I think this is a lens that any one that is just starting with fotography should have, it has great depth of field pitcture quality and for the price is a well built product
A great product easy to use when you need those longer range shots

excellent buy, easy to use, greatly expanded use of my Nikon 3200
I don't know if it performs as well as a Nikon lens would, but it is a great buy just price wise.
This lens is tremendous..its clarity is astounding..the pictures reveal things that cannot be seen with the naked eye..the macro feature is worth the price alone..you will not be disappointed with this lens ..a "GREAT BUY" !
For the price it is a good buy, its not a purchase I regret and its certainly a lens I'd recommend.
A solid mechanism for even professionals and for the money a great buy.

For the price, it's great, takes good quality pictures and zooms nicely.
I have been able to zoom in to take some great pictures with this lens.
Take very good pictures and zoom it's great now I can use my camera for moreI use for all the pictures I take and I have more
Hi there, the lens does not work at certain times, it brings in lots of light and dims the picture, I am not sure if the lens work well, I would like to return the item if possible
With this lens I managed to get very good pictures with the macro

I have greatly enjoyed this new lens as it works flawlessly with my Nikon D5100.
Has good color rendition, but has no shake compensation so hand holding is a bit of a risk as I believe it is less sharp than OEM camera lens as expected, tripod is recommended...still probably a value at the price paid.
I would definitely recommend buying this lens as it's such a great value.
As with many reviews before me, I agree you get what you pay for but this lens is a great value for the money
At around $140, this lens is a remarkable value and worthy of a 5-star Amazon rating, though I'd give it 4.5 stars if that option were available.

Not until I was inside a butterfly emporium did I realize what a great macro this lens possessed.
What I did like about this lens was its capability for good Macro
I was able to take few really good macros with this lens and it justified the purchase
I know I like the macro and enjoy the added distance for taking photos, I am still getting use to the lens though so will probably update this again later.

Good quality lense arrived on time and got a great deal
The Nikon lenses are way more expensive and probably not worth it for anyone not sending their pics to Natl
Depth of fiels is good but not as good as a prime lense
It doens't focus very quickly - and at times has trouble finding what you want - as many of these new, less expensive lenses do
I used to sell these lens in the camera shop I worked at when I was 18 yrs old (yep I am getting on a bit) and then they were expensive lenses with good optics and I could never afford them, Sigma was the best I could

It's just a bit soft on the far end, but can be adjusted if you shoot in RAW mode.
The switch between tele (normal) mode is a bit difficult to do at times, and it sometimes is hard to tell which mode it is in until you try to focus on something and find out you can't and realize you're not in the mode you think you are
Those are really the only things this lens is missing, a bit more range and image stability
The motor is a bit loud but, to have one in a lens of this price is great.
The lens is a bit soft at the larger apertures (I haven't tried smaller ones yet), particularly at the 300mm range

Fits perfectly into my Nikon camera bagCons:o Trouble getting to auto focus in poor lighto No vibration reduction (VR), so any moderate shake could lead to slightly blurred pictureso
The only disadvantage to this lens over the Nikkor lens would be the VR (vibration reduction).
The next step up is $400+ which gets you vibration control ("VR" in Nikon speak), but from what I have read, is basically the same optically (the same seems to be true for Nikon's own 70-300mm lens as well)
The only thing I could wish for would be a VR (vibration reduction or 'image stabilization') setting (at my age, I experience 'essential tremor,' which makes holding the camera steady a challenge).
The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did, for the size of the lens is the VR Vibration Reduction

From the Manufacturer
Designed for optimum handling ease and portability (it weighs only 458g <16.2oz.> ), it’s ideal for handheld shooting with full-frame and APS-C format SLRs
Its unsurpassed close-focusing ability (down to 0.95m (3.1 feet ) or 1:2 in macro mode) makes it perfect for nature and portrait photography
Zoom in to 300mm from a distance AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens Features Low Dispersion (LD) Glass for Greater Lens Sharpness Low dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration; the tendency of light of different colors to come to different points of focus at the image plane
Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely low dispersion index, has less of a tendency to separate (defract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors
This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the center of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.)"
