Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG IF Macro Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG IF Macro Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
This MACRO lens covers all the focal lengths from 28mm wide angle to 300mm telephoto with 10.7:1 high zoom ratio as well as macro capability. 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO packs a lot of performance in a compact package with ultra compact dimensions that make this lens the ultimate traveling companion. It's the ideal lens all types of photography and optimized for digital SLR cameras.The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.This lens features one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element and one aspherical lens in the front lens group, and one SLD glass element and three aspherical lenses in the rear lens group. This lens provides excellent correction for all types of aberrations.This MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto, allowing a reproduction ratio of 1:3.This design allows for stability and compactness in design as changes in focus are made in an internal lens grouping. This also gives the advantage of a non-rotating front lens assembly, which is of great benefit when using polarizing filter and Petal-type hood.This MACRO lens is equipped with a zoom lock to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight, and to offer protection whilst the lens is being carried.

Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG IF Macro Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Cameras user reviews

    "I really like the range of this lens on my XT(350D) and 30D. Also this lens is so light.Good travel lens. Get a monopod to prevent camera shake so you can use it up to 300mm. "

    "I like this lens alot. I use it for my Nikon D70 and it is probably the best lens i have owned. the pictures are very crisp and it manually focuses very very easily. I love this lens so much. I cried when i got it. "

    "Nice all purpose lense. Has some auto-focusing issues at the high and low end though. "

    "We were headed to Germany for vacation and I needed a telephoto/zoom lens. My "ideal" lens was over $1,600 so I had to find some thing a little lower in price. After a lot of time reading web pages, I selected the Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 and could not be happier! It did everything I needed and the quality is most impressive. I highly recommend this lens! "

    "I purchase this lens for the Digital Rebel XT body I also purchased through Amazon. So far the lens has performed as expected. It is solid and well built. Sticks slightly, when zooming through 200mm. Images are crisp and focus is sharp. Working at 300mm can be a challenge without using a mono or tripod. Shooting a bird in flight at 300mm is a trick.
Overall, good lens for $200. If you have more money, then a lens with Image Stabilization (IS) would be the way to go. "
