Rugged is better than light and cheap!
Lens is a little heavy, but better that cheap, light weight plastic. Lens is used mostly for shooting indoor concerts & sporting events and seems to fast focus very well.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

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.

Awesome lens, extra 3 or 4 f stops really makes massive difference
After reading what feels like dozens of reviews - all complimentary, I decided to take the plunge and get one of these - I do a lot of indoor fast action and kids photos, needed something fast and decent zoom. Unbelievably sharp photos, better than my prime lens...
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Build quality

nice , but not worth the price
I purchased this lens after a recomentdation. After using it for a day to get familiar with it, I found that it was just too slow for an f2.8 for the money. The focus seemed to be just a little bit off when wide open at 200mm.
Pros:
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Even though there's a slight drop in sharpness at 200mm, the Sigma delivers excellent overall image quality, making it exceptional value at the price.
Pros:
- Value for money
- Overall performance
- Dual-mode image stabilizer
Cons:
- Slight loss of sharpness at full zoom
- f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it big and heavy
