Great First Super Telephoto Lens
on May 16, 2016
Posted by: Waddizzle
This lens is a good introduction to the world of super telephoto lenses. As such, you should expect a learning curve until you learn how get the most out of it. In fact, I highly recommend the Sigma Dock as companion purchase so that you tune the lens to your camera. The images were good prior to calibration, Images are pretty stunning afterwards.
The calibration process can be time consuming, which consists of taking test shots under 16 different scenarios. However, you are rewarded with excellent images, provided you are thorough and take your time.

Hood Incompatible
on July 31, 2015
Posted by: Waddizzle
This is a great filter, provided that you do not try to use a hood. If you look at how it is made, the filter has two parts, the lens: the lens and sort of a gripping ring with a knurled edge. The lens is free to rotate without unscrewing itself, which is a good thing.
Unfortunately, a hood cannot slide over the mounting ring with the raised edge on it. In order to use this filer with a hood you need to unscrew it from the lens, install the hood, and then reach inside of the hood and attempt to screw in the filter. Seeing how the filter itself is designed to freely rotate, and your fingers cannot possibly grip the rim of the mounting ring, it becomes difficult, but far from impossible to screw in the lens at least partway.
It's a great filter, provided you have no intention of using a hood. For the price, you cannot beat it. I just think making a filter with an outer diameter too large for a hood is a major oversight by the designers. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 Stars for performance value.
