Mission Complete, the review of the Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 SLD DG Macro Lenshas ended. There is not much more to say, it’s a decent lens for a decent price. I do own this lens, so it will be used a lot. So let’s do a recap.

Testing

On Day 1 I focused on the build and ergonomics of the lens and it’s general performance with my D90

On day 2 it was a Dog Day of summer and I was on a Photo walk in New York with the Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DG Macro

On Day 3 it was all about sports and how the Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 SLD DG Macro Lensperformed during fast action.

On the Macro

The Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DG says it’s a Macro lens so why would you not use it? It’s fun during the summer time when flowers are abundant with provides perfect times to use the Macro feature. The Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DG Macro handles these types of shots very well. It’s not the best, though in an indoor light box or product shot setting. There is just too much fumbling being up close, for me anyway. I used manual focus and auto and i just did not enjoy the lens in this scenario.
