Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Focus Speed

focus speed test of my new Sigma lens. I think that it is quite good speed. i do not have any problems with it. the built in motor is a bit noisy but not to much. for me - good and cheap lens ;)

i have just bought this lense the APO sigma 70-300 and i cant get it to auto focus on it, am i doing something wrong? i have it mounted on the nikon D5000;

thanks

@andyrands There is a switch on the lens, which control focus. Change it form Manual to Automatic and it will work. If its not there must be some problem with the connectors of your lens.

[nietypowy33]

@jellevdsteeg Lens, protection case, lens shade, warranty and manual :)

gahh, I have that lens too, but I dont use it anylonger, its sooo sloooow! and loud! and too soft photos from it!

Probably the crappiest shit lens ever! xD I know many who bought it that just kept it on the shelf forever.

I think I will be as well buy an ear plugged every time I will be using this.

@IrfanYusuf2000 As an alternative I suggest a cheap NIKKOR 70-300 4,5 - 5,6 G (not the VR).Cheap but not a junk at all: decent value for money,pretty fast focusing,lightweighted and you should easily get a good buy on the 2nd hand market.I'm happy with it (take a look at Ken Rockwell's review).

@sasquie2

The Sony version don't have a motor, but is driven from the body itself.

I have this lens also, but for Sony. I must say that AF is much slower, but i think it's caused by slow Sony AF.

Sir, does this lens fit canon 600d/eos t3i?

whats the major difference between a macro telephoto and normal telelphoto zoom lens sir?

[patagoniapress]
