| sent on 19 Ottobre 2024 Pros: Very bright and sharp in harsh conditions Cons: Obviously the weight! Opinion: I took the lens to use it for indoor sports (gyms are often very dark) and in the theater (even worse light!) and I must say that, used with R6 I found it very well (weight apart but that was known). I can't compare it with the fixed Canon 300 f2.8, but I'm really happy with it. I shoot mainly with a time of 1/1000-1/1600 with an aperture between 2.8 and 3.5. For the weight, I consider it to be used exclusively, for a common mortal like me, with a solid monopod and also a solid head on the monopod. |
| sent on 15 Giugno 2021 Pros: Incredible clarity, construction, stabilizer and excellent yield even with 2x multiplier Cons: High weight, lack of focus limiter and autofocus speed not comparable to newer models Opinion: After a few months of use I can give a review of this magnificent lens. I was looking for a lens for naturalistic photos and bird life, I wanted to replace the tamron 150-600 g1 and I was looking for something more performing especially in case of little light and I came across this lens right here on the market and, given the interesting price I decided to buy it. The construction is what is expected from a lens that from new cost about 3000€, beautiful, heavy and massive, only the lampshed is a bit plastic. The optical yield is exceptional, very sharp and with a wonderful blurr. The stabilizer works wonders while the focus is not comparable to canon house tops but is still accurate. In combination with the 2x sigma converter it loses almost nothing and turns into a 240-600 of respect. The only negative note of this objective, as far as I am concerned, is the weight. Combined with the canon 1dx it becomes really heavy and obliges the use of the monopiede. Highly recommended lens |

| sent on 25 Gennaio 2020 Pros: Superlative sharpness, boken, quality with 2x multiplier, very robust construction, the bracket comes in handy for transport being very heavy Cons: High cost, weight (long walks are not recommended), lack of a focus limiter, FAST AF (but very far from L-series canons) and unfortunately not up to all situations on fast-moving subjects. Opinion: What to say, once you buy the wallet for sure it is lighter, but its image quality gives great satisfaction. It's not for everyone, its weight really makes you feel, and carrying it with it sometimes was really gruelling, if mounted on monopod sits very well on the shoulder, and also the tripod bracket is very comfortable for transport. Too bad I don't have a focus limiter, and sometimes on fast scenes I missed some great scenes for this problem as the Af goes into tilt and does the whole lap before hanging up the subject, this for me is a big flaw in such a goal. Certainly if at the same cost the Af was on the same level as an L-series Canon would be the perfect target. Gives stratospheric bokens, holds up well the multipliers (2x in my case) Af slows down a lot though, but on subjects not in rapid motion churns out really remarkable files. |
| sent on 05 Settembre 2015 Pros: Sharpest, at least my copy, heavy (I like), fast AF and stabilizer top class. Cons: footprint and maneuverability hands-free Opinion: Extraordinary lens, heavy but well balanced, saturated colors and neutrals, af fast and stabilizer perfetto.rnse she weighed 3kg and was a real space-telescope as it would take forever behind, unfortunately, sometimes the convenience and practicality becomes necessary and this objective loses its plus.rni 300mm seem a little optimistic, compared several times with the Biancone if the beats hands down, sometimes I prefer images sigmone.rnUnico its limit as mentioned the weight and size, the weight that I also mentioned the virtues simply because we have the impression that he had in his hands the substance and having spent well over 2k to buy ... excellent lens! |

| sent on 07 Giugno 2015 Pros: Bright, great hiking and great for bird-watching and bird life. Cons: heavy and expensive. Opinion: When I bought it to replace my 100-400 I was impressed by the performance of color and definition. Taking it with me in the shed I realized that I would need to have both he and a fixed. Thanks to the brightness and the stabilizer I used without any problems even indoors as theaters and sports. Obviously we can not say that is a featherweight (about 3kg) and is also very eye-catching! |
| sent on 21 Maggio 2015 Pros: Bright and versatile. Cons: think and very expensive Opinion: Excellent lens for birdlife. It allows incredible shots. With the stabilizer can also take pictures indoors in theaters, museums, exhibitions, sporting events, etc ... The system focusing HSM is very quick and effective. Shame about the weight that is really so if coupled to a body such as 1d or 3DX becomes a rock, difficult to transport. In short, very good lens, if you have strong arms, back good ewd a good portfolio (costs about 2000 euro) |
| sent on 09 Giugno 2014 Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, supports very well the TC ... and 'objective' male 'and then not for the "little arms" Cons: Focus ring a little 'duretta, actual max mm 280/290 Opinion: After about six months of use with D7000 and D600 above with and without the two Tc sigma (1,4 / 2,0) I decided to give my opinion. Well I think this lens confirms what I had heard good comments from users: it has a versatility 'exceptional that is unparalleled in any competitor brand ... Indeed I have to say "that pay" lenses far more' specialized mother Nikon / Canon, leaving in his pocket to those who have the pleasure of having a lot 'of pennies to invest maybe elsewhere! We can mount the D7000 2x on keeping quality 'and speed' beyond expectations obviously in good light conditions. On D600 things improve as well, and thanks to the crop factor on the room you get an impressive range of focal lengths. With the 1, 4 have virtually no declines worthy of note at all focal lengths so you almost always keep it mounted. I use this lens in the shed (fixed or mobile) always on a tripod and I would say that does not lend itself to hunting itinerant given its weight. Thanks to it, however, I was able to photograph without stabilizer often well below the safety times without absolutely hitting the infamous micromoxed: for once the weight and size of a lens helps! rnAssolutamente recommended! |
| sent on 23 Aprile 2014 Pros: - Sharpness very high in all focali/aperturern- Great costruzionern-Stabilizer very efficacern-speed AF Cons: - Lack of Hood debolucciorn-limiter setup fuocorn slightly short-handle to carry it well Opinion: I was looking for this lens for a long time but I had never found a copy as you deve.rnFinalmente I bought a used perfect and I'm happy! RnPremetto I also owned the 300 2.8 L (First version) and I have tried along the IS version In addition I also have the 400 5.6 L (Light and versatile). rnrnLeggo that many complain of a lack of clarity in the TA, which I have not encountered in my version vramente sharp even at 300mm f/2.8. rnLavora fine with multipliers, with the 'Sigma 1.4x EX DG is fine the loss of sharpness very limitata.rnCon 2X (EX DG Sigma) is necessary to pay more attention, but the results are very good and fully exploitable as long as close to F / 8 - F / 9 . rnrnConsigliatissimo without reservation, but I recommend you try it first! The variability in this lens is very high! Rnrn |
| sent on 06 Febbraio 2014 Pros: Focal range and therefore versatility; f2.8 (subject); stabilizer; sharpness (with reserve) price Cons: Heaviness, poor sharpness at TA Opinion: I have long had the previous version is not stabilized and then I got to try it for a while even this stabilizzata.rnPurtroppo apart stabilization, convenient, and finishing stronger, I must say that despite the new optical scheme, even This new version of the sharpness in TA is not the best, and to get good results you need to close at least one stop, but I think it's also a matter of course for a zoom of genere.rnE 'but one thing to know before you buy because if you plan to use it often multiplied that TA is smooth then it is better to look for another, using a TA must be an emergency to stop the action in low light and you do not want to raise the iso too. I preferred to add to the Nikkor 70-200 VRII I already had the occasion to have a TC x1.4 zoom 98-280mm already very very sharp at room temperature (f4), because the Sigma is not actually own a 300mm but rather a 285/290mm. And if the interest is a major focus for caccia a great camera and sharpness already at RT without spending so much better then a Nikkor AF-S 300 f4 possibly multiplied x1.4 Some will say that it is not stabilized and ... oh well you can not have everything, but it is very handy and if you have the foresight to use a monopod or appropriate times the results are outstanding ... rnDunque recapping the Sigma lens unique, excellent, versatile, but not without "defects" that are in summary: heaviness, sharpness is not exciting at room temperature, shorter focal length of 300mm declared collar worse than the previous version in which he could be removed or put too lens mounted |
| sent on 23 Gennaio 2014 Pros: bright Cons: heavy Opinion: I must make a note on sharpness, after tests, tests and more tests, settings on camera focus on the end, I pulled the sums: in my opinion wide open this lens is not the best, to get incision is due to close at least 3 stop. I speak from manic clarity and cleanliness of image: I was expecting something more, a lens that even though economic and compared to nikon cano has its price!! |
| sent on 12 Settembre 2013 Pros: Sharpness, versatility, precision AF and performs well with multipliers, very good stabilizer that allows you to earn good 3 stop Cons: Weight / size, AF speed is not lightning as a 300mm f2, 8 Canon also for the lack of focus limiter Opinion: Bought including its sigma 2X multiplier for the same price of a 70-200mm 2.8 IS II used it, I was really pleased. Were it not for the weight of 3kg would take him around as if it were a multi-purpose when they are around and sometimes I do it anyway. Smooth is really sharp even wide open, you must close multiplied a bit 'but can get a clear 600mm f8 necessary. rnNon the lens is perfect, his only real limit is the speed of focus for me is great but for those who dare to compare it to the Canon 300 f2.8 which costs 3 times as much might seem slow. The accuracy is rather good in my opinion. rnAnche if size and weight are significant I would not call them a true bug, it would be how to report consumption between defects of a supercar. So how have not yet invented a car that can do 300 per hour with 20 km / lt, was not yet invented the glass that weighs half, so ... if you want to carry around a 300 f2.8 parties with the idea that in addition to photos you will do even a little 'toning andwith exercise! |
| sent on 06 Settembre 2012 Pros: Smooth image quality, image quality multiplied. Stabilizer efficient, brightness, price Cons: Weight and perhaps the lack of a focus limiter. Opinion: A lens unique, with a relatively low price for what from. The quality is very good, sharp images and contrast. On DX sensor I do not see vignetting, chromatic aberration minimal. It weighs a po'tanto for me, but may be used freehand. The optical stablizzatore does his duty, so much so that the viewfinder using the lens by hand with OS activated, the image is almost stationary, while disabling the image back to dance! A great bargain. |

| sent on 05 Febbraio 2012 Pros: versatility, sharpness, TA, fast autofocus, weather sealed, bokeh is fantastic Cons: weight manageable used duplicators with 1.4x and 2x sigma using it at maximum aperture is very soft with APSC Opinion: in general a very good lens suitable for all occasions smooth, Sigma 1.4x and 2x multiplier used with excellent results even at full aperture with a full-size cars while APSC (d300 and d7000) personal experience does not clear the whole damn Opening and must be at least close to f8 said that if used as it should be seen all the advantages of this fantastic lente.per any doubt do not hesitate to contact me. |
| sent on 14 Novembre 2011 Pros: Sharpest at room temperature, multiplied crisp, sealed, compatible with Canon multipliers, resistant paint, autofocus lightning, bokeh ... Cons: weighs a bit, but is well balanced ... I do not know that other defects find him, maybe the lack of a metal hood ... Opinion: The sigma 120-300 os ultimately is a great goal, its only flaw is the weight of 2900g of "goodness in olive oil," is certainly not a featherweight, but it is easily usable by hand as it is very well balanced, has a large image quality combined with an effective stabilizer, an 'opening of F 2.8, 300 mm focal multipliable up to 600mm while maintaining the autofocus, the practicality of the zoom with the quality of a disk. The bokeh is stratospheric .... A little reflection on the motor focus, very fast on a par with that of the canon, with 2x multiplier to the eye settles a little less fast 100-400 L Is Usm smooth before possessed. The stabilizer does his duty, but not by the merits because they are expert in doing comparisons, I can only say that the stabilizers between canon and sigma seem equal. |
