    Overview

    The Sigma AF 70-210 mm f/3.5-4.5 APO Macro is a versatile zoom with a useful focal range and 1:2 macro capability, praised for its value and build. However, autofocus is slow and hunts, especially on digital bodies, and sharpness is soft compared to alternatives like the Minolta 'Beercan' (rowivision). It suits film shooters or those willing to use manual focus for macro, but digital users may find it lacking.
