Amazon.com Product Description The Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras is a telephoto lens that offers excellent cost performance and is optimized for use with digital SLR cameras. Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300 millimeter focal length.

The lens features a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200 millimeters and 300 millimeters, with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2. The multi-layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghosting, which is a common problem with digital cameras, and it also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.

For the price - nothing can beat this lens August 21, 2008 Fuad Huseynov (Baki, Azerbaijan) Got this lens from Amazon about 3 months ago. Nothing can beat this lens in this price range. Very good macro, photos up to 200mm look great, reaching 300mm get softer. Great construction, very solid feel, a bit heavy, but I like it.
I like it August 8, 2008 G. Mortillaro (Gloucester, MA United States) This lens rocks. Granted i have to shoot on tripod when i use it. its pretty sharp. the focus is a little on the slow side and not very accurate to what you want in focus, but M focus works just fine. shooting macro is awesome i dig it. and its nice to be able to shoot animals with out scaring them away.
Wow! July 25, 2008 George I wasn't expecting too much, given the price, but the first shot I took, at the farthest zoom on a cloudy day- handheld- was perfect. The focus is a little soft, which I like, and the zoom ring is a little sticky, but-
not a bad lens July 3, 2008 dusty price (new mexico) I purchased the Sigma 70-300mm with some reservations but hoping for the best. I carefully read all the reviews I could find and finally decided that, for the price, it would be worth the risk. I am quite pleased with the performance of this lightweight lens! I took it to a soccer game hoping to get a few good shots. While I was not completely pleased with the close-ups (this can be fixed with a 2x), the clarity and sharpness of the pictures are remarkable. This lens can compete with other professional lenses easily. It is quick, easy to use, and definitely an excellent buy. Nice job, Sigma - I'll be looking at other products from this company!
Sigma 70-300 review June 30, 2008 E. Amo-Gottfried I was turned on to this product by another hobbiest and it has turned out to be an excellent buy.
