After working with a cheeper zoom I was getting very frustrated with my images and with available zoom lenses for the Pentax 20D. I am very pleased with this lens! It is very sharp and now I can shoot with confidence my images are going to be of good quality. I also bought the sigma 2x converter and it works amazing too. Now I have a 100-600 quality lens. Nothing much wrong with it.

At 1 Grand, it's my best buy ever.

By Dan Johnson

from Boston, Mass. on 6/8/2008

Pros:

Consistent Output, Durable, Easily Interchangeable, Rugged, Sharp Focus, Strong Construction

Best Uses:

Big Bad Moon Rising, Special Effects, Sports/Action, Sunsets, Wildlife

Describe Yourself:

Semi-Professional

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Get the 1.4x & 2x Sigma Tele-Converters, with the lens factor you'll get sharp shots out close to 1000mm. If it was 1 stop brighter it would cost twice as much, and be a lot heavier. I love how big the moon is when I Silhouette something infront of it, but use it mainly for birds. It's a lot sharper than I expected, especially with either of the Tele-Converters. I often use a polarizing filter to increase color saturation and find it plenty bright enough. P. S. I love my MonoPod and use it more often than my TriPod with this lens.
