Sigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Macro Super II Zoom Lens for Nikon AF

I am so happy with my new lens. Great price, great lens, great delivery time. I own a Nikon D70 and was having a hard time finding a 70-300mm that was in my budget yet was a quality lens. When I saw this product on ebay, I had hesitations because it was the lowest price I had found anywhere for a brand new lens and the fact that it's also a Macro. Sounded too good to be true. My lens arrived exactly one week from purchase date. I opened it up immediately and tried and was pleasantly surprised. It's by far better than my Nikkor lens. The quality is amazing and it's brighter. I'm glad I took a chance. It's a winner! {:O)

I don't like this lens. It make the camera inoperable in automatic shooting mode. Also the pictures are really dark with this lens.

Please excuse me, the fact of the matter is that, It got here at the speed of lite very fast.. not use to that with others sellers..its a great addation to my collection of lens. handels very well and adjust automaticly quickly, aside of its macro is also great.. I would recomend this lens.. thanks will buy from them again..

I wanted to have a second lens to sort of play with. This lens proved to be a good choice. The zoom range is good and the macro works well. The sharpness of pictures taken at 300mm on a D80 are not as sharp as those taken with the Nikon lens I have. The lens functions well with all the settings on my D80 camera although the autofocus is a bit noisy. However, considering that the Nikon lens cost about 5x as much, this lens is a good choice even if it is the only lens you have.

The macro mode probably will require a tripod. It is difficult to stop camera motion which causes fuzziness even at fairly high shutter speeds. With a tripod, all works well and I was able to take some quite sharp pictures. You might be a bit disappointed that the 70mm zoom does not give a very wide view. My suggestion is to pick up a second lens for the low zoom range. You can cover the range from about 18mm to 70mm or 135mm with reasonably priced lenses from a number of manufacturers, including Nikon and Sigma.

All in all, if you are looking for a zoom lens that gives very good pictures and is reasonably priced, I think you will like this lens.

Its a great lens, good quality, but it should be noted that it will not work with auto focus for nikon, only cannon.

Even though it wasn't listed to work with my Nikon D50 it works perfectly, I've taken some of my best photos ever.
