Customer Reviews

Problems with seller
I received the wrong lens.

I needed to use the Amazon A-Z guarantee to get a refund from 47th street photo. FYI, 47th St. delivers fast but they do not honor their return policy, so if you order from them, I hope you get what you expect!

Sigma 70-150mm lens
The lens was shipped in good order within the specefied time, however it wasn't shipped with a lens cap or case as the Sigma factory does. I am satisfied with the workings of the lens considering the low price. I like the fact that it is compact and light.

Good starter lens
Decided to buy this lens after purchasing a [body only] Canon Rebel XTi. Comparing this with the Canon kit lens will reveal insignificant differences. Both decent lenses for basic still photos, but it really shoots as a 45mm-112mm lens because of the XTi's 1.6x field of view crop factor. Next step is an upgrade to a wider view Sigma 18-200mm lens [[ASIN: B000NOSCGM]]. I've seen photos with this lens that are stunning. Canon lenses are excellent, IMO, but they tend to be overpriced for the minimum quality trade-off with third party lenses like Sigma or Tamron.
