This version of Sigma's popular 70-300mm DG lens incorporates Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabilizing) function, which allows you to use shutter speeds up to four stops slower than you would normally be able to hand-hold, making telephoto shots for nature or sports photography simpler. As well as counteracting shake to reduce blurring, the Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG OS Lens also addresses the issues of flare, ghosting and aberrations. The inclusion of the SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element ensures images are crisp and sharp and the colours accurate, while the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces occurrences of lens flare and ghosting and also contributes to the contrast of the image.  More

      Comments about Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG OS Lens - Canon Fit:

      I purchased this lens for use on my 5D MK11 and my 7D. Sharpness at the short end is good but above 200mm it is poor on both my camera bodies.
      As I needed it for the longer telephoto end, I am disappointed with it.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
