  • Absolutely fantastic. Sigma finally gets it right. (make sure you order the USB dock!)
Style: Canon
I have owned every generation of this lens, and this is the only one that has convinced me to sell my Canon 300mm 2.8 and 400mm 2.8 and stick solely with this outstanding piece of glass. Like all of Sigma's new line of glass, the build quality on this lens is rock solid. The hood feels like it will stand up to anything. The only physical issue with the lens is the tripod foot, which feels like it is seated too far back to be properly balanced; a minor issue though. Make sure you purchase the additional USB dock, so you can keep your lens' firmware up to date, but primarily so you can enable the faster autofocus mode that is a necessity for sports shooting. I have covered NFL, NCAA, and NBA games with this lens and it kicks ass at all 3. It is as sharp as my old Canon telephotos at 2.8, and autofocus is just as fast. While it has some weight too it, I haven't had any issues handholding it for basketball games or weddings. I've actually owned two different copies of this lens, and both were spot on with their focus right out of the box. Sigma has entered a new age with their new line of Art, Sports, and Contemporary lenses, and we are all lucky to get a chance to use them. ... show more

  • Listed weights are not accurate; size is a HUGE issue for handholding
Style: Canon
The weights listed on the Amazon pages are not accurate. On a quick read, you'll see that this lens is listed at 6.5 pounds, which is about the same as what's listed for the the Sigma 150-600 (Contemporary) that I just bought and loved--6 pounds. But neither weight is true; on my scale, this lens comes out to 8 pounds, 3 ounces while the 150-600 is just over half that. The confusion is in the Technical Details portion of the page. The 150-600 (C) shows Item Display Weight as 6 pounds; right below that is Item Weight,1930 grams. Over on the 120-300 page, the two entries are reversed: Item Display Weight is 3,390 grams and Item Weight is 6.5 pounds. The Sport version of the 150-600 shows Item Display Weight as 2,900 grams and Item Weight as 6.31 pounds. Are you confused yet? It appears to me the metric weights are correct but the pounds are not; for us metrically-challenged Americans, it's easy to just read the pounds and get it wrong. You might want to check the Sigma website. I did some quickie weighing on a little postal scale and can't swear to my own accuracy; I'm just saying the Amazon page is misleading. This is one of those lenses you really want to try in person before you mail-order it. As for the lens itself, I only tested it a little. It's very well-built, of course, and seems sharp and precise. I just don't see how anyone could reasonably hand-hold it for any length of time. I'd planned on using it for live-music performances, thinking it only weighed a little more than other lenses I've used (70-200, 100-400, 150-600). But not only is the weight a problem, the diameter and balance are issues. I'm sure this would be a great lens on a monopod or tripod, but hand-held in a crowded venue, it's just not worth the extra reach. ... show more

  • great but heavy lens. great for video.
Style: Canon
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. One can use either one shot or continuos with very good results. in manual focus though, its not a direct mechanical connection. That means there is some lag with fast focus adjustments and you can overshoot. much more of a big deal for video purposes. Also the position of focus in rearmost and the zoom control front most. completely backwards from every lens out there and a source of constant confusion when shooting in fast moving situations - you will zoom when you want to focus. perhaps the best suggestion is to add a focus gear band to the focus ring for better id by touch. the zoom ring has some resistance which is good. you can manually zoom if you need to BUT this lens is not even close to parafocal. thats a huge minus. if you are using AF, generally speaking AF will cover you on a zoom during a shot. however if you are trying to manually focus you'll find the shot will go soft wide open. stopped down it may not be quite as bad, but it will still generally be not acceptable. this is the only real short coming of this lens. Lens Support : required ! if using this for video you HAVE to put rods / support on lens for typical operation. the setup gets even bigger and heavier. I used a Tilta 15mm lens support which just fit. Note that I think there should be serious concern about flex in the lens mount, or just plain ripping the mount out of a body. This is where EF really shows how flimsy it is compared to PL.Yes you can get away with not using support, but don't expect it to work for long without something bad happening. You need a full rig. For shooting with dslr, you can get away with letting the body float and tripod mount on the foot. Lens hood : heavy ! it works, protects front of lens but just more weight. 2.8 ! shooting wide open or close to it, the look of this lens is incredible. its the reason to own it. bokeh is excellent and pleasing. combined with AF I got lots of great shots at an airshow of moving people and planes, some in really low light with dead on results. Focus assist in the C300 also works correctly with this lens The foot. its also big, heavy, beefy. The weird part is that it doesn't use a conventional clamping set up. instead is uses several stubby pins in the lens to stay attached. that means that at one point in the rotation, the mount pull backwards and off. while this didn't pose a problem for my use, I could see if you shot stills that it could come loose and off leading to unhappiness and potentially broken things. so consider and use with care. ... show more

  • Purchase at your own risk
Style: Canon
The Sigma lens is a solid piece of equipment but beware purchasing it from Amazon. I purchased this lens in Jan 2020, in June of 2021 the autofocus stopped working after only 7 months of heavy use. The lens came with a four year warranty so I sent it in for repair. I was notified by Sigma that this was a grey market lens that is not suppose to be sold in the US. Amazon used a third party company, 7th Avenue, to supply the lenses and according to Sigma that company is not an official seller of Sigma products in the US. As a result my warranty is void because Amazon sold me a lens that should not be sold in the US. I have reached out to Amazon but to date all I have learned is Amazon does not even pretend to care about their customers. If you are going to spend this amount of money for a lens purchase it from a legitimate seller list B&H. ... show more

  • The Sigma 137101 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens is an Amazing compliment to our existing Canon telephoto L class lenses
Style: Canon
Before sharing my thoughts on the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Canon, please let me share a little about my photography background and existing equipment... I first got into photography in 1968 when I was with Army Aviation in Vietnam. At that time I was using a minolta 35mm camera... I first started using Canon equipment When the first Rebel came out and then upgraded to the 20D when it first came out and now my wife and I use Canon's 1DX, 5D-III, 7D-II and 7D. We have several of Canon's L series long lenses including the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II USM, the 100-400 f/4.5/5.6 IS II USM, 400mm f/4 DO and the 600mm f/4L IS II USM. We have very nice full sensor and crop sensor cameras with very nice glass but we clearly had a gap in the 300mm range. Canon's 300mm f/2.8l IS II USM goes for $6,599 and only fills part of the gap. Besides needing the 300mm f/2.8 for stills and videos of wildlife we often need to be able to have zoom available but still need to be able to retain the f/2.8. Canon does have a 200-400 but it is f/4 and costs $11,799. Canon also has a 28-300 and a 70-300 at $2,549 and $1,499 respectively but they are f/3.5-5.6L and f/4-5.5.6L $3,599 respectively... So this is how we came to look at Sigma's 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM lens for Canon. If you are not familiar with Sigma's lettering system, as I was not, The DG is Sigma's designation for Full Frame Lenses although this lens also works well with APS-C sized sensors. With the Canon 7D-II 1.6 crop factor this gives us a zoom ratio of 192-480mm. The OS stands for Optical Stabilizer which you would only turn on when not using a tripod. This is a rather heavy lens and hand holding when combined with the weight of your camera makes it very difficult when filming moving targets... I know I have tried, but any good glass lens above 200mm that I am using, is always on a tripod or at least a monopod. The HSM stands for Hyper Sonic Motor. Since I am basically a Canon snob when coming to DSLR cameras or associated lenses, I was very very hesitant in trying this particular Sigma lens, even at the great price of $3,599 when compared to Canon's 300mm f/2.8 at $6,599. However Amazon has never given us any problems with returns as long as the equipment we tried was treated with care and I always treat all of my Camera equipment with great care. So that helped with my incentive to go ahead and try the Sigma lens but not until I read every review I could find... If you go through Amazon's reviews on this particular lens, the lowest review I could find was a 3 star from September 2013 and it's complaint was connection problems resulting in focus issues however I have not experienced either issue with the Lens that I purchased so I can't speak to that one... There were two 4 star reviews, one from September 2013 from a sports shooter... His main complaint dealt with initial focus issues which he was able to correct with the optional Sigma USB Dock for Canon. I could not find any of the Sigma USB Docks for Canon in stock anywhere in the US and had to order one from Japan which still has not arrived, therefore I can not speak to this yet until I receive the Dock next week. I will provide an update after I have been able test the settings after using the Dock, but so far I have not had any focus issues, on the contrary I have been very impressed with the focus that I have been able to receive from this lens so far and I am very picky about the sharpness of my photos... We have shot wildlife and landscape in East Africa, (Kenya), as well as South Africa, (Botswana), all over the US and Canada and several locations in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands. Our travel is expensive and returning with out of focus shots are not an option. The other Amazon 4 Star review was more recent, October 2014 from a Nikon shooter who was also a sports shooter. He also purchased the USB dock primarily to be able to see all of the lens' features, especially those dealing with the differences in the focus speed. However for him the lens was spot on focus out of the box. His main complaint was regarding focus speed and function. he was shooting primarily AFC spot focus and the lens did not meet his expectations... Then he switched to D9 focus and it worked very well for him. He did also mention the weight... The other 16 Amazon reviews were all 5 star and all praised the lens... Some did reference the weight but none felt the need to ding the review any stars... Again, so far, I have not experienced any focus issues and because sharpness is critical to me, I am always using a tripod with a wimberley head for my heavy glass so the weight is just not a factor to me... Amazon lists the weight at 6.5 lbs. but mine is closer to 7.5 lbs. maybe their reference does not include the collar/tripod mount, hood or caps, not really sure. B&H Photo had 15 reviews on this particular lens. One of those was a brief 1 Star review from June 2013 complaining of severe back focusing problems even after using the USB dock. They had one brief 3 Star review. He was also using it with a Canon 7D-II & 5D-III and complained it wasn't as sharp for him with either camera even after using the USB dock and updating the firmware. He was comparing to Canon's 300 f/4 and 300 f/28. I have not tried it with our 5D-III yet because I love the crop factor of our Canon 7D-II but I am certain that my wife will be trying it with both the 1DX and the 5D-III. Again, I will provide an update to the review after testing our other cameras but so far I am just not able to reproduce the focus issues that these gentlemen reported. Of the remaining 13 B&H reviews, 6 of them were 4 Star reviews... Their main complaints dealt with the weight(3), tripod collar smoothness(1), claim of 280mm vs 300mm(1), best sharpness at one stop down from wide open(1), not as fast focusing as Canon's 300mm f/2.8(2), the need to purchase the USB dock to fine tune the lens(2). So for me, again, the weight is not a factor and not worth a star ding because I feel one should be using a tripod or at least a monopod when using any f/2.8 300mm+ L lens... I have not been able to reproduce the tripod collar smoothness issue, on the contrary my tests proved the collar to be very smooth... I actually feel that being able to purchase a USB collar to fine tune the lens is a huge bonus. I want to be able to fine tune my lens using the 2 custom buttons to match my specific needs and I am not aware of being able to do anything like this with any of our Canon L lenses... I am not smart enough to know how to test whether or not I am getting the full 300mm vs. 280mm other than metadata and my metadata reports the full 300mm, so I can't really speak to that complaint... So far I have not been able to reproduce any of the reported focus issues or focus speed issues reported and I have shot several different fast moving wildlife events and long distance scenery shots with no issues to report in those areas. So to wrap it up, from my perspective and my limited experience with this lens, Sigma's 137101 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Canon is amazing, especially for the price being $3,000 less than Canon's f/2.8 300mm, plus having the flexibility of being able to shoot with the range of 120mm to 300m vs Canon's 300mm prime, or in the case of our 7D-II, 192mm - 480mm. I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone... ... show more

  • After testing at a Sigma Event :(
Style: Canon
A few things to consider; weight and cost. For where this lens is priced you could purchase a 135L,200L and 300L f4..Or you could purchase the 70-200mm ii L and a 300L f4 etc. This lens is HEAVY and you must have a monopod to support it. Maybe for some professional photographers shooting night games outside or inside a dome for events such as soccer or football. I personally can't see it. Too many other ways to invest that kind of money. I considered pulling the trigger for the earlier version of this lens when it could be purchased for 1999 refurbished from the Sigma outlet store. For Canon users If you are shooting sports or wildlife during the day its a no brainer... If you must have a zoom then the 100-400L gives you more reach AND a wider angle for roughly 1200 less with High IQ. ... show more

  • Is it a perfect lens? I don't know but I don't think ...
Style: Canon
Is it a perfect lens? I don't know but I don't think so. But if you factor in quality of imagine, the flexibility of the 120-300, and the price then I have to give it a 5 star. I have already used it on the soccer field in horrible lighting (or lack of lighting), on the softball and baseball fields at all levels. I very happy with the results right now. Are they perfect, nope. But I see there is a bit of adjustment when using a lens light this. I purchased the USB dock and already customized it to my needs. That was a BIG improvement. Does it appear to "miss" my focused spots sometimes, yep it does but to be honest I see a whole lot of personal user error right now. But I have had the same problem when using the Canon 300mm f2.8 mark I. Let me try to summarize some other points or questions: 1. Is it a beast? Yep! Weighs a ton. I do curls with it every day and I'm looking pretty buff, ok not really. Yes you will want a monopod. But lets me honest. You would want a monopod with a Canon 300mm too! Actually now that I think about it a monopod is a must for shooting sports using the 70-200! 2. I love the design! Yes it isn't a cool off white lens by Canon but I really like the look of the design. 3. Yes people are jealous when they see me walk out on the field with it. And yes my head swells a bit. Sounds a little stupid but it is true. The lens adds a bit of legitimacy to what I do. I swear people just let me walk buy at the ticket gate without even asking question. Oh, and yes they would to the same if I walked in with a Canon 300mm. 4. Not a big fan of the control rings. Yes they are stiff! Which isn't a bad thing but it isn't a good thing either. The zoom ring is the furthest away and feel backwards to me. But I have adjusted and working on different techniques to make things easier. 5. I bought this because of the 120-300mm range. I knew I wouldn't be happy with a 300mm prime. I have used one for a while and always felt limited. So far I love adjusting my focus point! I can do so much more with it. 6. Buy the USB dock. 7. Have fun with it! Understand what you are buying and run with it! Nope it isn't a prime. Get out and shot a lot with it. Ok, i'm not a writer so I'm total done with this review. ;-) ... show more

I really liked the picture quality of this camera, unfortunately I had to return it because it would front focus on the long end and back focus on the short end.. I am aware that this can probably be remedied using the USB dock but none were in stock for Canon, in fact none were in stock for a few weeks... so I couldn't use the camera because of the focusing issues. When it does get focus correctly though, the images are great. ... show more
