User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent Product!
The shipping was Fast. Product arrived only 3 days after order. I will return to ’17th Street Camera’ for all future purchases.

Thanks.

5 Stars CANON REBEL ZOOM LENS
Just what I needed to get the facial shots of the kids on the baseball field. I love it.

5 Stars good deal!
So far this has been a excellent purchase. I have enjoyed using the lense for adding to my dragonlfy and orchid photos. If you don’t have the cash for a Canon or Nikon, this Sigma is the way to go, especially for the hobbist photographer. (But make sure you know if your shooting in manuel or automatic)

2 Stars Should not say MACRO
I bought this lens and wish now I had not. I was looking for a real macro lens and with a focal point in macro of 37.4 it does not produce the photos I want. I saw no difference in the normal photos and ones with the macro switched on. It is alright as a general lens but don’t expect the clairity and quality that you would get with higher end lenses. I’d rate this ho-hum.

2 Stars Poor performing
I sent this poor performing lens back and opted for the slightly more expensive Canon 75-300 mm USM. The autofocus speed difference is like night and day. Happy I made the switch.
