Versatile, sturdy, and built with high-quality optics, the Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM offers a good value, although it's not exactly cheap.

It lacks weather sealing; and the autofocus falls a step short

The Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM ($1,259) is a less-expensive professional alternative to similar lenses from Canon, Nikon, and Sony. The stabilized 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom is the go-to lens for many an event shooter, and getting one for under $2,000 is an appealing prospect.

Excellent center sharpness through most of its range; Fixed f/2.8 aperture; Includes tripod collar; Optically stabilized

So-so images at 200mm f/2.8; Distortion at 70mm; Edge performance could be better

My second favorite lens for concert photography. I use the Sigma Art 50-100 mm lens 1.8 for very dark close venues and this lens works great if I am not able to get so close to the stage. With f2.8 it does well in the dark, changing light environment. Quick and sharp focus

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.

Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

Excellent centre sharpness at most focal lengths and apertures; Very low CA levels; Fast AF; Optical Stabiliser; Decent build quality

Lacklustre resolution performance at 70mm and f/2.8

The Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM is a bold attempt to challenge the quality and functionality of some of the very best lenses on offer today - the fast image-stabilized telezooms from Nikon and Canon.

Very sharp across the frame when stopped down; Minimal color fringing/chromatic aberration of any description; Fast; silent; accurate autofocus with manual override; Very effective image stabilization; Decent build quality; Clever design tripod mount which is quick and easy to remove with the lens...

Somewhat soft and low in contrast at F2.8 towards the edges; especially on full frame cameras; Can give somewhat harsh rendition of out-of-focus backgrounds at longer focus distances; No focus limiter switch; No weathersealing; Susceptible to flare with direct light sources in or close to the frame,...

A lens with a 70-200mm focal length range, a wide, fixed max f/2.8 aperture and optical stabilization is destined to become a critical part of most people's lens kit. With this lens model now offered by many manufacturers, "Which one is right for you?

One of the favorite lenses among news photographers, a 70-200mm f/2.8 or 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom also appeals to many serious photo enthusiasts. Although large and heavy, lenses of this type offer several benefits.
