Product Description
This MACRO lens covers all the focal lengths from 28mm wide angle to 300mm telephoto with 10.7:1 high zoom ratio as well as macro capability. 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 MACRO packs a lot of performance in a compact package with ultra compact dimensions that make this lens the ultimate traveling companion. It's the ideal lens all types of photography and optimized for digital SLR cameras.The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.This lens features one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element and one aspherical lens in the front lens group, and one SLD glass element and three aspherical lenses in the rear lens group. This lens provides excellent correction for all types of aberrations.This MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto, allowing a reproduction ratio of 1:3.This design allows for stability and compactness in design as changes in focus are made in an internal lens grouping. This also gives the advantage of a non-rotating front lens assembly, which is of great benefit when using polarizing filter and Petal-type hood.This MACRO lens is equipped with a zoom lock to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight, and to offer protection whilst the lens is being carried.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!! LOVE this lens!   October 20, 2008
Charlene Pierpoint (Baltimore, MD)
I love this lens. The pictures are crisp and the price was perfect. The only complaints I have is that it's a little slower than the canon lens I have with zooming.

Sigma 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DG IF Macro Aspherical Lens for Canon SLR Camerasgreat lense great price , excellent for single lense typically used


4 out of 5 stars great lens for the price   August 8, 2008
I. Iyadurai (st louis, mo, usa)
I have been using it for a month. It works great. Even at 300 zoom, I could take pictures without shake outside without a tripod. I take atleast 2 shots to make sure the focusing is perfect. Cant beat this lens for the price. I am very pleased


1 out of 5 stars Poor Image quality   May 2, 2008

You get what you pay for....this lens is not even as good as the 18-55mm lens that comes with the Rebel Xti camera. I took over 100 pictures and 2 of them were usable. I tried it on every setting and speed I could find. And the image quality was still poor. In my opinion you are being foolishly optimistic if you expect to pay $260.00 for a 28-300 zoom lens and get high quality images. I will go back to Canon now.


5 out of 5 stars Great 28-300mm zoom lens for under $200   April 21, 2008

I tested out my lens by taking non-flash photography at a table tennis event. The pictures turned out very well. Only a few shots were blurred but that may have been due to camera shake (I didn't even use a tripod).
