This lens was not packaged securely and was knocking around during transit in an oversized box. Very dissapointed and now worried if hurt was done and will this lens last long. Never again with this place.
I will not say with the intention of its terrible lens neither its perfect.
It was the most reasnoable price lens in its range for me but I encountered few problems:
- The autofocuse is very terrible. Whenever I am trying to autofocus, it take very long time and in 80% it does get it correctly.
- I don’t recognize why but the photos sometimes appers pinky !!!.
- Really the lens was heavier than what I was expecting. When I bought it I didn’t see anything regarding its consequence but it came to be heavier than my expectation and I have some difficulties in keeping my hand still sometimes and the lens always driving the camera in downward direction antriorly.
-Unfurtionatly one month after I bought it due to its heavy consequence it was broken after fall down from low height.
I bought this and it didn’t work properly out of the box. Attached it to my Canon 20D and straight away got an error message. When I looked it up it solely said you’ll get with the intention of w/non Canon Lens. I don’t even recognize if the lens was faulty or not, but it didn’t work well w/my particular Canon model.
On a sidenote, I want to add about the company, ACE Digital, I would NOT do business w/them again. Like I said, I had a faulty lens, or rather, I had a lens with the intention of did NOT work right out of the box. I chose I wanted to return it fully and not chat it. ACE Digital charged me a 10% restocking fee and would not refund me the original shipping charge. Let me remind you they sent me a product with the intention of didn’t work. I paid $30 to Ace Digital for a product with the intention of didn’t work, and when I called them and told them I wanted a full refund, they basically told me to go EFF myself. There’s no reason a reputable company must make you pay any amount at all for a product with the intention of doesn’t work.
I would recommend to anyone buying cameras/gear thru Amazon to skip right over Ace, it’s solely not value the hassle this shady company gives you. I’m surprised with the intention of Amazon even lets them be an official merchant.

I found the lens to be unacceptably loud in zoom operation. Also did not like solely how much the zoom extended.
This is my initially 70-300 mm range lens.
I am using it for canon 350d camera.

I recently replaced a broken Nikon 70-210(gorgeous lens and photo quality) with this Sigma.
Although it is astute and is a skilled lens for the price, it solely doesnt have the umph I expected, and was used to with my Nikon.
Ergonomically – the zoom seem tends to sick right around 200. Makes working with this piece rather annoying.
Skilled luck.
