SIGMA 70-300 TUTORIAL | Get Blurry Photos at 300mm & Get Clear Photos Up To 200mm | Crop Sensor

[bigbillysbeard]

Brilliant quick and to the point review!! Explained so much in so little time!

[bcegerton]

I’ve had this lens about a year and using mainly for wildlife. I’ve not really been using it much lately, mainly due to getting some blurry images but thankfully I’ve started using Aperture Priority more lately instead of manual so I’ll give it a go with this lens.

[shotdeath]

I have this lens with the nikon d5300 and take shots of demonstrations, protest marches in central London, UK. I do not have time to mess around with changing setting after setting but, as long as the light is good 1/320 1/400 and 1/500 shutter speeds in S mode gets me some good shots. If the light is getting darker up the ISO to 400 and above. Whatever is best before noise appears in your shots. Do not forget to set Metering, Focus mode and AF-area mode to your situation as these do affect how long it takes you to focus when hand held.

I went ahead and bought one. On my K20D, which has camera based image stabilisation, it is surprisingly sharp at 300mm. I’ve got some great shots of full frame birds from 30 feet away and a few reasonable hand held moon shots. Very impressed for the price as I got mine ‘as new’ for £75 on eBay boxed. Great fun addition to my lenses. Thanks again for the tutorial.

[robertmay]

Thanks for making this video .. I thought something was wrong with my lens/camera but now I know !!!

[CeruleanFilms]

I own an earlier model of this lens. It is very astigmatic and soft past 135mm, unless you're shooting macro. Also suffers from "soap bubble" bokeh that can make the background appear very "busy" if you're not careful. As a rule, I stay in the 70-135 range if focusing far away. Not sure if the newer model in this video fixes these issues.

I just traded a Nikon (Nikkor) 70 -300 AF D lens I bought at a thrift store for $15 for a Sigma 70 -300 AF DG lens with macro.. Was that a good trade?
Also, I watched this vidoe on Macro Photography from B&H and basically the guy said that there is really no macro, it's a gimmick and basically all you're really getting is a zoom function, is that correct? Thanks a bunch.. Stop in and see you guys when I'm in the area...

[ryansnider]

Can you explain what you meant by "always remember to have a shutter speed equal or faster than the millimeter you're working with." 2:43

Does that mean, for example, if you have a 200mm lens, the shutter speed should be at least 1/200s? 300mm = 1/300s shutter, 85mm = 1/85s shutter, so on and so forth. Do I have that correct?

[AndrewMacaambac]

Wow, thanks a lot! was very informative and educational for me as a beginner.

[schneeg]

setting the camera to a higher ISO also helps say ISO 800 but a higher shutter speed also helps to

[shotdeath]

Have this lens for the D5300 and have not had the problem of blur even when using auto mode. For the price this is a very good lens though with a lens it is always best if you use a tripod.

Hi Izzy, love this tutorial. Had my Sigma 70-300m less than 24 hours so I'm still in the process of getting used to it. I've tried a couple of macro shot that hasn't come out too bad for a complete novice. But in a couple of weeks, I'm heading up the Lake District, this venue has some stunning scenery. What I would like to know is what would be the best setting for landscapes when using this lens? I have a Nikon D3300.

Thanks soo much, we usually come to Miami every summer but the pandemic has slowed us down.Video advice was great thank you .Will visit the showroom when Pan is over.

[bythewindow-soapcraftbouti]

I just got this lens. Good info! And glad I found you, I live like 45 minutes from Miami!

[SchnuffiJames]

That's why I like my Pentax k50 the camera does the image stabilization.

[charlesshaw]

Great simple tutorial. Exactly what I needed. I have just been given a Pentax K20D with a DA*16-50mm but I’m looking for a good 300mm zoom. I have an FA 80-200mm but the image quality is poor. Do you think the DG APO Sigma 70-300mm or the Pentax 55-300mm would be best? I intend to try for Moon shots and garden wildlife. Thanks

[Alexandra-pehg]

Hi! I just got this lens and I have a question. You said that you need to make the shutter speed faster when you zoom in and I understand that, but what if there are bad light conditions? The image gets darker when you have a faster shutter speed, right?

[papigemini]

just what i am looking for, since i got the same camera model and the sigma lens, hope i could get better result with your suggested camera settings, been having the issue of a blur result when not using tripod. Question Sir? is this lens work well using with an external flash? i mean to aid the background and the subject?

[TK]

Good advice, thanks for uploading this.

I've been testing a Sigma 28 to 300mm DG (no stabilisation) with my Canon 200D and was about to either sell it or throw it in the trash because every shot was slightly blurred at the top end but after watching this video I now realise I should have put camera in shutter priority - which ironically I've been doing with my ancient Helios 44-2 and 28mm lenses but I then put the camera in auto for the Sigma lens thinking because it was modern that it was going to do everything. Now I know.

[irfanjaffar]

Hi,
I am planning to order NIKON D5300 18-55MM + 70-300 MM..
And i could see from the tutorial that either one of the lens is used at a given point of time. But i was under impression that we could attach 70-300 on top of 18-55 mm to extend its scope..
So instead of getting the both the lens, i could go for D5300 only body + 70-300 lens as i wouldnt need 18-55 as thi sis of more capacity ?

Kindly help on this query..
