| Latest Review Posted | Sigma AF DL Macro 70-300mm F4-5.6
It seemed like good value for money as a new lens back in the Nineties but, on the whole, I found this lens rather disappointing.
Contrast was low, which is more acceptable now that can be corrected in software but was much less acceptable in the days of film. The tendency of the autofocus to hunt made it less than useful at the long end, it almost invariably wasn't quick enough to capture the moment.
As for the build quality, it started falling apart in my hands - I never used it that much and certainly never abused it so I wasn't impressed. I stopped taking it out with me and eventually put it in a charity shop. |
