Das Sigma 70-300 mm DG OS bringt an beiden Sensorformaten sehr gute Leistungen bei 70 und 135 mm, lässt aber - gewöhnlich für diesen Zoomtyp - bei 300 mm nach.

... Bei offener Blende schwächelt das Zoom am linken/rechten Bildrand und in den Bildecken. Davon sind alle Brennweiten betroffen, und das gibt es auch bei teuren Zooms. Abblenden um zwei Stufen verbessert deutlich die Abbildungsleistung im gesamten Bildfeld, von der Mitte bis in die Ecken.

Ein Telezoom mit Bildstabilisator zum vernünftigen Preis von 400 Euro. Und die Qualität stimmt auch, denn im ganzen Bildfeld werden schon offen sehr gute Werte erreicht. Wenn man von der längsten Brennweite absieht, denn hier folgt der für viele Objektive dieses Brennweitenbereichs typische Einbruch.
