Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 34 users at B&H Photo Video

"It's auto focus system is quick, quiet and accurate and the optics are superior to my expectations in a lens that is so low priced compared to the Nikon lenses. I'm very pleased with this purchase!"

"The optical stabilizer features are incredible! I can take pictures by hand as if I were using a tripod."

"I was disappointed with this Sigma 120-400MM Lens, it is made real cheap and its given result are also too cheap, one major problem is the focus real soft un any sort of conditions, but again this is the result you will get with all of the Sigma lenses."
