Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off .. this is a HEAVY LENS (you do need a tripod to help you out) and yes, that case it comes with (and the shoulder straps for the lens itself) is very HANDY INDEED (it stabilizes me and prevents it from falling when I put it on the camera body) but I do enjoy nature photography and nowadays being older, I have a rolling small airline case that I use to hold tripod, lenses and camera body So this one does indeed provide a great choice when photographing birds in wild (I wouldn't have gotten my eagle shots without it!)

Love the lens. Still learning. Heavy and bucky but very versitile. Great pictures and value for the price.

This lens is very well made. Does feel a little heavy but that's why it comes with tripod mount. Pictures are clear and crisp.

Takes great pictures, operates very smoothly. Focal length works well for grandkids sporting events and wildlife photography

Great reach and clarity super sharp and easy to use

Excellent telephoto lens for long range shots. Great for PI work, nature shots and sports shots. This lens is a manual and fully automatic. You just need a steady hand to handle this baby.

Love this lens. Coupled with the Canon EOS 80D DSLR, results in excellent pictures. Primarily shoot wildlife with this lens and have excellent results. This combination is very responsive and it is a rarity that I miss shots now. Lens quality is great for the money.

This is a great entry level lens into the world of telephoto photography. The best part is that this is simply a great lens. Take the time to purchase the Sigma Dock, so that you can tune the lens to your camera, and get absolutely razor sharp photos with precise bokeh.

Great birding lens for the money. I have a Canon t6i and they work very well together. A sturdy tripod is a must for spot-on pictures as it is rather heavy and not so much a hand-holding lens. I would definitely recommend purchasing the USB Dock to set-up the lens the way you want it and also to upgrade the software.

I bought this hoping the take bird pics with great depth of field and great picture quality and I was not disappointed concerning this but was totally pleased in picture quality. the only problem was that after holding the lens up for a while, I feel like the lens weighs about 10 lb(it does't really I don't think) but it still feels like it. I know you can use a tripod but I just usually grab and shoot. If you will use a tripod or have strong muscles it would be great and have great pic quality, but if you want convenience and lack arm strength I don't recommend. I was mixed on this!

So happy to find an affordable lens with the reach I needed!

You want the reach? This is the lens! Great image quality

Very good quality for the price. The glass is alot more clear than the factory lense that came with my camera! Highly Recommend

I spent 4 days photographing landscapes, water fowl, swamp critters, and purple martins under varying light conditions. The lens was fast, smooth, and the pictures were practically flawless. I recommend this lens to any novice photographer on a budget.

The price of this lens is good. Sharpness and focus are really good. Value for money lens.

This is such a great lens! Beautiful sharp pictures! I take a lot of bird pictures and they are sharp! I bought a cheaper lens elsewhere, and learned my lesson that I got what I paid for!

Lens gives great pictures of far away objects that can be cropped and still be clear pictures.

A special telephoto lens to get the job done. You can't ask for more. Sharp photos, low price, and friendly staff at Best Buy Rosenberg,Tx
