Advantages: hardy

Disadvantages: heavy

I bought this lense to go with my canon eos 450d. I really like the lense, its easy to use (once i got used to it being the other way around to my canon one, i.e turns opposite way to focus!). I'm really pleased with the lense. you can zoom a really long way and the pictures which come out are still perfect. the lense it quite heave, but so are more lenses of this size. I can't fault it though. it comes with its own carry case, which is quite nice and end caps (obviosley!) I can't fault the lense at all, i recently dropped it from about 2 feet, onto a roack, which it then rolled and bounced down for about 3 feet. i was dredding the worst, but the lense is still fine, and works without a problem, which i think shows just how hardy sigma lenses are. great piece of equipment for your kit bag.

the lense weights just under 1kg and is a f/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens.

Summary: better lenses are available, but for the price...............
