@herrjonna2007 yes it does.. if you want to use a circular polarizer you have to lock the focus then rotate the filter.

[@Sacharczuk21]

@andyrands im 90% sure you have to set the aperture ring on the lens itsself to the highest number it should be highlighted then put the lens back on and see if it works

[@tiulloyd2]

@physco479 yes it will.. actually i tried it with my d5000 and the auto focus was flawless.. d5000 also doesn't have a focus motor so yes!

[@shimric20]

It's 90% the person holding the camera, 10% equipment.

[@MithEd1987]

looks so good! I've ordered mine :D which camera do you use it with??

[@ridecrazy11]

Im not bagging on you or anything, But i'm very new to DSLR photography and this lens was a great lens for me it obviously isn't going to be as great as the 70-200 but I got very sharp looking pictures out of it. I also used manual mode it worked 100 times better than auto focus.

[@MWoody92]

@jaypeepilar I think it is compatable, not sure about indoor shooting though

[@Tim_3100]

i use this lens on my Sony alpha and its not that bad a lens , yes its styling is a little iffy , the AF is quite quick for a budget lens , the AF noise is not going to upset animals except the most shy i have taken pidgeon shots at less than 1.5ft with flash and have not flown away. i still prefer this lens over the original Sony 75-300mm which i owned , that was a little quieter but the images were very poor at 300mm.

@jaypeepilar not really good to shoot at shutter speed of 1/15-1/40 .. because its very heavy and hard to balance and very more valnurable to camera shake but for outdoor shooting nd shooting using a tripod !! its THE BEST .. since i bought .. i don't know where my 18-55 kit lens is anymore =P its worth it believe me

[@rowair1997]

@MithEd1987 READ THE DESCRIPTION.....pentax K20D!!

[@Mo3run]

@chaplinlau then the canon 75-300

[@tinkerfan5]

@ataylor073 Don't know what camera and stuff you have but I still make great pictures for horseriding sport with it (Jumping, cross country) and trust me, that goes a lot faster than basketball or football. :) It's all about the settings and your camera.

[@FinlandApollo]

@Acidrain1993 Well, high ISO makes pictures grainy and you loose all details. And plus, you lose some contrast. I agree thou that slow lens can handle fast moving subjects. But if you shoot in some difficult location, I would recommend better lens. This is overall ok lens, but don't use >200mm focal length, the quality is terrible...

[@andyrands]

i heve just bought this lense of ebay and unless i am doing something wrong i can not get it to auto focus on my d5000, i have tryed it on all the settings even auto and nothing happens, is the lense knackerd or am i simply doing something wrong, please could you let me know. thanks Andy

[@jaypeepilar]

Is this lens compatible with canon D550?. . .and is this good for indoor shooting?

[@karloxxxss]

well, i want to know what is the difference with a nikkor one??? and how it works with a d5000???...thank a lot!!

[@mohitp2018]

I have my canon eos 550d, shall I purchase this sigma lens?? Some of them tells that the lens gives probem in canon eos 550d... I am confused to select a lens for my eos 550d.... It is preferable or not?? If not pls tell me another lens for my dslr..... :)

[@herrjonna2007]

Does the front elements rotate while focusing??

[@tinkerfan5]

@ataylor073 Don't know what camera and stuff you have but I still make great pictures for horseriding sport with it (Jumping, cross country) and trust me, that goes a lot faster than basketball or football. :)

[@ataylor073]

For all those looking at this lens, DO NOT BUY! I purchased this lens thinking it will be the best thing since sliced bread when I was getting into DSLR cameras. 70-300 you cant get any better. This lens works great outside during the day and on static objects. It does not produce a sharp image and you can forget about fast moving shots. Kids football, daughter basketball ;-( SAVE UP AND get the sigma 70-200 f2.8 300% better lens and better quality in your pictures.

[@jimz221291]

is this lense compatable with nikon d3000?

[@DonaticX]

I have this lense too.....i hated it ^^ in two months i will buy the canon 70-200 f2.8 ^^

[@123456789rienn]

@Necromax3 that is not a 550d

[@geremgold]

Not really good if you use a polarising filter due to the rotative aspect of the lens

[@Whatisright]

@ataylor073 if you bought a lens at f4-5.6 and expected it to shoot sports shots then you jipped yourself.

[@chaplinlau]

@ataylor073 @400%+ the price?

[@FinlandApollo]

@tinkerfan5 no, just no. Its not all about your setting and camera, shitty lenses produce shitty pictures. There isn't any way to improve it. No matter what you do, its just won't get better. I agree with Ataylor073, save money for 70-200 f2.8 and you'll see the difference. In horseridign sport it would work VERY well, I promise :)

[@Foodfast123]

Who's Marco?

[@MakotoJay]

damn that lens is pretty noisy, it sounds like robocop walking.

[@1mannlan]

@MsGeiisa -slow unprecise Autofocus (horrible one, for me and other guy who got this one...) -average image quality (colors, abberations, softness are not that good, but okey for the price) Better get a Tamron or smth else instead of this one.

[@1mannlan]

Crappiest lense i've ever had!

[@housemusic01988]

was tust du da ???? es gibt echt wenig sinnfreiere videos auf youtube :-D
