Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Autofocus Lens
Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300 mm focal length. Its the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range. It also has a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200mm and 300mm with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2.SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens provides excellent correction of chromatic aberration.
The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.
Sigma incorporated SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. This also corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. High optical performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range.

I'm just getting started in the DSLR area, and I'm on a very tight budget. I did some research on different lenses, and wanted something that would supplement the kit lens that came with my Canon Xt. I knew I wanted a 70-300 lens, and when I found this set with the 28-70 lens also included, I felt I had found a good buy.
I've used both lens for a couple of months now, and I've been very pleased with both of them. I know they're not the same as the higher priced lens, but I'm extremely happy with them. They both have a good heavy feel to them, very solid; the auto-focusing works wonderfully, and when I put either lens on the camera, it always feels stable - no play in them whatever.
In the future, I may move up to more expensive lens, but I imagine I'll keep a set of these on hand, as well. They were such a good buy that I can use them while traveling, and won't have to worry about damaging a high-ticket lens.
