For the price it's great! I love this lens, for the price i think it's amazing! Bought this the next day and haven't looked back. Would recommend to anyone looking for a budget zoom. Great price for a starter lens for my daughter.

This lens is excellent for people wanting to buy a good, yet affordable, telephoto lens. This is a distinct advantage when you are working near a beehive. I like its tele capabilities but the macro is really awesome too!

The sigma 70-300 apo is a workhorse lens with good clarity and no color fringing. When compared to the canon lenses that are on the same level and price point, this is * for tat. This lense is worth the purchase.

    Focusing is loud and i mean really loud but not as bad as my really cheap 50mm

    If you are planning on sneaking up on bambi to get a shot you better switch to manual


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The is sharp around f8 but anything lower than that will disappoint also shooting at the full 300mm images will be very soft ie trying to get a bird at a distance

    I was sent the wrong lens same type different model and i received a nikon mount


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant imagine how the actual model listed works in comparison

    The only down side is that it doesnt lock when closed so the telephoto slides out on its own when the camera faces down


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
