Sigma Reviews

I use Minolta XTSI camera...
Earlier, I purchased 28-80 and 70-210mm lens.It was very difficult to carry two lens and change it also.
So i purchased Sigma 28-300mm lens,With little hesitation...
But when i see the result of the photos ..Our entire family is very very happy....I say A++++++..n times..
I am going to buy another camera with the same lens for my sister also..

No need to change lens ...All in one lens..The best lens....and very echonomical also.........

Sigma lenses are high quality glass for those of us that don't want to throw away money on the company product. This lens will simplify your life. I was fortunate enough to have a friend loan me this lens for a couple of days and it covers the most widely used focal lengths required for professional work. I wasn't hunting around in my bag for a lens to get closer to my subject and I could easily pull away and get a nice wide shot. Lightweight and easy to focus - it just feels good. You will need a flash for indoor shooting, though. Get one - it might be the last lens you will ever buy.

SELLER AND AMAZON HAS GIVEN ME NO HELP ON THIS ORDER. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR A MONTH TO RECEIVE THIS ORDER BACK AND FORTH TO SELLER AND AMAZON WITH NO HELP FROM EITHER, I WANT MY MONEY RETURNED

A compact lense that provides the ranges needed in the most common photo opportunities. 28MM wide angle doesn't create the fisheye look like some lenses. The AF zoom does well for the far shots. The mid ranges shots are very good, not perfect (this may have more to do with the AF camera). The weight of the lense does not make focusing or operation of camera any more difficult than a standard 70MM lense. The zoom function is a bit stiff.
This lense is sensitive to shock and banging, so be careful. This is my second lense from Sigma. The first one locked up somehow at 80MM. I don't mean that it's not durable. I've used this lense on my roadtips and on hikes. Jus be careful, it is a zoom lense with moving parts.

The lenses optical does provide good shapeness and color. Focusing is quick and manual focusing is good.

Overall, the features you get for this price is well worth the investment.

We have a Canon SLR (IX, I think). It's the precursor to the Rebel 2000. Anyways, we had an older Sigma 28-200mm lens that somehow got out of whack. It would no longer focus on close objects. We went to a local retail outlet (Wolf), and bought this to replace our older Sigma 28-200mm lens. The addition of the macro functionality is superb.

We can now take excellent pictures of our son (telephoto) and also landscapes and scenery (wide angle). This is an excellent general purpose lens.

I ADORE this lens. Sigma has the greatest lenses in the world. ONE lens to shoot MOST EVERYTHING. I enjoy being able to take one lens, the camera, film and a few filters to shoot 98% of everything in the greatest of detail. NO fumbling back and forth for the correct lens. It is the closest thing to an all-in-one (zoom), you can find. The 28/200 is worth the money. Less hassle, Great Quality. My photos are Excellent.

This is a nice compact lens at a great price! It fits so easily into a camera bag and is great for travel and just having a all-around general purpose lens with a great zoom...it's really like having 2 lenses in 1! (a 28-80mm, and a 70-200mm zoom lens). I really don't notice any aberrations in the picture quality, and it works just fine with the Nikon camera body. The only supposed drawback is that Nikon camera bodies purport to use a "3D Matrix Metering" system that allows distance to be used to enhance picture quality (and that feature only works on Nikon G and D lenses), but the pictures that I've taken in the automatic mode of the camera look pretty good. Anyway, to sum it up:
1. 2 lenses in 1
2. *very* compact, fits almost anywhere!
3. great price
4. good optics
