 I like it August 8, 2008
This lens rocks. Granted i have to shoot on tripod when i use it. its pretty sharp. the focus is a little on the slow side and not very accurate to what you want in focus, but M focus works just fine. shooting macro is awesome i dig it. and its nice to be able to shoot animals with out scaring them away.
Wow! July 25, 2008
I wasn't expecting too much, given the price, but the first shot I took, at the farthest zoom on a cloudy day- handheld- was perfect. The focus is a little soft, which I like, and the zoom ring is a little sticky, but-
 not a bad lens July 3, 2008
I purchased the Sigma 70-300mm with some reservations but hoping for the best. I carefully read all the reviews I could find and finally decided that, for the price, it would be worth the risk. I am quite pleased with the performance of this lightweight lens! I took it to a soccer game hoping to get a few good shots. While I was not completely pleased with the close-ups (this can be fixed with a 2x), the clarity and sharpness of the pictures are remarkable. This lens can compete with other professional lenses easily. It is quick, easy to use, and definitely an excellent buy. Nice job, Sigma - I'll be looking at other products from this company!
Sigma 70-300 review June 30, 2008
I was turned on to this product by another hobbiest and it has turned out to be an excellent buy.
 Not for me! June 26, 2008
I had read many 'glowing' reviews re: this lens...so I ordered it. I even ck'd out some photos people had sent in, esp the sports photos. I couldn't believe the clarity! HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT MY EXPERIENCE. Firstly, no one person mention they ever used a tripod for the longer length. Some even mentioned the camera was 'handheld'. Well I found I could not take NOT ONE decent shot over 200 mm and not have it out of focus. Certainly setting up a tripod each time is not practical unless you're into nature photography. Thats why the pictures of sports interested me. So I sent it back and determined to stick w/ a max of 200 focal length. Seriously considering Sigma 18-200 but would like to come down in price. I applaud those that took shots at 250-300 mm but apparently thats not for me.
Well constructed. Sorry it didn't work out for my Canon 350D. Nice macro.
