Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I chose a telephoto on CANON with a large focal length, for the nature of the animals of the sport, The choice was between Sigma 100-400 (new) and Canon EF 100-400mm f / 4.5-5.6L IS (second hand), the price is about the same (Tamron 100-400 didn’t exist then, it came out after the purchase) I watched a bunch of tests and videos for a long time, from what is available on the Internet I didn’t find any global difference, and the choice was made in favor of SIGMA, Half a year later, the result…

Pros
  • The weight Focal range Nimble, well catches flying birds and athletes. The stub feels good.
Cons
  • Plastic body The inverted lens hood prevents you from turning the zoom, you have to put it in the working position every time.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I bought it as a compact and lightweight replacement for the Sigma 150-600 C on mountain trekking tours, where every gram counts. In fact, it is a reduced copy of it and is a compromise between range on the one hand, and compactness and weight on the other hand. The picture quality is the same. Does not require getting used to when changing optics. Due to its compactness and weight distribution, the photographer, when shooting handheld, can stabilize better than with 150-600. Is a more…

Pros
  • -Cutting; -Fast autofocus; -Compact; -Light; -Comfortable; -The center of gravity is between the zoom ring and the camera; -Small stroke of the zoom ring; - Light filter 67 mm. You can find many different ones. For every taste and budget.
Cons
  • Due to the strong influx of the case, it is inconvenient to work with a polarizing filter.

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

Pretty normal telephoto lens. As I understand it, with such variable distances, lenses cannot be lighter . If so, this is a good lens. With its pros. Convenient focal lengths. lock!) Very convenient cut-off distances: 1.6 m - 6 m; 6m - ∞; full. That is, you are not the author of gorgeous photos of a clear, but uninteresting background, and the subject of photography is blurred, as well as the nearest bushes (branches), when a beautiful bird is seen behind them as an indistinct blurry spot! But!

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Agree on the price-quality ratio. These shortcomings overlap, lightness, as a result, the ability to maneuver more when shooting. Workhorse. You should not expect miracles from the lens in difficult lighting conditions, but for those conditions in which the shooting was planned, it showed itself in the best way. Great lens for everyday use! Some pros: The weight, FR range, autofocus work, The picture as a whole, sharpness, Convenient to work Has some cons Dark for some tasks (but this is a…

I love this lens! c SLR camera lenses

This is SHARP glass! I really like this lens. That's only about a third the price of the Canon 100-400 MkII, but it's only 1/3 a light stop slower. But much sharper and lighter than Canon. I use this often with a Canon 2x Mkiii teleconverter with no problems. I love that it can be programmed via the Sigma dock to better suit your shooting style. On the other hand only 2 things. In low light, focusing can be quite slow. Focus on the peak, focus that way. Another reason is the lack of an official

Golden lens for bird watching. - Lenses

I am a bird enthusiast and have had exceptional results with this lens. This is a large lens and although I read the specs my mind wasn't fully prepared for such a large size. Compare with Canon 75-300mm, and that's without a lens hood. However, it's light enough to carry around and take pictures without a tripod. I mounted it on an EOS Rebel T6 and although I initially shot in some darkness, I was able to fine tune the settings to get excellent shots even in imperfect lighting. A camera with a

Pros
  • Lenses
Cons
  • Reliability

First off, this isn't a $3,000 lens. I don't expect it to have the same performance as an expensive Nikkor lens etc. I fully understood the limitations of the wide-angle aperture. If I wanted or needed a 2.8 wide-angle telephoto lens, I would put a cardioid. Sold some blood and one of my kids for one. However, I didn't, so I accept what a lens in this price range can and should do. A lot of people have given reviews of this lens, so basically giving my two cents away would be a lot of rep. I…

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Probably one of the best solutions in terms of price-quality ratio. The stabilizer is quite effective. At the far end, the contrast drops a little. Autofocus - in the tracking focus mode, I managed to follow the planes at MAKS; at dusk, there are no complaints about him either. She survived a little rain with no consequences for herself. How to behave further - time will tell. Examples of photos can be viewed at the 100-400 mark in my albums (https://fotki. . Ru/users/sj-13/)

Pros
  • 1. Weight for its class 2. Sharpness 3. Dust and moisture protection 4. Color (native - "snow white")
Cons
  • No tripod foot In the delivery set, I would like to see a wardrobe trunk (which was for 12-24, for example, also the "near" series)

Nice price, good quality.

The lens was bought several years ago for use on Sony mirrorless cameras through an MS-11 adapter. At that time, it was the most optimal configuration of available and compatible compact lenses up to 400mm. Didn't use it often, but once gave it a two-week African safari ride. I can say that the lens is very sharp. Focusing speed is not the fastest, but suitable for photography. Nice picture. Of the minuses, I drew attention to the chirping of the motor in the video shooting mode. All the…

Pros
  • A very sharp picture. Good colors and nice bokeh. Customization of lens settings in special software.
Cons
  • The operation of the stabilizer is not always clear. Average focus speed and noisy motor for video. The tripod paw is missing, but you can buy it on Ali.
