| Latest Review Posted | Sigma DG Macro 70-300mm F4-5.6
I rate this lens 10 because it is great for its price.
I have used this lens quite a bit on my K5 and I like it. I use it in situation where I need different focal for fast subjects. For example, it is very convenient in amusement parks and animal shows. The AF is very fast and pictures are ok. So, I am very satisfied with the results.
My copy is decent sharp at all focal lengths. I got excellent results, very sharp at 70 mm, not as sharp as my FA77 but enough. It is weaker beyond 200 mm, but it can still give acceptable results even at 300mm in good light.
It shows some CA in situations with high contrast but it is easily corrected in PP.
The front element rotates during focus. This is problematic with filters.
I never got a macro shot that I really like with this lens, so I would not recommend it for that.
It is light, cheap and very efficient in good light, so I recommend it as a very useful zoom. |
