Sigma 70-300MM F/4-5.6 Dg Macro For Canon Eos

Maybe it all comes down to the individual users ability or the rest of their gear, but this is a great lens that takes great pictures. I bought this on the recommendations of four friends who are greatly enamored of this lens and I have zero regrets. I exhibit and do quite well and in my array of lenses I am down to one lone Canon lens ,having found that Sigma produces a level of lenses that rival any other manufacturer for a more sane price tag. Of course you give up the poseur trademark white lens housing but I''d rather my photos attract attention than my lens. The truth of the matter is EVERY lens can be nickpicked, EVERY lens! I''ve had L series lenses and they are excellent lenses but unless you want to exhaustively probe every photo you take forget the minutia and take those photos only you can take. The galleries I exhibit in and the clients who purchase my work neither know or care which lens I used-they only care about the image quality and what they see. Isn''t that what it''s all about? I love the weight and feel of this lens and it has yet to fail me- this isn''t Sigma''s greatest triumph but it sure beats the others in it''s class in my opinion and the image CLARITY sometimes astounds me.GO for it!

I would love to say something positive about this lens due to it`s nice price,but i just can`t..I wouldn`t recomend this lens to anyone.It produces just to soft images in both ends of zoom area.my old sigma 100-300mm f5.6-6.7 dl was infact much better allround,even though that was even an cheaper lens,and not made for slr camera`s at all.this was a very disapointing buy..save up some more dollars,and go for something else.
