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

Pros: high sharpness in certain focal, very good in others, incredible contrast and colors, with the multiplier 1.4 sigma quality remains excellent, solidity.

Cons: High weight, the absence of a stabilizer.

Opinion: I was undecided on that optical tele take after using for a long time the Canon 70-300 is usm to be mounted on the newly arrived Canon 70D. rnVolevo a zoom that would do justice and that possibly not fall below the 300mm. rnAvevo identified the 100-400 and classical style that is now used at a very low price, or the 70-300 L series with very mixed opinions. rnPer via indecision was stalling and was considering the 70-200 f4 it is necessary to multiply (because dl lightweight transportability and fantastic optical yield) rnPoi I stumbled into SIGMA 100-300 F4 HSM that sincerely not considered own. rnVisto the attractive price I wanted to try. rnrnBhè after the test was love. As merits has a sharpness impossible to find for optical at this price, fast focusing (but not Lightning-fast) and a color rendering which I personally prefer to that of the Canon 70-300 L rnUniche flaws are weight and asenza of the stabilizer. rnrnComunque I surprised by the optical performance of the tests I did with my friend and I possessor of 70-300 Lsay that it is absurd as held blow at all focal .... indeed some even higher 135mm 200mm and 250mm being only inferior to 100mm and 300mm. I also tried the 70-200 f4 is not well here except to 100mm was still there as quality rather than 200mm higher. rnrnrnHo tried to multiply 1.4 and becomes a real war machine, only problem no monopod becomes really difficult to use: too heavy and long.
