The AF feature is fairly decent, getting a nice clear focus within the 100-400mm focal length, in my experience. Beyond 400mm, the focus is less accurate, but the option for manual override helps in those instances. The AF feature is also on the slow side, so getting yourself acquainted with the manual focus may be helpful for capturing flighty birds or other fast moving objects.
The optical stabilization feature also works great, allowing for smooth viewing even in high movement shots. There are two options: full stabilization, or isolated horizontal/vertical stabilization for tripod viewing. Occasionally, there can be a slight jump or "jitteriness" in the stabilization, but this is typically minor and does not last long.
Lastly, this lens seems to do well in a variety of lighting situations. Attached to this review are pictures taken by myself in everything from the beating summer sun to cloudy skies. The lens performed well in all situations! I find many of the limitations in picture quality may be stemming from me using an entry-level camera body, and aren't the lens itself.
All-in-all, I strongly recommend this lens. It is well worth the money, and is probably one of the best values for a telephoto lens out there.

Sigma offers a very high quality lens and excellent value compared to the Canon equivalent. With a lens of this size and weight, you absolutely need to use a tripod to mount the lens when at the 400-600mm range, to get the sharpest results. In daylight, you will still need a solid support or secure grip to ensure stability.
I look forward to warmer weather and getting out to test this lens further, but so far, very impressed.

The image quality was very good. Occasionally the auto focus would not work at all....I assume because it was so far out of focus it would, freeze up. But it acted like it was not even trying--just frozen. I would have to either find something else to autofocus on or manually focus to get it out of its lock up. Occasionally. Other than that the focus, most of the time, work well.
Its heavy, and well built, and was not a problem for me to walk around with it hanging around my neck, and I think the weight would help with stabilizing during hand-holding. With the right tripod/head, and in good light, it would be a great lens for wildlife if you did not already have a quality 300/400mm lens--well worth the price. But only in good light, as with my 300L on the crop sensor.
If I chose this lens I would consider a gimble style tripod head or whatever was stable enough to get solid shots at the 400mm+ range.
I like the smooth but resistant focus and zoom rings and lock button to hold the zoom in any place that you want.
Top reviews from other countries
A little heavy, but not unreasonable. Make sure you have a very sturdy tripod. I have a weak one and it bounces a lot. Had to order a stronger more rigid one.
You can get some decent pictures of Saturn and Jupiter that you can work into a good image in post processing. The moon is crisp and clear with this.
Just ordered the 2x teleconverter, so I’ll review that later after I have had some use with it. I’ll add an update to this one as well.
Overall I am happy with this one. Hopefully after some more time with it I will have the focus intricacies sorted out and have a better idea what this lens can really do.
A tener en cuenta:
- Es un objetivo grande y pesado, para estar quieto en un sitio, enfocar y disparar. Colgar la cámara del cuello con este objetivo para ir andando con él no es para nada viable. Para eso tienes el 70-300.
- Se te va a hacer durillo enfocar y hacer zoom sin un trípode, aunque se puede hacer. Recomendable usar trípode si vas a estar un buen rato haciendo fotos.
- La nitidez de las imágenes es una maravilla, lo he probado con aves pequeñas pero me falta irme a un puesto de observación de aves. Aún así el resultado es muy bueno.
- En la caja viene una bolsa para transportarlo, correas para la bolsa y el objetivo, el parasol y el objetivo

bisogna acquistare l'adattatore, mantiene un messa a fuoco perfetta , il costo è accessibilissimo,
ovviamente non lo si può paragonare ai più blasonati Canon ma che costano 7/10 volte di più.
Consigliatissimo
