One of my favourites
Absolutely love this one. I am not a professional photographer but I am not a total novice either (my first SLR was a nikon F8001 - so well over 25 years ago). I do own a few other f/2.8 zoom lenses (sigma included - two versions of the 24-70 (with the older one being much better btw) and this is by...

This lens is great, but more importantly
This lens is great, but more importantly, I received it 3 days before the official day, and I'm really happy! Thank you!

Sigma f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports review
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.

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM Review
It's expensive, but not as expensive as similar lenses from the first-party manufacturers. If you want speed, quality and versatility, the chunky Sigma 70-200mm lens is a belter.
Pros:
- Fast constant maximum aperture
- build quality
- AF/MF switching
Cons:
- A focus limiter would be nice
- no macro ratio scale
- no image stabilisation

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS Lens
Sigma has been producing fast tele zoom lenses for hand-held photography since the late 1980s and, although the new 70-200mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS lens claims to be a second generation model, we estimate it's the sixth in a line that reaches back to the original AF 70-210mm f/2.8, which was designed...

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO
My second Sigma 70-200 F/2.8 and now with OS (Image Stabilized). Sigma made some really important and necessary improvements. I loved the previous version but there were some issues with micro contrast and slight CA. But it was such a tremendous value.
Pros:
- Image Stabilizer
- Fast Aperture
- Comparable quality to Canon and Nikon equivalents
- Quick Release Tripod Ring
- Large Zoom Ring
Cons:
- Noisy IS which takes a second or two to activate
- heavy
- not weather proofed

This is my main glass for sports, since it was my first purchase for shooting HS Sports. I have used it with the Rebel and 40D. This lens is simply great for the price and is great for almost all sports. For the beginner, intermediate or casual shooter, you can not get a better lens for the price.
Pros:
- All you could want from a 70-200 2.8 - period
- Sturdy and strong
- Just solid
- Price
Cons:
- Focus can zoom in and way out when you are in autofocus
- Just boom -out of no where
- Compared to the Canon 2.8 equivalent (which I borrowed) It is a slight bit off
- You will have to work hard to get sharper images

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM review
Sigma's first optically stabilised 70-200mm f/2.8 promises much. Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at whether it delivers.
Pros:
- Excellent centre sharpness at most focal lengths and apertures
- Very low CA levels
- Fast AF
- Optical Stabiliser
- Decent build quality
Cons:
- Lacklustre resolution performance at 70mm and f/2.8

Good quality/price
Produces great colours and the focus is pretty fast, however can be a little inaccurate or miss read the subject. at 2.8f the background blur is beautiful! I would definitely recommend this as a economical option to the Nikon version with cost double.

A great lens for the intermediate photographer
This is the first time I have used a lens of this size, weight and features. So far I am pleased with the ease of which I can test each of the auto, manual focus and stabalizer features. For my style of photography I am pleased with the image clarity and colour.
