==================================

SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 HF Macro Autofocus Lens

With the 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6, Sigma has had a serious competitor to the major manufacturers' consumer telephoto zooms for some years now.
The 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 is designed to fill a 35mm frame, but functions properly on a reduced-frame sensor as well. On these types of cameras the lens will provide and equivalent field of view of 105 - 450mm (1.5x sensors) and 112 - 480mm (1.6x sensors).
In general, the 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 offers above-average results for sharpness; when stopped down, and kept below 200mm, results are excellent. At 300mm has a small sweet spot of above-average performance near the center of the image.
The 70-300mm is using a built-in electric motor to focus. The result is a fairly fast focusin. The focusing ring will turn while the lens autofocuses, as will the front filter element.
The 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 is designated as a macro lens, providing up to 1:2 (0.5x) macro magnification when set to the 300mm focal length. Macro use is restricted to 200-300mm. At 200mm this magnification is 1:2.9. Minimum close-focusing distance is just over three feet (37.4 inches, 95 cm).

The Sigma 70-300mm ƒ/4-5.6 is composed mainly of plastic, however the overall impression is that the lens is quite rugged. The lens mount is metal, and the filter rings are plastic. The lens barrel is black, which a semi-roughed finish. The focus ring is mounted near the front of the lens, the zoom ring towards the lens mount, and both are composed of a nice rubber ridged pattern that is well-dampened and easy to grip.
The lens provides the user with a distance scale marked in imperial and metric units, as well as a depth-of-field scale for ƒ/11 and ƒ/22. There are switches for autofocus operation (on or off) and macro mode activation; above 200mm you can engage the macro mode.
The closest similar lenses from Canon and Nikon would cost you $400+ and for many photographers this lens is preferable not because of the price, but also because of very competitive sharpness, superior optics and performance.
