Pros
  • Good value for the money
  • Sharp images
  • Low distortion
  • Fairly nice bokeh
Cons
  • Poor lens stabilization
  • Inconsistent autofocus system
  • Vignetting and pincushion distortion

The lens offers good image quality, with very minimal distortion, good sharpness, and pleasing bokeh. However, it falls short in terms of the consistency of its performance on an aps-c camera, and it suffers from vignetting and pincushion distortion.

The Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG HSM 'C' lens offers good value for the money, with its sharp images, low distortion, and fairly nice bokeh. The build of the lens is comparatively small and light, making it a convenient option to carry around. However, the lens stabilization is found to be inefficient, providing only minimal assistance. The autofocus system works inconsistently, being faster at wider angles and slower at the end, with a tendency to hunt. The lens offers good image quality, with very minimal distortion, good sharpness, and pleasing bokeh. However, it falls short in terms of the consistency of its performance on an aps-c camera, and it suffers from vignetting and pincushion distortion. The Sigma lens is recommended for those looking for good results in wildlife photography on a budget, but those willing to spend more will find better electronics and a slightly brighter aperture in the competition.
