Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DLM DG (Motorized) Macro Tele Zoom Lens for Nikon AF-D Cameras - USA Warranty

2019-04-30T05:57:38

Only had it a few days before using it on a trip to the mountains here in Idaho. It's a bit "not quite in focus" when in auto-focus, but in manual, it's pretty sharp. It's fairly quiet and feels much more solid than the non-macro Canon 70-300mm lens. The real test will be this summer when I go to a few air shows.

I am using this on my sony a7ii with a cheap manual adapter. With sony peaking, focusing is not a problem. I just got this today and immediately I went to the park to take some photos. The pictures were very good. For the price, this is the best zoom lens there is.

I have had a sigma before, the pics are really sharp...some folks in reviews talking about motor lag, depends on the camera and whether you have a power increase setting which is in the pro full size DSLR newer models. I have A77 II model and had the Sony 55-300 lens. Which was okay; but only half the time sharp images. I did notice in sigma a faster shoot response time in my A77 II. My sony 300 i had for 5 years the aperture stuck in the lens body. So I am replacing it. I dropped my sigma years back; but was more expensive then...but is now more affordable now. just remember your cameras has AF and Shoot at will Focus...just know your settings guys. Some of the comments are just unbelievable about lens on most sites. If you get a lens error switch lens immediately in any camera. Sigma also has more element glass than Sony also. Qualty feel is also better. i wont go back to Sony on this lens or their top tier either which i found clunky motion; it was better at exposure than being accurate phasing in and out images.The white color body didn't help either...lol

I purchased this lens to compete with a Canon EF-Mount of 70-300mm. This lens was a steal! It is amazing, I really have no complaints about it. I've never used Sony products before and i'm going to be using them again and again. I have used this lens to photograph a newborn session of close-ups of babies feet and hands, I have also used it to photograph an engagement party. It works as expected and amazing with my Canon EOS 6D

This lens replaced a 70-300 Tamron lens that I’d had for a while. So far I’m very pleased with the results. I used to get a lot of CA with the Tamron - so far so good with the Sigma. Sharpness is better as well. F/11 seems to be the sweet spot with this lens at full zoom, shooting in Av mode. Gonna try full manual and different f-stops and see how it performs. Focuses relatively quickly. Build quality seems good.

The lens works pretty efficiently. I take pictures for my high school football team and they seem to be happy with the unclose shots that I'm able to obtain with this lens. I don't like the auto focus that much but manual isn't too bad as long as you're adjusted to the light and other surroundings.

Not bad at all. Just kind of noisy when autofocusing isn’t that smooth fast and quiet like the canon brands. But really great for the price

I bought the lens to use on a cruise I am going on in April.

I just switched to Pentax from Canon, juts got the K-1, and wanted an inexpensive lens to start with. So far, it's been a good, solid lens. I use it for professional work (even though I don't consider myself a professional), a magazine cover, photos for editorial, etc. Mostly white background photos in a light box.

Very nice lens! Husband loves it!

Love it. Takes clear shots which is what I am primarily concerned about. Is a little noisy but I have no issue with that. It does everything I want in a zoom.

If you're a Pentax owner, even if you only occasionally need/use a telephoto lens, you'll want to add this little gem to your arsenal. It's very powerful, surprisingly sharp, and an amazing value. You can't go wrong, especially buying it from Adorama!

Great lens, proof that a good lens can be made that is affordable. This piece of equipment will do the job nicely for 99% of all photograhers.(the unpretentious ones)

I use this zoom lens to primarily take pictures of skydivers from the ground. It zooms in great and I am getting some great shots.

Love the clarity and focal length. The autofocus works great although it is pretty loud. Definitely a good buy.

I use it all the time and have kept the 200 for my stand by D-3100 which my husband has not used yet. This one I use with my Nikon D-3300.

I found the product excellent in quality and performance, however (and this my be considered nit-picking), I would have liked the bayonet mounting ring to be black to match the color of the camera. Thanks.

This is a great lens for Nikon cameras that have the built in focus motor motor. I am using it on a D90 where it works fine.

I needed a long (zoom) lens primarily for taking pics at soccer games and of wildlife (birds) from a distance. The native Sony option for my A7 was $$$ and this was a very reasonably-priced alternative. Adorama was helpful in this purchase, making sure it was compatible and would give me good pics w/my full frame camera. The only not-great behavior I've noticed in the past few weeks is with a low f-stop, there is a tendency to some blue "light" streaks on details. If I need a wide-open aperture I guess I need to carry a tripod; oh well. The lens certainly is at least as good as I'd hoped, and the price was very good.

Very good quality pictures for the price- excellent value. Macro mode is quite usable tho not equal to a dedicated macro lens. Build quality was very good. Zoom function was also fairly smooth. A significant tho not major drawback was a rotating front element making using a polarizer a bit of a chore. Overall very pleased, as I use it for an alternate very happy with this lens. to a very heavy 70-210 2.8 telezoom.

2nd one I got, as the 1st broke after 6 months, but top notch tech support fixed it for no cost.

My daughter loved this lens. We gave it to her for Christmas at her request. She enjoyed ALL of the features of this wonderful lens.

Great zoom capability and overall picture quality. Easy to use and helping me get to the next level of photography.

Not a bad lense to play around. Inexpensive but motor is a bit loud. I'm curious how it compares to the Tamron counterpart. Focusing is pretty good even in low light situation.

Great lens so far. For me, just getting into macro, this lens is perfect. I'm just starting out in the DSLR world so I can't really get into the technical aspects of the lens, but picture quality is wonderful!

This piece is absolutely perfect, for the money it is a awesome blessing. I cannot say it any other way. Takes wonderful pictures with my Nikon D 3300 and love it to death, love them both to death. It's a awesome perfect peace for somebody on a financial budget like myself that still wants quality 300 millimetres Zoom. A great piece love it wouldn't do without it.
