I use this lens to acquire candid shots of people, for wildlife and for plants, such as flowers, that are too far away for my close-up lens. I read many reviews before purchasing the lens and I agree with the conclusions: 1) the optics are excellent, especially for the money.

fantastic build quality if a little heavy

Consistent Output; Durable; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

The Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports lens is bigger and heavier than all of its main rivals, but we can forgive that because of the compelling mix of fantastic sharpness and image quality, great build quality, and outstanding feature set and performance.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM telephoto zoom lens.

Good sharpness throughout the range; Low CA; Excellent build; Optical stabilisation; Fast focusing; Very good value for money

Variable close focusing distance

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Monster size, weight and performance. for the cost of a used canon 300 2.8 prime in excellent shape I bought this instead. much more versatile. However its also heavier than the canon. I'm using this 95% for video on a C300 mk2 FWIW. The AF for video generally works very well.

It's something of a beast in the hands, but if you can tolerate that then the 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | Sports will reward you with excellent all-round performance. The fact that Sigma has managed to deliver it at this price makes it all the more impressive.

Very effective image stabilisation, Great build quality, Sharp results, even wide open at f/2.8, Superb control over chromatic aberration

Zoom ring position might bother some, Heavy, even by 70-200mm f/2.8 standards, Some vignetting (particularly at 70mm end), Tripod foot can't be removed

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.
