Sigma 70-300mm APO DG MACRO Lens Unboxing and Review

[SemiPhotoPro]

If they gave you a free filter......take it off and buy a quality filter. A free filter is not quality and will effect image quality.

[Mulxer]

CUBEBANKA CUBE ! 

[xMrJohn97x]

will this work on canon eos 1100d?

[NFphotography14]

@xMrJohn97x Yes, it will. As long as you but the canon mount version it will. You do not need any adapters for this lens to work with the 1100D. I have a 1000d and am buying this very soon.

[Youmidt]

Does this lens have image stabilizer or vibration compensation? 

[HeitzelSkatesAustin]

WIll This Work On Canon 5d mark ii?????

[ladduro]

unboxing ha ??? you have a filter on dude... you fuck, you already unboxed.

[jammillamac1]

do you know if this lens work on the nikon D3100..???

[habadashery2009]

How is this a review? what is the image quality?

[HarrysAmazingTunes]

will this go on the nikon d3100 ????

[billyandika3158]

@HarrysAmazingTunes Yes.

[AwesomeAlex420]

Will this fit on a Nikon p500?

[billyandika3158]

@AwesomeAlex420 Sorry, the P500 is a bridge digital camera and the protruding lens is itself fixed to the body. You won't be able to change lenses using that.

[poolpo17]

do you know if theres a big difference between the APO lense and just the regular DG one ?

[NFphotography14]

I'm buying this! Can't wait. I just love a big lens that extends, they always look so pro. !

[MrUltimateVideo]

[TheNikonD3100]

[guitarnerfguitar]

PLEASE HELP

[TheNikonD3100]

@guitarnerfguitar ya it basically works on all Nikon DSLRs

[IproLegendHDz]

Poor Mans Telephoto

[Redeemer05808]

Too bad the camera you recorded this with didnt have macro..

[8element]

day light only

[Blender19111992]

I'm thinking about buying this lense, and this video helped me very much :). Some says that AF is slow... bullshit

[themrjohnl]

does this one has VR or OS (vibration reduction?)

[Blender19111992]

@themrjohnl prabobly OS :)

[Devastationable]

@themrjohnl too bad i heard this lens doesn't have is :(

[DAA0111]

does it work on Canon?

[choppys007]

@DAA0111  hey does it work 4 conon 550d?

[DAA0111]

@choppys007 yes it does

[hastafenerlee]

perfect

[theUKBMX]

this or the tamron 70-300?

[TheCharientism]

Sounds like a fucking busted printer that they used to print out report cards on.

[gasknr]

its about as long as my dick

[gasknr]

its crap

[davidchan2461]

Dose it AF on D5100?

[DjRyanBeeden]

Is this lens better than the actuall canon 75-300 mm?!

[jubjuber1]

@DjRyanBeeden no of course not. the canon one isnt that anoyying buzzing autofocus. it has usm

[jaber0502]

I already have this one! And i think its awesome! Really like it..^^

[baldurstsiplakovs]

i wrote (in roamnian) that its really dull, but is good light its really a usable lens...or something like that :)...

[FurballRZ]

that is one really bad lens...

[Zerolei05]

do i have autofocus on an d3100 with this??

[Poison666lord]

@Zerolei05 yes...this model is the HSM model...so there is build-in motor on it...

[SweErnie]

3:00 Overcompensating for something? ^^

[zrsgamboa]

LOL @ the red ring on the front of the lens.

It's a Canon L lens wannabe.

[alextheromanian]

i read a ton of reviews saying this thing is really dull at 300 mm...is it true...and dont give me a "well for the money its sharp enough"

[baldurstsiplakovs]

@alextheromanian

da alex ..chiar e "dull"....dar pe lumina buna si f mare mai reusesti ceva cu el.....

[canadavey]

@alextheromanian Yes, sharpness drops off quite considerably after around 225mm.  After that you're better off to be shooting at around f/16 or higher to maintain sharpness.

[TheHundemann123]

is this lens good at sport pictures?

[Jolinator]

@TheHundemann123 wayyyy to slow

[baldurstsiplakovs]

@TheHundemann123

No it is not good for sports :(

[TheHundemann123]

@baldurstsiplakovs It actually is. Beacuse i bought it and putted a fisheye on the lens, and the pictures are gorgeus. I am not a newbeginner i photografy, i got lenses up to 5000 dollars, but this lens is a favorite!

[RavenOps520]

Lol I got the non APO for my canon

[vprasad007]

is there a AF/manual focus switch as well as the macro switch?

[baldurstsiplakovs]

@vprasad007 yes it is!

[vnk956]

hw did this vid get 130595 views

[ItsJustIndie]

For a sony camera, this lens or a sony 75-300mm?

[MrZakkD]

Would a petal lens hood work on this?

[BestLensCamera]

good

[DemonAMVs]

Could you send me the camera and the lens for free? Lmao. I am poor.

[fufifafifu]

One question?! For what Are the numbers 22 11 R 22 W good??

[WaWoWieWa]

holy shit... this lens makes more noice then my subaru legacy 2.5 turbo

[deiology]

I love it :D Wish you'd talk though :P

[ScotPhotography]

why dose canon let sigma use the red ring?

[aussiedave24nsw]

just got mine in the mail cant wait 2 use this weekend

[dandandandanflores]

@aussiedave24nsw so, was it good?

[aussiedave24nsw]

@aussiedave24nsw yer u get what u pay 4 it take good photos not great but good being its spose 2 be a macro lens but u cant get 2 close 2 the subjet becouse it wont take the shot even on manel focse so when i get back like a 1 metre the photo wont come out very clear

[theskatereport]

HELP!

what is the thing at... 39 seconds!?!?!

[billyandika3158]

@theskatereport that's the lens hood.. you attach it in front of your lens to prevent glare and lens flare

[bufo604]

@theskatereport Lens hood?

[5Sportfreak5]

I doubt that lens comes with a UV filter out of the box...

[175myles]

@5Sportfreak5, Some eBay companies offer the lens with or without a UV filter, so if this lens was bought on eBay it would have come with the UV already on the lens.

[billyandika3158]

@5Sportfreak5 the seller attached it and put it back in the plastic.

The filter was provided for free by the way :D

[shok2death]

I know a lot of people who bought expensive lenses but dont have enough brains on how to use it.the price is just right for the quality.dont be fooled on buying so much expensive lenses.

[175myles]

What an ugly lens!

[TheNikonD3100]

@175myles UR AN UGLY LENS....

[175myles]

@TheNikonD3100, you want a badge for that ultimate comeback?

[TheNikonD3100]

@175myles do you wanna prize for that attempt of a comeback?

[175myles]

@TheNikonD3100, How old are you? 10?

[TheNikonD3100]

@175myles actually im 15....and stop being a smartass cuz i see right through it.

[175myles]

@TheNikonD3100, More like it goes straight over your head.

[TheNikonD3100]

@175myles see that stupid comment.... im going to ignore it. because im mature and not a little baby like you. so gtfo and have fun buying a lens mr fussy.

[175myles]

@TheNikonD3100, I doubt you are mature with a comment like "UR AN UGLY LENS....", so when you grow up I'll start taking you seriously. Also, I quite like the look of my 70-200mm f/2.8 and my 50mm f/1.4.

[jesuislepluscool]

I love how the lens are like, bigger than the camera itself XD

[zixlz]

compatable with d3100? can it be switched out of macro and used for regular zooming?

[MrLenny1994]

This lens or a Tamron 28-300mm Non VC??

[VanillaCreamTeky]

@MrLenny1994 this

[TheMrrandomman1000]

would this lens be compatible with a nikon d3000

thank you

[WarcraftIIIEditing]

@TheMrrandomman1000 Yes it would because it is compatible with my D5000 and any lens that is compatible with the D5000 is also compatible with the D3000.

[RDProductions1001]

does this only work for macro or can you take telephoto shots of lets say, wildlife

[mikee12341]

is this compatible with d90?

[adrianrubi]

is it 1:1 on Macro?

[rocksarelive]

Thanks for posting this video, I have just ordered one of these lens and it is great to see it before it arrives. looks good.

[TraneGraffMaster]

damn thats a fast AF:|

[nordeanord]

i have the d3000 and going to buy this lens or the tamron, wich is the best and why, ? thanx alot , =)

[hellolauratube]

would this be compatable with a d5000?

[Nikonpro5000]

@hellolauratube Yes this lens is compatable with the D5000. I ordered one of these for my d5000.

[KARBONIZM]

sigma make shit glass, budget quality, I had the 28-300 and found that because it covers such a great focal length/range you end up with a lot of fall off/vignetting.. plus it's too slow and noisy..

[alkab78]

@KARBONIZM Thats not true at all! The reason why you had a bad experience with sigma is because of the type of lens with such huge focal range. You wont be able to find any lens with this "zoom range" an also get a brilliant imagequality to the price -unless you pay fortune! All pro photografers actually recommend Sigma lenses next after Canon. Your judgement is not fair to sigma, i think.

[abcJarrad]

wow it's quite nosy

[777janek]

nice review! how old are you? i'm 13. it extends a lot! i might get a Canon 55-250 though

[Mozo901]

That is one ugly horrible lens

[SweetButterfly189]

Consiglio: quando cambi l'obiettivo dei farlo con il corpo macchina verso il basso in modo tale che non entra la polvere nel sensore, quindi la parte dell'obbiettivo rivolta verso il basso, ok? ciao ciao

[trueefuschinick]

will this work for the nikon d3100? (:

[maxdenhaag]

@trueefuschinick how many times i need to say YES

(:

[gameboy228]

I bought this lens to do a bit of Macro shooting and am very disappointed in it's build quality and slow focusing. The switch that controls the Normal to Macro focusing is very temperamental and jams unless the lens is in just the right position. I also think it was the cause of my Canon's ERROR 99 shutter issue. I do not recommend wasting money on the Sigma lens's instead save and get the Nikon / Canon equivalent and you'll be much happier in the long run.

[Cameorn69]

might be a stupid question but what is that light that is coming on at 3:37?

[maxdenhaag]

@Cameorn69 autofocus help light

[gameboy228]

@Cameorn69 I believe that light is the "Red Eye" reduction light Nikon uses instead of a pre-flash burst.

[Nattacus]

"That means, if you are adult reading this, you should have enough money to buy a Canon/Nikkor/Sigma/Tamron/Toki­na 70-200mm lens for this sector, though it is 3 times heavier." We're so naive xD

[MrDolphinUK]

hi ! does this lense work in nikon d90? thanks

[Hispanico1989]

@MrDolphinUK Yes. you have to buy the Nikon version.

[polostarify]

AF is pretty slow!!!!

[jfally]

How does it autofocus when the shutter isn't halfway pressed?

[alexanderx8]

i have the nikkon D3000 if i buy this len..... i have autofocus .....or i must to do manual the focus?

[y2kroll]

300mm and no optical stabilizer, oh god... I fell like loosing 9/10 of my photos.

[rongthienco]

can you send me some of the test picture of this lens? :D i suggest take picture while on tripod :P

if you can send me the pics, thank a lot buddy :D

[cookiepwnsU]

would this be good coupled with my first dslr for doing nature and macro photography?

[maxdenhaag]

@cookiepwnsU Yes

[sayetan]

keep your camera downward when you change the lens, otherwise dust will get into your camera

[reyesroland69]

@sayetan i agree. and you are also exposing your LCD screen to scratches.

[dodonline]

it is compatible with Nikon D5000?

[maxdenhaag]

@dodonline yes

[reyesroland69]

@dodonline yes it is. bu the 28-300 is NOT compatible with D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D5000. it could have been a better lens than this one coz' it has a much wider aperture (at F3.5) than this lens. Quite a disappointment for a D3000 users.

[Spaeckli]

so this lens does have an autofocus and OS?

[maxdenhaag]

@Spaeckli yes i haz autofocus but no OS,

the sigma 70-300 dg os haz OS

Hope this helps

[carlosisapimp]

thats an ugly lens

[0BOYCE0]

i think it looks great, its just that I don't have the steadiest of hands so need an image stabilised model. Shame its £250 more and comes without that useful macro option

[NeWNemK]

Да с таким дулом не грех и в порнофильме засветится охуеть, что могу еще сказать то

[NurtruN]

Like Jodellstasic mentioned, the AF on most lenses isn't always reliable, especially when at 200-300mm using this lens. Although, even on MF I more often than not end up getting shoddy focusing, I mean, it's no fault of my own, but do you lot reakon that at 200-300mm I should be using a tripod near enough all of the time?

Many thanks.

[maxdenhaag]

nikon d5000 ?

[d3474mas73r]

Wich camera did you used to film this video?

[aw3some5]

Don't you just love that "click!" noise when you change lenses?

[Nattacus]

@aw3some5 heheh

[schrankwand1000]

@aw3some5 I bought all my 9 lenses because of the click sound. I adore this sound. =)

[Gutter1217]

so i just got this lens today and i can't get it to focus. i have a nikon d60. on the menus it doesn't even let me change it from MF or AF, & the lens does not move on it's own like that..i can't figure it out. did i get a busted lens or am i doing something wrong??

[mattandhisnikon]

Ok, a few tips here:

When you change lenses, always hold the camera so that the lens munt is facing downwards to minimise the risk of getting dust all over your censor.

Also, NEVER change lenses with the camera turned on - I noticed in this video that once you had the lens mounted, you auto-focused without having to turn the camera on. bad idea. ALWAYS keep the camera switched off when changing lenses...

[jellevdsteeg]

hey, really great video.

i want to buy this lens for my nikon d5000 dont you have problems with that the pictures are blury becouse it doesnt have vr? and can you use it without tri-pad or is that a problem? thanks for this video.

[Chinook249]

@billyandika3158 no, the red ring means it is APO. The non-apochromatic lens doesn't have the red ring.

[kaiyeechiu]

do this len focus well?

[ArkVProductions]

Great review. Thank you.

[Rezaroth]

I had this lens and the same camera you have here. slod them both. the lens made some strainge noise while focusing after long time of use, hope your won't.

thank you for the vid my friend :)

[sirNemanjapro]

Great review. :)

[HardflipXx]

Would you recommend the Tamron 70-300 Di LD over this sigma one? It's for my d50.

[AnswerBAK]

Autofocus is terrible and I never use it I find it to be a feature for people who don't know how to use a camera. Plus that shit jacks up the prices of most lenses.

[handsomelok]

the way you change lens is ... unbelievalbe

[Brenniman65]

Never change your lens with the camera body pointing upwards unless you want to speed up the dust process on the sensor.

[nat0000ham]

will it work on my d5000?

[ithree6mafia]

make sure not to use this lens in quite situation like a funeral, trust me

[tony77tony77]

how r the pictures on this lens?

[ithree6mafia]

you do know that in a "review" that you talk right? because that would of made it a whole lot better

[cherryeos]

i really need yr help, please tell me if this one works for canon eos 1000d, i am in egypt and can't find it at all so i am gonna get from the us, or germany but i am n a bad need to make sure that it will work with my camera..pls help me

[dontmailme77]

@cherryeos itt works very fine with EOS canon 1000D. But remember this, it doesnt have an Image Stabilizer. Sigma 75-300mm APO Super for Canon.

[ithree6mafia]

do you know if the APO is that much better than just the DG?

[thephotoperson]

want

[Timsalt3100]

is this the model with the cromatic elimation thingy

[donbelindo]

Well done video.

[faloc]

loud! xD

[jdskz]

donde lo has comprado¿?

[TheDentist09]

Why are people always so calm. I would be like a children on christmas.

[arvind1214]

does it has image stabilization

[HatroVille]

Is this worth the buy?

It doesn't have vibration reduction... will hand handled shots be hard too shoot?

[Makkopoli]

Do u like it?! I just orderd one :D

[casperandrachelle]

sweet!

[andymcwatters]

oops drunk again lol

[andymcwatters]

i bought this lens bacause og this video never had a problem exellent land thx

[JohnKevinBautista]

Thank you for sharing... Your Review is very good I can relate to it... :))

[jaypeepilar]

Do i need to specify my camera model, or will it be compatible to all DSLR? like canon T2i?

[MrNate0620]

@jaypeepilar the lens is made for most camera models just specify when you search it.

[ewalker1981]

anyone know if this lens will AF with a D5000?

[ACV006]

@ewalker1981 Answer is YES, this lens are with built in motor drive for the camera without integrated AF mechanism.

[ithree6mafia]

why dont u talk in this video, it would be alot better, because its fucken retarded reading ur bull shit at the bottom, good lens though

[HatroVille]

Handhendling Shots at 300mm without Image Stabalization (in sigma's term "OS") will the picture be good?... gosh I wish this lens had OS, would be perfect good lens for it's price

[ithree6mafia]

can this lens also telephoto like sports and still get good quality, also is this a good lens for portraits

[davidjoanne98]

Having just ordered this lens your video has helped me thanks

[RubenCraninx]

I have the sigma 120-400mm lens. And I am pretty pleased about it. It isn't the best telelens arround but if you look too the price of the same lens in the Nikkor or Canon class you get a good lens for a relative cheap price.

[Netoxflow]

I just order this lens and i think it's awesome!
