Purchased this lens for ice hockey and very happy with sharpness and clearity. I can shoot the lenght of the ice and still be tight between the goal posts. Very happy with price from Adorama and I highly recommend!

It is a fast sharp lens, must use Sigma converters with it, the lock on the focus ring easy to unlock , then you get an error message from nikon cameras, once relocked no problem

In looking for a cost effective, high quality lens for wildlife & sports, I settled on the Sigma. While not perhaps quite the overall glass quality of a comparable Nikon lens, the cost difference more than makes up for it. Photos are sharp and, when used with the 2X tele-converter, I'm able to shoot most wildlife that I find. A great lens for the price.

I bought this lens mainly for wildlife photography. I use it mostly with the Sigma APO 2x teleconverter and I get some very sharp pictures. Occasionally I wish I had image stabilization but with the fast shutter speeds I use most of the time I do not miss it much. I use it with a monopod except for in flight birds. I had to get a new monopod head and the only heavy duty one I could find was by Really Right Stuff.

300mm for Ice Hockey

The Sigma 300mm f/2.8 APO Ex DG Auto Focus Telephoto Lens is a versatile, fast aperture telephoto lens for both digital and film SLR cameras.Two ELD glass elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and also ensure sharp, quality images of high contrast.
The new multi layer lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital SLR cameras. The overall length of the lens does not changeduring focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use.
A drop-in 46mm filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel can be rotated to facilitate the use of filters, including a polarizing filter,
Simply adding an APO teleconverter (optional extra), means that this lens can be used as a 420mm AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 1.4x Ex teleconverter, or a 600mm F5.6 AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 2x teleconverter.
