great value for a powerful zoom lens great value for a powerful zoom lens. The images are pretty sharp, and auto-focus is fast.The only complaint is not about the lens itself but about its description. In its compatibility search, it says the lens for Sony SLR mount ‘compatible’ with Sony a6000 but is is not. I had to buy the lens for Canon mount, and buy a separate Sigma MC-11 Mount Converter to make it fit.
My first impressions were very good. The lens seemed sharp throughout its range I got this lens only a few hours ago, and immediately put it to the test. My first impressions were very good. The lens seemed sharp throughout its range. I compared shots with it and with two highly-regarded zooms I already own: the Canon EFS 15-85 and the Canon EF 70-300L. Of course the two Canon zooms were sharper, but not by much. I found the Sigma results quite acceptable. Curiously, unlike many other superzooms, the lens gets sharper at its longer focal lengths.I wasn’t…
Good lens It’s a good lens. Pictures are reasonably sharp. I added some pictures I took at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego
