features a switch that converts the lens to macro photography at focal lengths between 200 millimeters and 300 millimeters, with a minimum focusing distance of 37.4 inches. In normal mode the minimum focusing distance is 59.1 inches at all zoom settings.

    Good, cheap lens
    4 Stars
    Good, cheap lens
    To extoll the resolution or AF abilities of a lens this cheap would almost be disingenuous. If you buy this lens expecting 'L' quality and are subsequently disappointed, you have no one to blame but yourself. But if you're like me, and buy the lens because of its price point and based off of hundreds of example photos on sites like flickr, then you will likely be happy with your purchase, because you simply know what to expect.You can easily read a pro review and come up with the same information many others have expounded on here in the Amazon review section: the af is not particularly fast, and when it misses, it's by a lot. It has a tendency to be somewhat all over the place, especially when shooting macro. The af is loud. The aperture range ain't great. The sharpness at 300mm isn't anything to write home about.The thing about the negatives though is that you absolutely must weigh a product like this with its price in mind. That said, here are my list of positives (lens on the front of a Canon 5d mk ii):-70-300mm is a fabulous range, covering a huge amount of distance. This makes the lens a good walk-around companion, especially for a nature photog on the cheap who needs such range.-AF is slow, but not abysmal. While I'd question its viability for fast-moving sports with lots of players, it does just fine for the most part. Sure, it can get squirrel-y at macro range, but you should be using manual focus for that anyway.-300mm is absolutely useable. On my first outing with this lens, I had quite a few keepers at 300m, that were sharp enough to print a large size and be completely happy with the results. Sure, the sharpness drops off at 300mm. No question. And at that range you need a darn steady hand or a really fast shutter speed to keep things clear. But if you take your time, and utilize the correct settings and/or a tripod, you'll be pleasantly surprised.-1:2 macro capability is great for this type of lens. You only get that at 300mm, but again, this lens is less than $200, and has a ridiculous zoom range. The fact that you can get 1:2 out of it at all is pretty fabulous.-It's less than $200.So is it a 5-star lens? Nope. But considering the price/quality ratio, I feel quite comfortable giving it 4.
