Great value for money

"I'm using this lens for more than 6 months and more than 5 000 shots already fired. My opinion that this lens has a very good overall performance. Considering all the photos that I shot, about 80% of them are really good. Sharpness is great(lesser in extremes of 28mm and 300mm), but that's usual. Very useful zoom range, for general purposes, great for macro and portrait photography as well as wildlife and gettin..." Read Full Review »

Great lens for the price

"Bought this lens 4 years ago when I bought my D50. Was a great lens to learn off of and great focal length to cover any amateur and even slight pro photography needed.

"I bought this for trekking with my camera because of its wide range. The hope was to reduce lens changes which introduce dust into the camera sensor. I like the high quality feel (not "plasticy"), and the fact that the lens achieves the wide range without being large and heavy. It doesn't quite h …"  Read Full Review »

"I've been using this lens for a few weeks now, and and it's been a great replacement for my old 70-300mm. I always felt that the old lens left all of my images flat and soft at almost all focal lengths. This one isn't perfect, but it's a definite improvement. Quality seems to suffer at the longer en …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a very nice lens at a price that is very reasonable. It is sharp and clear, focuses quickly, and is a real pleasure to use. Because of the extreme range of this telephoto lens, it is not necessary to be changing lenses as often. The macro factor is a plus! I own several other Sigma lense …"  Read Full Review »
