I have used this for birds, wildlife, landscapes and portraits with excellent results. A fantastic lens for the price.

I have used the lens for outdoor photography on quite a few trips and am extremely satisfied, especially considering the low price of the lens.

I was looking for an inexpensive yet durable upgarde from my kit lens (18-55mm) and this fit the bill, for it's construction and use in the field. I primarily use it for landscapes and some family photos and keep it on the camera at all times.

This was an upgrade from the standard kit lens. I keep it on the camera at all times and use it mainly for landscapes and candid shoots. Nice feel, very sturdy.

I really love this lens and it has quickly become my Go-to piece of equipment. I am a photography student in art school and I use my lens for both school projects and freelance work and it handles great very versatile. I use it on both my Canon 50D DSLR and my Canon Rebel EOS Ti and works really well for both. My only grievance would be that when using it on my film camera I have problems sometimes because the lens creates vignettes on the image if you keep it between 160-200mm. However that is only because it isn't made for the film camera I use even though it fits on it. I mostly use it for close ups anyway on my film because it has great focus. So overall the lens it great. Use it mostly for digital or on a film camera that is fitted well to the body if you can find one. Its a great buy for the price.

This lens is best for people that cannot afford the 70-200 f/2.8 or f/4. It is well constructed and does a decent job of focusing. If you're looking for a telephoto lens and can't lay down the money for a 70-200 definitely go with this.

I bought this lens to use on a Canon Digital Rebel, that has been converted to infrared. I get very clean clear pictures with the auto focus and the stabilization. I use the lens for landscape, buildings and flower photography I feel for the price and the construction it is a very nice lens.

Great lens for Canon cameras. It is much more reasonable then the Canon version of this product. I love how Adorama includes the lens kit for the same price. The only drawback is that the autofocus has some issues in low light. However, manual focus corrects that issue.

This is a great telephoto lens that is much more reasonable compared to the Canon version of this lens. It works great for close ups. [...] The only issue is the autofocus can struggle in low light situations. However, the manual focus corrects this issue. Bottom line - great lens for great price!

After having to sell my equipment due to a family emergency, I was looking for a way to resume shooting, without having to put my family into deep debt. Enter the Sigma 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DC OS HSM lens. With the small pricetag, I really did not expect output that didn't require a great deal of help from post-production. Then, I received the lens. It left me breathless and speechless. Canon L-series glass didn't even impress me the way this lens did! Tack sharp images with great contrast and color saturation. And with the inclusion of OS (Optical Stabilization), the f/4-5.6 aperture isn't a roadblock to indoor shooting. Turn OS on and you can shoot a stationary subject with sharp results with shutter speeds of 1/25 second, without a flash. All-in-all, this lens is of incredible quality without the ridiculous price mark-up that Canon charges for "Image Stabilization". Budget lens - big time results!

I bought this lens to use on my Canon Rebel, converted to Infrared only. So far the lens performs very well with no "hot spots" on my images.I really like the price and performance. At this time I have nothing negative to say about the lens.

I love this lens. It is my everyday lens. Images are sharp and the OS stabilizer works better than the IS stabilizer on some of my canon lenses. Fast autofocus.

I did a lot of research before purchasing a telephoto Lens for my Canon XSi. I wanted something that would have good range and be reliable, but I didn't have a lot of extra cash to blow. This seemed to be the perfect lens for what I wanted, and it is. The only downside I have found is that it doens't perform well in Low Light. Other than that, great lens.

A gift to someone close to me - so I can use it myself :) This lens is much better built than comparable Nikon lens. Metal ring instead of Nikon's composite material. Of course it does not provide the sharpness of a $1000+ lens, but I was surprised about it for this price. OS works! It bring in average 3 stops.

Beat all expectations I had for the price. Sharp images, quite motor, image stabilizer is very reliable. At the time of purchase had a similar Canon model, and ended selling it because I liked the results from this one so much better. Works well for indoor/outdoor portraits and nature photography. Also feels like quality construction. Also internal focus really a plus.

I bought this lens to use on D5000, mainly for sports photography. It works there pretty well: auto-focus is reasonably fast and accurate. I can track quick moving subjects, and the OS is surprisingly efficient. I get usable, though slightly soft, pictures even at 200m. It's not a very fast lens at f/4-5.6, just average. You need light. Some say bad things about Sigma build quality, but I'm very happy with the quality and handling, it feels solid, particularly if you consider the price. Manual focus ring is only fair, not great, but much better than with e.g. D5000 18-55 kit lens. The picture sharpness isn't great, the main reason I hover between 3 and 4 stars. Distortion is not a problem, and I've even taken some portraits where the bokeh is very pleasing. Bottom line: not a spectacular lens, but good value for the money if doing sports. For nature photography, too soft.

Used this the first day I got it and it performed great. The OS (optical stabilizer) is great to have, especially since my hands are a little shaky. It focuses very quick, and I especially like the fact that it the focus is internal. Gives you some good reach when needed. It hunts a little in low light but it is not bad at all. Has great bokeh and produces very sharp pictures. This is an excellent addition as a walk around lens. This lens is now on about half the time, the other half I use my canon 60mm f2.8 dedicated macro which also is great.
