Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG MACRO Pro Reviews

www.whatdigitalcamera.com‘s review Edit

The lens doesn’t have Sigma’s Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) found on some of its other lenses, but the AF is still reasonably and comparatively quiet. The lens charts show good performance at the 70mm end, with excellent control over fringing, particularly in corners where this lens is the clear leader. At 300mm, the central control is as good as that of comparable Nikon and Olympus models, but it falls short a little in the corners. Resolution is acceptable, if average, with some dropping off at 300mm.

slrgear‘s review Edit

The Sigma 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 is a viable alternative to manufacturers' versions of the same lens. If you're looking for excellent corner-to-corner sharpness across a wide range of focal lengths and apertures you won't find it in the Sigma, but when stopped down to ƒ/8 and ƒ/11 the lens performs decently well. It offers an excellent macro mode between 200mm and 300mm and some of the best resistance to chromatic aberration that we've seen in lenses of this category, all for a very reasonable price.
