I bought this lens for my Rebel T1i to replace my Canon 55-250 IS. Compared to that one, this one has a longer reach: it is an EF mount so the 70-300 is more like 112-480 with the crop factor.

Compare the two lenses (http://www.dpreview.com/products/compare/side-by-side?products=canon_55-250_4-5p6_is&products=sigma_70-300_4-5p6_apo)

The macro feature is fairly nice, though not a true macro.

The build quality is pretty nice, and it doesnt feel like a cheap lens. And it comes with a pouch and hood.

The cons however: the focus motor is LOUD. Louder than any Canon micromotor I've used, and the combination of this lens and the T1i appears to have a harder time acquiring a focus in low light than the T1i + 55-250.
