Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
$209.00
When evaluating the various telephoto zoom lenses in the consumer price range of $150-$250, this APO Sigma is the overall best option. The build quality is quite good in comparison to its competitors, and the same can be said about image quality as well. In addition to those qualities, it also offers the pseudo-macro function which although is not a true 1:1 macro, does offer some additional versatility.

But having said all those nice things, you still need to keep in mind what you're getting. The auto focus leaves quite a bit to be desired. While it is fairly accurate once it finds a point of focus, its often very slow to find that point. It's extremely noisy as well.

I've also noticed that it's a little soft towards the end of the focal range from around 275-300 unless you stop down to f/6-6.5. To compensate for that you need to either use a tripod, bump up the ISO, or have great lighting conditions.

Of course those issues could be addressed with a USM motor or IS capability, but then it would no longer fall into the $150-$250 consumer category.

In summary, this is a solid lens that out performs its immediate competitors in terms of image quality and build, but it's also not without its flaws. You can produce great results with this Sigma, but you just might have to work a little harder to get them. So keep your expectations reasonable, and you'll be happy with this lens.

Casio Men's Wave Ceptor watch #WVQ550A-1A1V
$180.00
This watch seemed like a good product until it started "getting behind" on time and then stopped working altogether after about 4 months. We contacted the manufacturer to get a replacement, and we were offered a choice of 3 clearly inferior quality watches. After pointing this out to them, we were ultimately given a better watch than the watch we originally purchased.
