Sigma lenses - opinions?

Posted By Robert Watters

I've heard and seen a lot of good shots coming from the Bigma (Sigma 50-500 smile ). It covers a lot of range and is pretty sharp at 500mm all for under 1K. I've heard mixed reviews on the 80-400 OS but most of them being for the better.
Nothing on the 100-300.

Here is another review site that has MTF charts on most of what they have tested.

The extra focal length would help but this is pretty nice considering the crop.
