This is a new zoom lens from Tamron that lets you bring your far away subjects up close while compressing the distance between the main subject and the background for professional-looking results. Even while covering up to a 500mm that enables you to take ultra telephoto shots of subjects further than the eye can see, its design is extremely lightweight and compact. When mounted on an APS-C size digital SLR camera, it provides a focal length equivalent to a 760mm for super ultra telephoto imaging. Less

Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 AF APO DG OS HSM for Canon

Cheap, lightweight, and decently sharp. Autofocus not ideal for wildlife

by tcchou71 , Jun 30, 2008

Pros: Decently sharp, long, cheap, lightweight.

Cons: Slow autofocus, no focus limiter. Minolta version front-focuses (though Canon is fine)

The Bottom Line: Almost a great lens, due to low weight, low cost, and good sharpness. But focus issues makes it difficult for wildlife photography.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: This is the THIRD time I have submitted this review to Epinions. My first review somehow vanished, only to reappear under, of all places, the Epinions listing for a SanDisk flash drive. I never reviewed that drive, and have no idea how my lens...

Stabilized long lens for < $850!!!

by tcchou71 , Apr 12, 2006

Pros: Light, long, relatively cheap and sharp.

Cons: No focus limiter. Tendency to front-focus. Soft, with purple fringing at 500mm.

The Bottom Line: Low weight and antishake make this a great long lens for hand-held shots. But I wish it had an autofocus limiter to help with flying birds.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: Epinions doesn't allow embedded images, which is a shame for camera/lens reviews. Hence, I've posted some images taken with this lens here:
