Sigma EX APO DG 70-200mm F2.8 | | Latest Review Posted | Sigma DG Macro 28-300mm F3.5-6.3
I found this lens in a pawn shop for 40.00 in great like new shape so I grabbed it. Here is a photo of my neighbors cat in a tree at 300 zoom hand held about 20 yards away . I am no photographer ,I'm still learning but I like it. I find its very easy to use on my Pentax K10D. Taken at ISO 100, f13,1/90 sec . 300mm. As far as needing light I think that any lens that you can set at f13 and be really bright at a 1/90 of a sec with your ISO set at 100 as low as it will go is a good lens. ,I just don't think you can ask for more than that especially at full 300mm zoom so you don't really need to worry about carrying around a tripod for that 300 zoom shot. I know that f13 was over kill for this shot but I wanted to show how much light was coming in at that setting . I don't like to go below 1/90 because I know for me with the shake reduction on I can hold it still enough to get a sharp photo at 1/90. My k10D shows noise at 400 ISO so I keep it set on auto from 100 to 200 ISO. limit . So with a lot of lens I have to set the f stop at the wide open setting just to get it to 1/90 of a sec, but I don't have to do that on this lens I can choose what DOF I want down to f13 and even f16 If I have something I can rest on .But F13 is a really big DOF. at anything 50 yards away at 300mm zoom setting. If you can find this lens for under 200.00 I think it worth it. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/2011-pentaxk10duser/albums/7690-pic-s-sigma-28-300-dg/picture68078.jpg | |
