Sigma APO 100-300mm F4 EX DG HSM Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

Sigma has certainly identified a niche that it's capable of exploiting with this lens, but as it puts OS into more of its lens series, it seems to have passed this particular series over in favor of lenses with variable apertures (such as the 120-400mm ƒ/4.5-5.6). The 100-300mm ƒ/4 is an interesting lens, about as large as a 70-200mm ƒ/2.8, but offering slightly more reach. Unfortunately, the performance of this sample is on par, and sometimes bested by, the consumer telezooms of its competitors. An even more compelling argument against it is these same alternatives include image stabilization, either in the camera or the camera body system, which is perhaps more useful than the constant ƒ/4 aperture.

This unusual lens is an excellent performer overall. It is capable of producing images with great clarity and the build quality is good enough to take a fair bit of use and abuse.
