    This lens was not packaged securely and was knocking around during transit in an oversized box. Very dissapointed and now worried if damage was done and will this lens last long. Never again with this place.

    I found the lens to be unacceptably noisy in zoom operation. Also did not like just how much the zoom extended.

    This is my first 70-300 mm range lens.

    I am using it for canon 350d camera.

    I will not say that its bad 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 bad. Whenever I am trying to autofocus, it take very long time and in 80% it does get it correctly.

    - I don’t know why but the photos sometimes appers pinky !!!.

    - Actually the lens was heavier than what I was expecting. When I bought it I didn’t see anything regarding its weight 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 weight it was broken after fall down from low height.

    I recently replaced a broken Nikon 70-210(gorgeous lens and photo quality) with this Sigma.

    Although it is sharp and is a good lens for the price, it just doesnt have the umph I expected, and was used to with my Nikon.

    Ergonomically – the zoom ring tends to sick right around 200. Makes working with this piece rather annoying.

    Good luck.

    I bought this and it didn’t work properly out of the box. Attached it to my Canon 20D and right away got an error message. When I looked it up it just said you’ll get that w/non Canon Lens. I don’t even know 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 that did NOT work right out of the box. I decided I wanted to return it fully and not exchange 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 that didn’t work. I paid $30 to Ace Digital for a product that 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 should make you pay any amount at all for a product that doesn’t work.

    I would recommend to anyone buying cameras/equipment thru Amazon to skip right over Ace, it’s just not worth the hassle this shady company gives you. I’m surprised that Amazon even lets them be an official merchant.
