On most lenses,that manufacturers provides a focusing mechanism that extends only a few millimetres, partly to keep down cost and also to restrict the lens to extensions for which its optics are optimised. To provide additional extension,you can add one or more extension tubes between the camera and the lens, to make the lens focus at closer distances and it can produce higher magnification. When using the extension ring with a Canon body, the camera should be set in the 'M' mode.The macro extension tubes is fit for the Canon EOS cameras including 1D,1Ds,5D,10D, 20D,30D,40D,300D, 350D,400D, 450D, or any canon SLR Use this set,it will not downgrade the optical quality of your lens. Sharpness and Saturation can be still maintained. But they are not meter-coupled. They do not preserve the automatic diaphragm. It should be used with manual lenses with their own aperture dial. There is no electronic connection between the body and the lens. Automatic lenses can be used with their widest open aperture only. Package Includes: One macro tube set.

Very nice item at a price that's a fraction of the Canon equivalent. Easy to use and came with useful accessories.
By Richard Smith (Hull UK)
For the money this lens was excellent, however the one problem i have with it is when i switch from Macro to Normal telephoto it gets a bit "Sticky" until i zoom in and out once or twice, I am not sure whether it's a fault on mine, or with the product in general, so i am docking one star! The delivery was FIRST CLASS, it was here in 3 days all the way from the US, and came with a box full of extra cleaning goodies free of charge! brilliant! I was unsure about getting a Sigma lens, as they have a bit of a stigma, not being as good as the Cannon ones, but for the price I think its a great product!

This zoom lens is solidly constructed and has a smooth action.
It's macro function is a useful extra but be aware that it operates from 0.95m away at the closest! So you get ultra close up zoomed in on objects that are at least 0.95m from you, takes getting use to.
Obviously without anti-shake and with a small f stop range it does suffer from problems of shake in low light unless you use a high speed virtual iso rating.
Well worth its low cost.
Be aware that this product is shipped from New York and the way they ship it, import duty wise, strikes me as slightly odd. You don't pay any extra to the quoted price but I wonder if that is all as it should be?

I cannot personally review this lense as it was a gift for my daughter but she tells me that it is "fabulous".
By Richie Cunningham (all around it depends on the weather)
Like most people looking at this lens I had a choice between the canon 75-300 and this sigma lens. I the macro feature was selling point. It's not a great a macro but having it is always a bonus. At first I was apprehensive about using the lens during the low light since the focal factor is small and I was worried about the weight. But it' is a telephoto lens and It's expected to be heavy.
I used the lens to cover the london triathlon which invovled lots of running around and taking allot of action shots. The lens was great for both the photo quality and weight.After basically holding it up for an entire day it still felt fine. The only drawback was shots at low light but this involves the camera to much steadier , this can be resolved using a standard SLR tripod that supports telephoto lenses.
This is a great lenses for the more serious hobbyists like myself who don't want to invest an much more expensive telephoto lenses.

This is a very good lens for the money and does everything you would expect from it. The only complaint I have is the lens isn't as smooth as it could be when manually adjusting the zoom.
By P.J.
very happy with this lens,i am new to using an SLR camera & only had the one standard lens that came with the camera kit.i wanted to get a telefocal lens but only if i could find one at the right price. wasn't sure if it was motorised so i got in touch with Amazon on the help link. i received the answer that yes it was a few hours later (a very useful service).didn't think i could afford a brand new lens,this is the price bracket of a second hand lens, so well done Sigma. an added bonus was that it came with a lens hood, which i wasn't expecting & saved me a few more £s. this len ticks all my yes boxes.Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro For Nikon Digital & Film Cameras
By will
this really is an absolutely amazing lens. i bought this recently, and i was absolutely blown away by the quality and sheer beauty of the lens and the photos it can take. the auto focus is great, and with a good camera, it can be a truly wonderful experience to use. i highly recommend this lens to anyone, beginner or semi pro. it is absolutely fantastic. I also found the macro setting very useful- it can take some stunning photos, but you need to be careful that you have something steady to rest the camera on, or a tripod, or even a really steady hand, because close ups when your hands are shaking can result in serious blur. fantastic lens.
By Lord Robert W. Duff (Scotland)
If like me you are just starting out in the DSLR world, this is the lens for you. Its well made, does "what it says on the tin" and is excellant value for the money compared with other compatible lenses on offer. You will not be dissappointeed.

More than I could ever have hoped for at this price, the picture quality is absolutely superb and now I capture shots I could only have dreemed of before.

Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 EX DC Macro Digital Zoom Lens For Canon Mount
For about 6 months I used a Canon 17-40mm f/4 L series lens and decided I wanted a faster lens. The 17-40L is fantastic; all I needed for most outdoor shots, very wide and of course usable on full frame/35mm Canon SLRs. However, it was f/4 and I wanted an f/2.8 like my telephoto lenses to allow me to use it in churches/houses with less need for higher ISOs and flash.
My options were the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L II, which is very very expensive, but of similar build quality to my 17-40L. I couldn't justify the ridiculous price tag, especially seeing as I was using a cropped sensor camera. My other considerations were the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, which I found too plasticy, though very similar in shape/external design and the Tokina 16-50mm f/2.8 which I opted against.
The Sigma 18-50 is very good; coming with a lens case, lens hood and both caps needed, all I needed to buy extra was a UV filter. It has been given the EX finish label, which I sort of disagree with even though it is fairly heavy and well built it is not anywhere near as well built as my Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 which is also an EX lens. Anyway here's a list of pro's and con's to weigh up:
Pros
- Constant f/2.8 aperture: This is very useful indoors and to an extent for shallow DOF work
- Close focusing distance allowing for 1:3 macro focusing (useful for flower photographs and close up portraits)
- Smooth zoom and focusing rings
- Fast auto-focus
- Fairly decent build quality, certainly better than the Canon kit lenses and the Tamron 17-50mm lens.
- Non-rotating front element (good for filters)
- Zoom lock: good to stop the lens from creeping in zoom
- Accurate auto-focus, good keeper rate
- Very nice lens cap - the new Sigma lens caps are easy to remove with the hood on
Cons
- Lens extends while zooming becoming largest at 50mm
- Noisy autofocus compared to HSM (or USM)
- Not upto most Sigma EX lenses build quality, this could be because its not a DG lens
- No focusing window, although I rarely use that on other lenses to be honest.
Verdict:
This lens is very good. After having it for a few months I've gotten used to it and took some good photos with it. Its auto-focus is very accurate and I find that important in a lens today. I recommend it for anyone with a 1.6x crop sensor: 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 1000D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D
By D. McFarlane (Yorkshire, UK)
I've had this lens for a short while now and have taken it out on a few trips. Essentially this represents a faster version of the standard kit lens that I got with my 20D, so it's a reasonable general purpose lens for day-to-day use.
I found that it took a bit of getting used to this lens to finesse the focus and get sharpness into my photos. It can be a bit soft wide open, but normally I have no complaints.
Essentially paying this sort of price for a constant 2.8 lens with some Macro functionality you can't really complain. Construction has a solid feel to it and, as usual, Sigma supply you with a hood and, indeed a lens carry case as part of the deal.
By R. C. Cooper (Liverpool UK)
I bought this lens from the auction site about 6 months ago.
The one thing this lens made me realise was how poor the kit lens that came with my Canon EOS 300D actually was. And I had never had any complaints about that lens whilst using it.
The results from this lens are razor sharp and the colours are superior. The difference in results from upgrading to this lens where what I was expecting from upgrading to a new camera.
Beware though, it is very heavy and seems prone to ugly green lens flare when taking shots with the sun in view (even with the hood) but other than that I can't recommend it enough. I am now saving for the Sigma 10-20mm rather than the EOS 40D because I've realised its best to invest in glassware.
By Don Pelayo (Asturias)
This is a very good value for money lens , for less than half the price of the canon equivalent this lens performs as well ( and some argue than performs even better ).
It weights nearly half a kilo but is well balanced and feels strong in the camera. The EX DC range of sigma is similar to the L IS in canon for more image sharpness.
This is a lens that ,along with a good telephoto 80-200 ,will complete most amateur photographers kit.
I take 80 % of my pictures with this lens, is great for portraits ,landscape and interior shots.
