This is a low cost and very versatile lens so long as one does not expect perfection. Not as sharp as lenses costing 3-4 times more (big surprise there), it is nonetheless good enough for most hobbyists. I bought it as a one lens choice for vacations and travel. I dislike carrying a bag and multiple lenses while traveling, but I wanted a wide zoom range at a low price. This fills the bill nicely. I am a bit disappointed in the telephoto end of this lens. My Tamron 75-300 brings things a good deal closer than does this lens's 300mm setting. I have tested them both at the maximum focal length on the same subjects, and the Tamron definitely renders subjects as substantially larger. I am not convinced we are getting the full 300mm focal length here. I think it's really somewhere around 250mm (either that or the Tamron is really more than 300mm). That being said, I am still happy with the lens over all. It's relatively light and compact and has a big zoom ratio even if its not quite as big as advertised. Macro works well. I have not been disappointed with image quality, although if I were shooting professionally I would want something a bit sharper.

This is my second Sigma 28-300mm lens. The Sigma lens has great zoom range, makes great images, is easy to operate, and will auto-focus quickly. My first Sigma lens lasted about 2 years from constant use and the zoom movement jammed due to keyway failure. The new lens I have now has a tighter zoom movement than the first one and I plan to take several thousand digital pictures with it.
Let's go take pictures!!
