What's the worst lens you have ever used ?
#22
Oh, oh, oh wait. I forgot about another really awful lens I used - and not for a few minutes like the Canon 75-300! Looks like the memory tries to erase the unpleasant experiences unless I purposely try to revive them.

So... the Sigma 28-300/3.5-6.3 in Nikon mount on a D70. Thankfully it wasn't mine - the newspaper I worked at had this thing in its possession until they ditched all this junk and outfitted their photogs with more modern gear (in the Canon flavour, anyway). It was paired with a Sigma 18-50/3.5-5.6 DC - another unremarkable unit, but this one was a lot better behaved. Almost half-decent I'd say. (Klaus even tested it once! http://opticallimits.com/nikon--nikkor-a...rt--review )

Now don't get me wrong, this lens and the others I listed above did net me a few decent pictures. But getting them involved quite some jumping through the hoops - not helped by the fact that I was in my "early" years of doing photography, to put it mildly. Frankly - my skills sucked donkey rhino back then. When coupled with the lousy gear I had to use... the end result is/was rather predictable. Smile
