Sigma 70-300 MM DG Macro a Quality Lens

Not to confuse with the Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro the DG Macro is the cheaper version of this style of lens. The pictures are sharp but, the color boque of the optics is lacking. Sigma lens's are built ruggedly sound and, the one I bought works great. I have Nikon cameras D70,D200 and,D5200. I prefer Sigma len's over any non Nikon lens. For the price you really cannot beat the quality. I also own a 150-500 mm HSM OS from Sigma too. If you cannot afford a high end lens of this type. This Sigma lens would be my choice and so there you have it......................I guess that's why I purchased this lens..Read full review

Worth the money spent

I picked this up for $139.00 and took this lens out on a 500 frame shoot the day after I got it.

It focuses fast and quietly, without even a hiccup. Seems to be solid and well made.

Looking closely at the quality of the photos revealed a bit chromatic aberration or color fringing on some of the brighter shots. The sharpness left a little to be desired as well.

Verdict: It's not a Zeis lens, but it does not purport itself to be. If you are looking for a nice entry level 70-300 mm you you cold do a lot worse.

Great Lens for the money. Purchased it for my wife, she's very happy with the performance!

I did do spec checks in comparison to the Tamron lens of the same specs. The Sigma scored slightly better in one of 5 category. It also rated a lower end Nikon zoom all were basically the same except the Sigma was slightly better in one category. She was looking for the macro feature which the Nikon didn't have. Her previous zoom was the Tamron but she accidently banged it getting out a car and so the auto focus stopped working. She had been pleased with the Tamron lens. I have used Sigma lenses in the past and I thought we'd give it a try and the results have been quite good. Read full review

Sigma 70-300 mm lens

Good versatility for the price. It is not quite as solid or smooth operationally as the Nikor lens that came with the camera, but for the price, it is doing a great job as I learn how to use it.

Sigma 70-300 mm lens

Awesome lens straight out the box. Auto focus works great on Nikon D60 and it is super smooth. Great Lens so far so I'm excited to get out and use it.

Great value

I use it for product-type shots in a studio and the quality of the macro shots is great. I took off 1/2 star because its AE only and I had to trade it for a manual exposure version, and I took off 1/2 star because the fit isn't tight enough in the mount for my liking.Read full review

Careful with dx camera bodies.

This is a great lens! But be careful autofocus won't work on lower end camera bodies.

Amazing chance to get this lense, but the auto focus doesn't work fine.
