This objective is an upgrade from my old Sigma 75-300 zoom, which was beautiful in its time, but simply consumed. For those not familiar with the Minolta Maxxum series, we know that this lens has a very slow autofocus, but this is a limitation of the body and not objective, and is still usable. You can get more satisfaction to reach the point manually.

I like this. Very accurate at all focal lengths, the target of below average "flair", even without the lens hood included, and very comfortablein hand. The ergonomics are first class, you can hand all day without much discomfort, unlike the new Canon USM, which are really good and fast but very heavy.

The best thing is the macro function, which offers 300 mm with a ratio of 1:2. This translates to incredible close-up 300 shots just 9 inches! Great, but bring the tripod (you should have anyway).

Not a second of regret for that.

He started taking pictures with my Minolta Maxxum 5, which came with a 90mm lens. E 'was great, but I wanted more. As I love nature, take pictures and portraits, I need a macro lens. This adaptation of a bill. I highly recommend it to anyone. With the goal came with your camera and lens Sigma, I'll be set for a long time. It 's also very easy to use both autofocus and manual, and is not heavy or bulky to carry.
