I love this lens! I've shot numerous assignments with it and it always yielded great results. I recently upgraded my telephotos to an L-glass IS equivalent so this lens must go in-order to alleviate that ever-so-expensive purchase.

I've used this Sigma lens @ automotive events primarily and for product photos, always had a UV filter (not included) on the front and it served me extremely well. This lens is stupid sharp when stopped down serving as a great long-range telephoto for panning photos (cars/sports/etc.) or products/stationary objects. Its super light and durable. To top it off, it is also a great lens for macro photography yielding a 1:2 magnification ratio!

I've earned back what I originally paid for this lens numerous times over and I'd like to pass that ability on to the next shooter who may not be ready to go big w/ a more expensive telephoto. Brand new @ $209 dollars is already cheap, now try $145 pp-gift/shipped! Lastly, please note that you can mount this lens on both film or digital bodies. If you have any questions whatsoever, just ask and I'll do my best to answer and clarify any concerns. Thanks!

I'm happy to give it a go. The Canon Lens in Best Buy was $700 when we stopped in today. I know you get what you pay for.... but the images you shot look just fine to me

Thanks for the heads up!

Sa..sa..sa...SOLD! So long as you stop-down and use a tripod, it always nets a great image (tip: if shooting products, use MF @ 70mm, move to the 300mm + manually focus there and then zoom back to 70mm to have the sharpest focus possible). You'll kill any daytime sports events with this thing, just keep that hand steady-panning! However, if you're trying to shoot birds really up-close, you'll need to rely on your 'stalking' skills as @ 300mm, you may have to get closer than you would with 500mm. Overall, you're gonna' enjoy this thing. It happens to produce 'warm' images, you'll see when you use it. Again thanks and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
