Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO macro

(7 customer reviews)

This camera glass has the ability to focus on objects from a distance, making it a great option for wildlife or sports photography. The bokeh, or the quality of the out-of-focus areas, is decent. It has both autofocus and manual focus options, giving the photographer more control over their shots. The lens is made up of 14 elements in 10 groups, which helps to produce sharp and clear images. The lens coating helps to reduce ghosting and flare, which can be a common problem with some photographic lens. It is a well-built lens, which is durable and can last for a long time. The resolution is good, and the images produced are sharp and clear. There are alternative lenses available in the market, but this lens is a good option for those who want a budget-friendly option with good performance. The manufacturing time is not specified, but it is a widely available lens. The aperture range is f/4-5.6, which means it may not perform as well in low light conditions. Overall, this is a good option for those who want a versatile and affordable lens for their full-frame camera.

Sure, here’s my review of the Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO macro camera lens:

Positives:
– Good value for the price
– Decent macro capabilities
– Solid build quality

Negatives:
– The lens feels a bit cheap and plasticky
– Autofocus can be slow and noisy
– Image quality suffers at the longest zoom range

Conclusion:
Overall, the Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO macro lens is a decent budget option for someone who wants to experiment with macro photography without breaking the bank. However, there are certainly better lenses out there if you’re willing to spend the money. Keep in mind that this lens may not be compatible with certain camera mounts, and be cautious of misleading or inaccurate product descriptions.

    Best lens in this price range This is the first lens I have purchased for my Canon that was not the Canon brand and I have found it very good for the price! It has a very good zoom for the price I paid and it worked very well taking pictures at the Grand Canyon. The only con’s I’ve found with this lens it that switching between the Telephoto and Macro positions can be frustrating. I sometimes need to switch to manual focus just to retract the lens to put it away. A small hindrance but it doesn’t ruin my excitement!

    Extremely satisfied and would recommend to everyone!! I am very very impressed with this lens overall. It is built with very good quality. When you have it in your hand it doesn’t feel like a cheap piece of plastic. It actually feels very sturdy and solid. Pictureswise I think for the price the quality cannot be beaten. It seems like the picture quality gets a touch soft when your zoomed in at 300mm but it still takes a very good quality picture. Its a must have lens if your on a budget and want a good lens!!

    Works well as a macro lens The Sigma APO DG Macro 70-300mm F/4.0-5.6 works well as a macro lens. Photos are clear and sharp. As a telephoto lens the lack of Image Stability increases the difficulty of getting clear shots when hand held. The F/4.0-5.6 requires quite a bit of light. Lens works best at F/8.0-F/11.0 when used as a telephoto. I have a Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS, so this lens works well for my introduction into macro photography.

    Amazing lens for the price This is an amazing lens for the price. Pictures come out very clear when using a tripod. I have not tried freehand because all my macro shots are taken with a tripod.

    Misrepresented Neither lens has a Nikon Mount; one is not APO, and fungus was not the major problem with these. The Advert misrepresented them, and I’m still trying to sort out exactly what they are.
