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)
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!
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
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
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!!
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!
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.

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.
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.
