I'm looking to get this cheap zoom lens for my Nikon D300, I've used the nikon 70-300 VR before but not this sigma one. But someone has just offered me a "mint" one for a good price so I'd like to hear your opinions on this particularly for shooting at the 300mm end and also in macro.
I've read a few threads with people generally saying that its pretty sharp but I haven't read much on whether its any good at the 300mm end and whether the macro feature is useable.
Does anyone have any sample pics taken at 300mm? Is it too slow? Also, can you hand hold 300mm without optical stabilisation say for motorsport?
Oh and can you use a TC on it say to take it to 400mm+? Will it still AF?
Any known faults I should check before buying it?
So many questions! lol ... Cheers guys!![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
