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. It's the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range. 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. The minimum focusing distance is 59 inches at all zoom settings. 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. Without changing the distance between camera and subject, you can change the shooting magnification.

From the Manufacturer

This is a telephoto zoom lens with excellent cost performance, for it is capable of macro photography with a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300 mm focal length. It also has a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200 mm and 300 mm. The minimum focusing distance is 1.5 m/59 inches at all zoom settings. We used SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. And, we effectively corrected for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. It is the ideal lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range.

nice quality lens, sturdy body. Just wouldn't recommend for video. Only for stills images on tripod cuz' it doesn't have Image Stabilization. If you are going to shoot stills in a tripod (not cam in hands) , then go for it

Excelente calidad de lente, bien construido, de cuerpo duro. Solo que no lo recomendaría para video. Solo para fotos porque no tiene Estabilización de imagen. Si vas a disparar solo fotos en trípode (no cámara en mano) entonces ve por él.

Best Bang for the buck...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2010

Style: Nikon SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

Ok, so to start off, I am in no way anything but an beginner at DSLR photography. I need a lens for my d5000 that would be able to get distance shots at Civil War and WWII reenactments that I love to go to and watch. I looked around for a bit reading reviews and was trying to decide between this and the Nikon 55-200mm lens that is priced around $200. The $60 price difference was not a big deal to me but I did like the fact the the Sigma lens went up to 300mm instead of 200mm. At many of the reenactments, you can not get very close and I felt that I might need the extra stretch. Well, I went ahead and got the Sigma thinking that if I didn't like it I would return it and get the Nikon. The VR was the one thing I wanted that the Sigma did not have. Well I found that not to be a very big issue at all. I got the lens and was off to a WWII reenactment in middle TN and took nearly 600 shots with this lens. I only had about 30 or so that were blurry from shaking that the VR would have fixed. Not bad in my book. The Auto Focus motor was pretty fast at finding focus for me and I got 100's of great shots. Were they as clear and crisp as a $1000 plus zoom lens? No, but for $150 I am more then happy with what I got and feel I got more then my moneys worth. If you are just beginning or on a budget, this is a great lens. As I only will be using this lens about 3-4 times a year, I did not feel that I needed to spend way more for great Zoom lens though I know they are out there. I do mostly macro photography of mini war diorama's. The macro feature on this lens is ok but I will stick with my trusty Nikon 50mm for most of my work. I used it a bit and liked having Auto focus which my 50mm does not have, but think the Nikon was way crisper for my purposes. IMHO, one of the best bank for the buck lens out. And a great budget backup for you pros that need a lot of zoom.

Good For The Price

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2022

Style: Nikon SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

This is one of Sigma's Basic Lenses and I bought it used in solidly above average condition. So I wound up paying only $ 55 plus sales tax for an item which would cost about $ 225 brand new. It arrived in less than a week and the condition of the item was at least B+ to A-.

The auto focus procedure causes a slight grinding noise but I've read this is to be expected with this grade of Sigma product.

The pictures I've taken are of solid quality. I would have considered this a good buy at $ 225. The fact that I only had to pay 1/4 of that made this a very sweet deal.

Yay Sigma / Yay Amazon !!!

Great for beginners

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2014

Style: Nikon SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

Pros:
+ Reasonable price. Outstanding value.
+ Can produce very sharp photos in the 70-200mm range.
+ AF is as fast and precise IMO.
+ Macro extension tubes work extremely well with this lens; combined with a good ring flash it can produce incredible close ups even hand held. Without the extension tubes you will be too far from your subject for a camera-mounted flash to work well.

Neutral:
~ Macro switch & 300mm reach are fun but do not produce crisp images, even on a tripod with extremely good lighting. The lens is simply not sharp at 200-300mm. Images are very acceptable but not great. The 70-200mm range can produce great results.
~ Good build quality. Not quite Nikkor, but perfectly acceptable at the price. Made in Japan.

Cons:
- Lens creep. Even at a 45 degree angle focus will creep if you bump the camera on tripod.
- AF is loud. Much louder than the shutter release in a Nikon D3200.
- Image quality is not great. There is a decent amount of chromatic aberration, increasing near the edges of the image.
- Eats light and lacks optical stabilization -- combined with long reach this means lots of slightly blurry photos. Requires a tripod and/or perfect lighting for sharp photos.

Thoughts:
I've taken about a thousand exposures with this lens, from continuous sports shooting to extreme magnification macro. This is a very versatile lens at a good price. It can be challenging to work with; expect to use tripods and fully manual operation to get excellent photos. But I think this is good for a beginner.

I think some people blame the lack of sharpness in their photos on the AF in this lens. IMO this is definitely not the case. I have taken very sharp close-ups using the AF, a quality ring flash, and macro extension tubes. I think a lot of complaints about clarity are due to the problematic >200mm range and/or vibrations.

Fantastic Lens!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 9, 2017

Style: Canon SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

I rarely leave Amazon reviews but felt I really had to on this occasion. I've just gone away to India and wanted a really good zoom lens for my 650D. I have to say this lens does not disappoint. For the price the quality is remarkable and very easy to use. It does auto focus and there is a method to switching from Macro to normal that you have to know and it switches perfectly every time. I'm really, really pleased with this lens and again for the price you cannot go wrong at all. I'm by no means a professional photographer but this lens is very easy to use. I would 100% recommend it to the everyday photographer. I'm going on a safari so can't wait to use it more then! Will be buying more Sigma lenses for sure.

A Good Lens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 4, 2020

Style: Pentax SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

I bought the Sigma lens to replace a Tamron one, I some how managed to damage beyond repair. I have always like Sigma lenes and this one has lived up to my expectations. It easy to use and the results are good. I do a lot of report writing and have to use an old Pentax 6MP camera as outlook cant send any higher resolution pictures. So to me the lens is very important to make use of the 6MP size of the camera. The photo taken at Littlehampton show just how much detail you can get with the Sigma lens. I would recommend the Sigma if you are looking for a reasonable weighted lens body. Well done Sigma.

... looking to get into buying lens sigma is a good name to go with

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 17, 2015

Style: Nikon SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

If you're starting out in photography and looking to get into buying lens sigma is a good name to go with, they make high-quality lenses just like any other manufacturer for your camera. Sometimes they outperform their genuine ones and sometimes they are just average like this one. For £90 I did not expect much and was happy with what I go for my money.

For a cheap lens, it has its pros and cons lets start with the cons.

Cons
1. It's very loud if you're using the auto focus.
2. If you're looking to do images where you have to aim the camera down. The auto focus ring will creep down time and time again as it has no resistance in manual mode
3. The macro and normal can be tricky at times.
4. The quality of images is average. do not expect high-quality images unless you're shooting from a distance. Close up macro 200-300mm is quite good tho.

Pros.
1. Really good for close up macro with the right light.
2. Feels nice in the hand and well built
3.Has a nice weight to it
4.I have dropped this license twice now and it's stood up to the challenge.

In short if your have £90 in your pocket burning a hole it's not a bad beginner lens to try out and get used to working with the lense. With the right lighting and a skill with editing you will get use out of this lens more then you think.

for the price very good for an entry level photographer on a budget

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 29, 2014

Style: Minolta and Sony SLR CamerasSet: US VersionVerified Purchase

For the price I can't groumble.
the zoom is great and allowed me to get fantastically sharp images and film, of African animals without being eaten. As a result of this lense my documentary looks great.
Having said that I do have some issues...
Firstly the AF is very slow, which can be an issue if you want the shot immediately. and because of the AF lense your SLR can refuse a picture if its not happy with it which can be annoying.
Second, the zoom wheel (for me) was a little stiff making slow zooms when filming a live event, lets say, are somewhat difficult to achieve, although still doable.
but other than these things which shouldn't discourage you if you're on a budget, the lense if a good find.
the lens is great for an entry level individual on a budget, for me however, I would be tempted not to cheap out next time, and get a non AF lens.
After practice this lens is fine and the quality of your film or pics will be great but there are better for a little pricier.
