Fast, capable telephoto zoom
This was my first Sigma purchase in over 35 years. It came highly rated by Popular Photography. I was impressed when I took it out of the box. The build quality is excellent. It yeilds excellent photos at any f/stop. I seldom shoot below f/5.6. It is vastly smaller than the 70-200mm f/2.8 I borrowed. It fits comfortably in my shoulder bag. The 67mm filter size and lighter weight are important. I would recommend this lens to anyone.

This, I think, is the best Prosummer fast lens available at this time.
Ok, I'm going to simply list pros and cons on this one:
PROS:
* Light weight
* Focus is very accurate, super fast and hypersilent. Some times you don't even know if the lens is working, it is just because the image is in focus that you note the lens focused.
* Construction quality is really good. The lens is inner focus and inner zoom, so there are no moving parts outside, in the open.
* I can't see a better fast, tele prosumer lens out there at this time.
* Price point
CONS
* Flare, but this is a fast lens for shooting in low light, so if you use it for is intended purpose, then there is no problem.

Excellent lens, light, fast, best telephoto for d40, nice bokeh
A well built lens by Sigma. Those who are not used to (inexperienced) in focusing properly will realize that this lens is very sensitive. Two objects sitting next to each other but one is slightly farther away from the camera (say 1-2") will show noticeable difference in the sharpness level. So be very careful with pointing at the right object. Otherwise practice will bring you closer and closer to great results.
Very light for its size and capability compared to the Nikkor 70-300mm or 18-200mm VR or not. Well-priced ($600-$700). Fast built-in motor (HSM) and very very quiet.
The best part is the f/2.8. Able to capture images in low light settings, indoor, fast movements, way faster and way sharper than 70-300mm or 18-200mm (f/3.5 or f/5).
Highly recommended.

Autofocus didn't work, sent back
I really wanted this lens to be good because it looks pretty great on paper. Unfortunately when it arrived the autofocus didn't really work at all. I ended up sending it back to Amazon.

Very soft at low apertures
When I received this lens I took several test shots at F/2.8 on up to f/16 to test for sharpness (tripod mounted) at a distance of 5-6 feet. My lens was suprisingly soft at f/2.8 to f/5.6 or so, even compared to other telephoto lenses (e.g., Nikon 70-300mm)at comparable apertures. I called Sigma technical support but they were not much help so I sent it back. I was really hoping I would like this lens since it is much lighter than my (full frame) 70-200 f/2.8. I received a full refund from Amazon so at least the experience did not cost me any $$.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
