| Latest Review Posted | Sigma AF DL Macro 70-300mm F4-5.6
With helpful support from the users “Pentaxforums lens reviews” I saw the valuable quality ofthis lens and tried to get one - having success for 50 EUR on EBay.
I´m surprised by the excellent image-quality and can reverify all the results ofthe “lens reviews”. This “old” construction beats comparable newer lenses in every single optical category. It is sharp, brings fine colours and is a good base for supplementary editing.
The built quality is well and robust, focus works without claims. But if you try to catch small and moving objects AF can get out-off target. In this case better setting MF (Manual-Focus), pre-select zoom and focus and balance manually.
The zoomring works a little stiff with inhomogeneous torque but this is probable a fact due to the old age of the lens.
Maybe that a prime lens in the > 1000 EUR -class is an optimal solution but for anyonewho do not play in this league this lens is superb.
Meanwhile this is my favorite lens and I placed a 2nd in stock. |
