Sigma 4.5 5.6 APO DG OS HSM LENSES
Jul 5, 2021 20:13:43 #
Hi all, I have a chance to buy this lenses. I know it’s an older lenses but for a lil more reach I feel it may be worth it. I don’t know much about Sigma. I read some reviews and they look ok to me. The owner says it is in very good condition and not used very much. I will be taking a look and taking a few pictures with it tomorrow and I am just wondering if anyone has had some experience with this lenses. If so opinion’s welcome. BTY I am on a limited income, hence buying used is what I can afford. Thanks in advance. Joe W.

Focal length(s)?
Most Sigma lenses currently made are all of excellent quality if not damaged by previous user.

This is an old review, tested with 10mp crop camera and 12 mp full frame, and only to 250mm on the full frame camera. It's hard to draw a conclusion from the review, especially with today's 20+ mp cameras. This review is a little more current, and shows it to be barely mediocre, rating it at 2-2.5 out of 5.

I used the Sigma 150-500mm for many years until I sold it and bought the Sigma 60-600mm lens. I took some really good photos with that lens.

Limited budget was mentioned.
I use so called poor lenses on higher mp camera and they are just fine.
Today really hard to find a bad lens in the last 30 years.
Only pixel peeping will show a difference.

I have four sigma lenses. And they all work great. It sounds to my that you might be wise to make this pruchase.
