[Foodfast123]

Who's Marco?

[FlyWire14]

PLEASE REPLY! Is this a good lens if im going to take nature photos and sport photos. ?

[1mannlan]

@MsGeiisa

-slow unprecise Autofocus (horrible one, for me and other guy who got this one...)

-average image quality (colors, abberations, softness are not that good, but okey for the price)

Better get a Tamron or smth else instead of this one.

[1mannlan]

Crappiest lense i've ever had!

Marco!-Polo!-Marco!-Polo!

It's 90% the person holding the camera, 10% equipment.

[herrjonna2007]

Does the front elements rotate while focusing??

[sedg]

@herrjonna2007 yes it does.. if you want to use a circular polarizer you have to lock the focus then rotate the filter.

For all those looking at this lens, DO NOT BUY! I purchased this lens thinking it will be the best thing since sliced bread when I was getting into DSLR cameras. 70-300 you cant get any better. This lens works great outside during the day and on static objects. It does not produce a sharp image and you can forget about fast moving shots. Kids football, daughter basketball ;-( SAVE UP AND get the sigma 70-200 f2.8 300% better lens and better quality in your pictures.

[Whatisright]

@ataylor073 if you bought a lens at f4-5.6 and expected it to shoot sports shots then you jipped yourself.

[chaplinlau]

@ataylor073 @400%+ the price?

[Mo3run]

@chaplinlau then the canon 75-300

[tinkerfan5]

@ataylor073

Don't know what camera and stuff you have but I still make great pictures for horseriding sport with it (Jumping, cross country) and trust me, that goes a lot faster than basketball or football. :)

It's all about the settings and your camera.

[FinlandApollo]

@tinkerfan5 no, just no. Its not all about your setting and camera, shitty lenses produce shitty pictures. There isn't any way to improve it. No matter what you do, its just won't get better. I agree with Ataylor073, save money for 70-200 f2.8 and you'll see the difference. In horseridign sport it would work VERY well, I promise :)

[Acidrain1993]

@FinlandApollo i think the point she was making was that if the lens is too slow for u, then a nicer camera body is going to make a big difference. of course nothing is going to make up for a cheapy lens' cheapy unsharp images. but a slow lens can work for fast moving subjects depending on how well the body handles high ISOs. But yeah, if u have a nice camera body, u should have nice lenses as well (like the 70-200 u mentioned)

[FinlandApollo]

@Acidrain1993 Well, high ISO makes pictures grainy and you loose all details. And plus, you lose some contrast. I agree thou that slow lens can handle fast moving subjects. But if you shoot in some difficult location, I would recommend better lens. This is overall ok lens, but don't use >200mm focal length, the quality is terrible...

[Timsalt3100]

i use this lens on my Sony alpha and its not that bad a lens , yes its styling is a little iffy , the AF is quite quick for a budget lens , the AF noise is not going to upset animals except the most shy i have taken pidgeon shots at less than 1.5ft with flash and have not flown away.

i still prefer this lens over the original Sony 75-300mm which i owned , that was a little quieter but the images were very poor at 300mm.

[MrKorean30]

hello sir! which is better--- Nikkor AF-S 200mm OR SIGMA 70-300mm?! what the difference between the two?! i dont know what's a good catch here?! thank you sir..

[jimz221291]

is this lense compatable with nikon d3000?

[andyrands]

i heve just bought this lense of ebay and unless i am doing something wrong i can not get it to auto focus on my d5000, i have tryed it on all the settings even auto and nothing happens, is the lense knackerd or am i simply doing something wrong,

please could you let me know. thanks

Andy

[Sacharczuk21]

@andyrands im 90% sure you have to set the aperture ring on the lens itsself to the highest number it should be highlighted then put the lens back on and see if it works

[physco479]

does this work with d3000? particularly with the auto-focus?

[tiulloyd2]

@physco479 yes it will.. actually i tried it with my d5000 and the auto focus was flawless.. d5000 also doesn't have a focus motor so yes!

[karloxxxss]

well, i want to know what is the difference with a nikkor one???

and how it works with a d5000???...thank a lot!!

[MakotoJay]

damn that lens is pretty noisy, it sounds like robocop walking.

[housemusic01988]

was tust du da ???? es gibt echt wenig sinnfreiere videos auf youtube :-D

[jaypeepilar]

Is this lens compatible with canon D550?. . .and is this good for indoor shooting?

[MWoody92]

@jaypeepilar I think it is compatable, not sure about indoor shooting though

[bu7esan]

@jaypeepilar not really good to shoot at shutter speed of 1/15-1/40 .. because its very heavy and hard to balance and very more valnurable to camera shake

but for outdoor shooting nd shooting using a tripod !! its THE BEST .. since i bought .. i don't know where my 18-55 kit lens is anymore =P

its worth it believe me

[Necromax3]

@jaypeepilar 550D, and yes it is

[123456789rienn]

@Necromax3

that is not a 550d

[geremgold]

Not really good if you use a polarising filter due to the rotative aspect of the lens

[Onewifagun]

I use the canon xsi with this lens and its stunning

[HatroVille]

Vibration Reduction included?

[Nualchemist]

Judging by the gold logo on the barrel, presumably it's OS (Optical Stabilizer).

[jgomes1992]

what size filter is that

[jbst22012]

@jgomes1992 58mm i think....

[ozzzyyy]

[MithEd1987]

[rowair1997]

@MithEd1987 READ THE DESCRIPTION.....pentax K20D!!
