 Sigma 70-300 Macro Zoom Combo PackageAug 03, 2010
A very good deal. For a few dollors more, you can get a top quality lens, some filters, lens kit and screen protection films. As with all Sigma lens, the picture quality is excellent. I agree with other reviews that at 300 mm, it is difficult not to get some blur, but not impossible. It comes down to shutter speed. A higher ISO setting tends to help and naturally a monopod or tripod is best. All in all, for the money, I have no complaints and if anything goes wrong, I have a 6 year warranty.

Good lens.May 16, 2007
While this lens is not a pro lens by any means it does absolutely what you will need it to do in a variety of photographic situations and settings. No hand held telephoto lens will ever give you crisp clear shots (a chief complaint made in other reviews of this lens), but a serious photographer using a telephoto lens knows it has to be stabilized with a tripod or monopod to prevent camera shake and fuzzy pictures. For a $200 lens in the 70-300mm range this lens beats its Canon name brand equivalent with ease. Construction of this lens is better than the Canon and the Macro feature is something that the Canon lens lacks. I've used this lens in a variety of situations - sports photography, portrait photography, and landscape/nature photography - and it's never disappointed me. Another thing that impresses me with Sigma is that they include a lens hood and lens case with every lens they sell - Canon won't do that!
 Sigma 28-300mm :(May 16, 2007
Well i got this lens about a month ago, and well im not to happy with it. all of my images come out soft/fuzzy using both auto and manual focus, it does not work well in low light situations, and i dont believe it goes to a true 300mm. I have a vivitar 70-210mm and it zooms in closer that the sigma 28-300mm does, and it produces better quality images. The only good thing about this lens is that it is built sturdy, its heavy, and the macro feature works great. I used this lens to shoot some portraits for a client and had to reshoot all of them with a different lens because of the poor quality the lens produces. I would not recommend this lens. It would be worth while to save the money and buy a canon lens.
