Pros: Fabulous clarity.

Cons: The absence of the stabilizer I don't think can be considered a defect since sigma introduces it 4 years after the release of the lens. If it had a little more friction in manual focus I wouldn't mind.

Opinion: I use it on an SD4 where it is very well balanced on a tripod. Very convenient to use freehand. Solid mechanics, comfortable lens hood. Wonderful sharpness at 300 mm, I used it at f/8, but also excellent at lower focal lengths. I often use manual focus, if it had a little more friction I wouldn't mind, but it's my need of course. I was surprised by the quality. If you find it, for the cost it has on the second-hand market, it is really a valid possibility.

Pros: Construction, sharpness, blur, af speed.

Cons: Not easy to find in the second-hand market

Opinion: Bought used a month ago at an affordable price worth every penny it costs. A fixed 100-300 f4 of this quality will no longer be offered nowadays. Well balanced and not too heavy, I find it very handy. Excellent sharpness as well as blur, on the D780 it renders very well. Quick to focus and built with quality materials. The only drawback was the lack of stabilization, but the costs and weight would have been very different. But that's perfectly fine.

Pros: Fast autofocus, soft and precise bezel, exceptional sharpness, tripod bezel

Cons: Quite important weight

Opinion: I was looking for a photographic hunting lens and found this almost by chance... combined with the nikon d300 and the sigma tc 1.4 there is fun without fainting and without being afraid to slip into the bush ... Always excellent sharpness, quite quiet and a massive body feeling from pro optics with a very fast autofocus, tends to slightly overexpose... Found at less than 300 eurini with 2 years warranty.... advised

Pros: sharpness versatility versatility thanks to the excellent yield with the sigma 1,4x autofocus very fast

Cons: lack of stabilizer

Opinion: I bought this lens with some doubts, but I must say that it is an exceptional lens very clear to 300, but even using it multiplied does not disappoint the expectations, the stabilizer is missing and this for some could represent a limit of course if it were equipped would be better but at least for me it is not a problem, the autofocus is a splinter and even multiplied it retains all its effectiveness, what to say for me a great optics too little known but that I think represents a high level choice that despite the age of his project still holds head to today's optics of a certain level you can find it!

Pros: honest lens that works well, cost / quality '

Cons: Stabilizer if I have to name one

Opinion: I used this lens for outdoor rugby and I found myself very well, the relationship between the quality 'and the cost and' excellent for those without high budget and does not want the original lenses, no problem back focus as sometimes it happens with Sigma lenses. I replaced it with Pompone the Canon 100-400 which for me seemed impossible at the beginning, two completely different lenses, both as yield as a cost but it depends on the portfolio and those 'interested
