 Not for all cameras July 29, 2010
David Manning (Bangor, PA)
WARNING if you have a low end entry level DSLR then you will probably want to buy this. This camera lens does not have a motor in it and if your camera does not have a motor in it, it will not autofocus. Wish I would have known before my purchase, or I would have saved up for the nikor 55-200mm.
 What I received wasn't what I ordered. July 22, 2010
James Lanphear (Seabrook, Texas, US)
The listing indicates that this is an auto-focus (AF) lens. The box and the documentation that came all indicated that it was an AF lens. The actual lens itself was not an AF lens. I don't know if this was just a mistake on someones part (accidentally put the wrong lens in the box) or what. I was very disappointed. I ended up returning it and purchasing the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Zoom Nikkor Lens for $65 more and I am very happy with it. I will say that the quality of the Sigma lens itself was very acceptable for a budget oriented lens. It fit well and operated smoothly. The Amazon return process was very easy and went smoothly - I appreciated that.
 Great lens for the price May 4, 2010
J. Simpson (Cumming, GA, US)
Light weight, fast focus, pictures are of good quality with little noise.
Used it for my niece's wedding and am very happy with the pictures.
Great lens if used properly March 13, 2010
V. Morrison (New Jersey)
I was hesitant to buy this lens because of the reviews of it being slow to auto focus. I'm glad I bought it for myself because it's great. It's not slow to auto focus if it's used with adequate lighting. It's not an indoor lens, but can do extremely well indoor if coupled with a flash on the hot shoe. The IF is not enough to help this lens.
Focusing is not a problem as long as the lens can see, it needs light indoors. Buy a flash!
Excellent DOF. Sharp photos. Quiet.
Have no fears when buying this lens, just know how to use it, give it light when indoors and it will perform beautifully.

Received the lens and it has a flaw on it. Could not get it replaced. Guess you get what you paid for, I would say spend a little extra money and get a good lens.
