Sharpness is good at 300mm, even when using the largest aperture of f/5.6, Effective 4stop optical stabiliser, Robust build quality,
Autofocus motor is quite noisy in operation, Front element extends and rotates during focusing, Lacks the 0.5x macro facility of Sigma's older 70300mm APO lens
Overall, the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG OS is a good buy at the price, but it's still outclassed by the more expensive and Tamron 70-300mm VC USD lenses.
