4 out of 5 stars Good quality, but lacks some features.......2007-12-27

This lens does everything it advertises. It takes sharp macro shots and works superbly as a telephoto. As with other telephotos, you'll need a tripod to make use of this lens.

My only complaints are the lack of IS and the tight aperture. At 300mm it only opens to f/5.6; this does limit your ability to shoot in low light, but can be mitigated with a tripod. Don't plan on night time action shots, though.

Given the choice, I'd buy it again. For the price this is an excellent lens that fills two slots in my bag. It's worth noting that the lens comes with a protective carrying bag and a lens hood.

5 out of 5 stars Terrific buy for your first telephoto lens.......2007-12-18

I've been using the 18-55 kit lens on my Rebel XT for over a year now and picked up this telephoto lens. Since there are hundreds of reviews on all aspects of the lens I will not repeat a lot. To summarize, I found this lens VERY easy to use and the pictures extremely sharp. Worked out of the box perfectly with my Rebel XT. The focusing motor is a bit buzzy but not much to bother about at all, zoom ring is easy to use and I did NOT find it hard to turn all the way to 300mm as some were saying.

Autofocus does NOT hunt and is NOT particularly slow..it's about the same as the kit lens, not sure what people are talking about, perhaps they are unfairly comparing it to a ultrafast professional grade Canon lens 5 times the price which is not exactly a fair comparison. After reading reviews I was expecting very poor autofocus performance but I was pleasantly surprised because indoors with minimal light I was able to autofocus just fine with zero issues! Bokeh at 200mm was quite nice!

Quality and finish are very nice and the bag it comes in is a bonus! A word of caution, you should switch the lens to MANUAL FOCUS before you attach the lens hood because otherwise you will turn the focus motor manually which could damage it.

It's a beautiful little unit and highly recommended! I am extremely happy with my purchase. I think it's one of the best buys in it's class/price point and the perfect choice for a first telephoto lens.

5 out of 5 stars For the Price, Fabulous.......2007-11-29

Worked better than I expected it to. All you need is good lighting and you're set.

5 out of 5 stars A near-favorite lens with one long-distance exception.......2007-12-11

This lens is highly regarded, and for good reason. Those who argue that Nikkor lenses are the only ones worth buying should take a look at the close-up images that this lens can capture. If you search for sample images (try searching Flickr tags) you will see some stunning examples. Close-ups are razor sharp and bokeh is smooth and pleasant.

The focus ring is easy to find and is usable in manual mode. At points the zoom ring can get a bit stiff (such as around 200mm). The barrel extends to nearly double its collapsed length, so don't bump into anything at full zoom. Build quality feels rather solid.

There is, however, a catch. Image softness occurs near full zoom at infinity. So, I might not recommend this lens as strongly if your intent is to use it for a lot of distance zoom scenarios (such as, say, sports photography).

Given the price, this is an absolutely fantastic lens despite this soft focus limitation. If you're on a budget and need a good zoom, put this on your short list.

5 out of 5 stars Very well made........2007-11-16

I have used this lens indoors and have been happy with results. I took photographs recently at my child's indoor school activity. I used an old flash (a Nikon SB-M set at non-TTL auto) mounted on a film camera Nikon F75. The result were sharp, well exposed pictures!

Using this lens indoors with flash, try not to get fancy with depth-of-field nor zoom. Keep your aperture at its widest possible: f/4 at 70mm and f/5.6 at 300mm. Check your flash's shooting distance and shoot within that. As a rule of thumb when using this indoors, the head and foot of a standing adult person should be just at the borders of the viewfinder (vertical or horizontal.) Even an old non-TTL SB-M can handle the task of lighting that properly. If you really need to zoom in, just make sure you're still shooting within the flash's shooting distance, keep to the widest aperture (f/5.6 at 300mm) or use a more powerful flash gun. The len's so-called slow focus and slow opening at low-light indoors isnt peculiar to this lens alone. Subject flash illumination is still controlled by aperture, flash shooting distance and sync speed- facts which are applicable to any other lens. Dedicated flash units have been handling flash exposures at f/5.6, f/8 even f11 (using faster films) without any problems for years! This len's maximum opening of "only" f/5.6 is not a liability at all. Within this range, you can satisfactorily use it indoors with flash as much as you like.

Now if you want to use only available light indoors, you need to spend more money to get those constant f/2.8 aperture zooms. Or better yet, just buy the classic Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D AF, zoom with your feet and save tons of cash!

At f/8, this lens is very sharp on all focal lengths. If light permits (as when outdoors) keep that aperture. Having said that, I have yet to be disappointed with pictures taken at wide open apertures when light level is low. The macro pictures are also very good. One thing you need to be careful though is the way Sigma implement macro shooting in this lens. You must first move the zoom ring between 200 and 300mm then push the macro switch. It will resist macro switching when you attempt to push it while on focal lengths other than mentioned, so dont force it. Also when you need to return from macro to normal, be careful. There is a short white line along the distance scale which determines the limit when you can switch it back to normal. The other limit is the infinity mark. Between this white line and infinity mark you can switch back to normal. It will also resist otherwise. This is what they meant by fiddly macro switch. At least the 1:2 reproduction ratio is available, than not at all.

This is a very well built lens mechanically and optically. As the other reviewer pointed out, it suggests pro quality. Consider very carefully what you are buying, your level of patience, your budget and your intended use for the lens. Its mode of operation may not be to your liking. One thing I dont like is the total length of the lens when fully zoomed and when at 1:2 macro. Too long in my opinion.

Still for the asking price, this is money well-spent for me. Four and a half-stars!

4 out of 5 stars Good lens for the price.......2007-10-12

I bought this lens two weeks ago. I just tested it two days ago. I posted my picture on sharing photo under the lens picture. In my opinion it's a pretty good lens with the price. Focusing speed might be alittle slower than Nikon lens but again you can't beat the price. This lens was manufactured in Japan. So I think it's pretty reliable. So far I love it. OHH one more thing this lens is not good for low light. You need alot of light and tripod to capture a good pic.

4 out of 5 stars Sweet.......2007-10-01

sweet product but then again if it was crappy i would not have bought it. discs are a little stiff when zooming, focus is crisp, IF would be nice but it is more $, and the macro switch makes for quicker focusing in AF, overall a very nice lens and pretty well built. god bang for your buck.

also for those that do not know...

digital cameras have a greater reproduction ratio, because the CCD is smaller than 35mm film, thus on a digital camera, other than nikon's new D3 have a 1.5 reproduction ratio, this lens acts as an 105mm-450mm

5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good........2007-06-06

I purchased this lens expecting something with acceptable but not high quality optics. Instead I got a lens with excellent optics, very good construction and a far better value that I thought possible. Very low distortion and excellent color correction. Good sharpness for either digital or full frame film imaging. Smooth zoom mechanism and fast focusing.

2 out of 5 stars Sigma 70-300 ups and downs.......2007-04-21

This range just does not seem to have a really good lens on the market right now and hopefully one of the companies who makes K mount lenses will do something about the problem. If I had it to do again I would buy a fixed lens at 300 or 400 in a manual focus lens.

5 out of 5 stars Worth far more than you'll pay!.......2007-04-20

I've owned this lens for about a year and use it on a *istDS. Used in good light, the focusing is quick and accurate. My pictures are sharp wide open or stopped down... doesn't matter. I just returned from a vacation where I took many bird pictures and I can't see how the definition in the feathers could be any better.

No, it isn't an f/2.8 lens, so don't expect miracles in low light. Still, it does an acceptable job here, too. Macro function is good, but the switch can be difficult to move back out of macro mode.

The size and weight are reasonable. It is well worth the weight, space and effort to take on multi day hikes in the deep woods. Been there - happy I had it. Zoom in on the big animals far away or close in on the bugs and flowers.

I'm sure that there are slightly better lenses out there, but not for anywhere near this price. To me, it's easily worth twice what I paid for it. I'm extremely happy to have this lens in my bag! For the function and price, easily 5 stars.

4 out of 5 stars disappointed with auto focus.......2007-03-23

When I manually focus the lens the picture is of very good quality but the auto focus does not work very well at any distance

4 out of 5 stars Nice images, little slow and heavy, weird macro switch.......2007-01-15

The picture quality is good, the macro mode is great despite a really weird macro switch... It's hard to switch off the macro mode, you have to play with the zoom first (macro works only from 200 to 300).
The lens is quite heavy but it's OK for such a zoom lens, autofocus is not the fastest especially in low light but works fine for the price!
Be careful not to touch the AF hood when using it in AF or you'll be scared by the noise...
A good lens overall.

4 out of 5 stars Very nice.......2007-01-05

I really like this lens...i agree with almost everything oin the previous post, especially the part about the marco switch. That switch is the only real negative side to this lens. Don't know why it keeps getting stuck?! It always scares me when it happens.

Overall a really nice lens though. Smooth and rather fast operation.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Lens - I now won't settle for less magnification.......2007-07-04

    I really like being able to have the extra 100mm focal length beyond the traditional 200 or 210mm. I have used it numerous times in conjunction with the image stabilization of my Sony A100 to get some shots I could not have previously obtained (including shots of Alaskan whales). Also, the lens survived landing on asphalt with its UV lens protector becoming history. I removed the protector and was amazed to find that the lens still worked perfectly!

    1 out of 5 stars Poor packaging.......2007-06-30

    This lens was not packaged securely and was knocking around during transit in an oversized box. Very dissapointed and now worried if damage was done and will this lens last long. Never again with this place.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2007-03-29

    I found the lens to be unacceptably noisy in zoom operation. Also did not like just how much the zoom extended.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent in its class.......2007-01-12

    Performs well for this class of lens, and really can't be beaten for the price. Fine for macro work when you can be a meter or so from your subject (you'll need a tripod or steady hands + image stabilization); sometimes this is actually a plus (i.e. for subjects that you can't or don't want to get close to like easily frightened insects). AF tends to hunt a little but is very useable except in low light.

    The combination of image quality, wide range, and macro capability at THIS PRICE is why I would rate it 5 stars. I'm pleased with my own results, and after reading tons of reviews of this and its competition, I'm convinced there is no better deal if a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is what you're looking for.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent and versatile lens.......2007-01-06

    I purchased this lens as a potential lightweight replacement for my old Minolta 75-300 (the big beercan). I shoot with a Konica Minolta 5D. The Minolta is an excellent lens, but heavy and lacking some sharpness beyond 250mm. The Sigma is at least the equal of it in picture quality, it's much lighter, and it adds an excellent macro capability...1:2 magnification at 300mm. The only drawbacks is that the zoom ring is rather tight and tends to stick, and the lens can hunt for focus in dim lighting (but so did the Minolta). This lens, coupled with a standard zoom, like the Minolta/Sony 18-70 kit lens, the Minolta 24-85, or the Sigma 17-70, makes an excellent, inexpensive, lightweight, 2 lens kit that provides coverage from 17/24 to 300mm with excellent macro capability to boot. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Great lens for the price........2007-06-26

    As others have said, this is a great value. If you're looking for a cheap macro lens with a good zoom, this is the one. It does need a lot of light and the auto-focus sounds like a dying robot, but it works well for the intended uses.

      5 out of 5 stars Great prosumer lens.......2007-02-08

      I really like this lens -very versatile. I use it on a Konica-Minolta 5D, which I will upgrade to a Sony when they improve the noise issue. Back to the lens - sharp as a tack. Best aperature is about 5.6 at the wide end for sharpness, and f8 at the long end. Macro mode is rather awsome - good stand off, and fast enough to blur the background. Auto focus is quite fast and accurate, though not as quiet as a Nikon, for instance. With a 1.4x extender it provides an excellent "reach" for little money. Did I mention it is a superior optic? Nicely done, Sigma. Recommended.
