Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 APO DG Macro

Phew, finally i am free to post some blog , recently is quite busy, can say that everyday is full with appointment like gathering with friends, photoshooting and meet up some friends. Of course , i do enjoy my current life although is very tired but just wish to spend more time with my friends before i back to nigeria.

I buy a Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 APO DG Macro when 2 week ago . Why i don't buy nikkor 70-300 VR ?

Reason:
1. Just try to save up the money and don't invest too much on tele lens, because i think i rarely will use it unless some fashion show event or animals/bugs shooting.
2. I had do alots review of this len, of course there are many bad comment on this lens, if you not demand too much on the quality, there is not problem at all, just beware of the weather and not too dark.
3. Try to search some sample photo from flickr , the quality is not bad if you dont demand too much.

Pros:
1. Cheap
2. Cheap
3. Still is cheap :)

Cons:
1. Focus quite slow when at 300mm. Because it don't have VR.
2. Noisy motor if you dont mind :)
3. 300mm not sharp, need tripod if there is not enough lighting :) Maximum magnification between 200mm and 300mm is 1:2.9 to 1:2.

Maybe i try to post some sample, all photo below is original, i never edit at all.... just to share some information for the buyers.

Conclusion, this lens quite good for using portraits shooting but marco is not that sharp if compare Tamron 90mm. Prime Len always provide better result. Of course, i believe that every photo need to be touch up to provide better visio. Sigma 70-300mm only provide normal sharpness at 70-200mm, if you able to touch up abit, that will be more perfect .

Enjoy shooting :)
