Best lens I ever owned
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera

I came from owning the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 and looking for something better since I do weddings and other events. The Tamron was unusable at f2.8 plus extreme corner unsharpness and lots of chromatic aberration. I was a little bit anxious if the Sigma OS might not be much better. Wrong! This lens is incredibly sharp. Even at f2.8. Even at 200mm. Impressive! - How sharp is it? - At f2.8 it is already very sharp, at any focal length. Viewing the resulting photos in the usual web resolution (up to 900px) you can not see any unsharpness at all. On a 100% view it's getting a little bit softer, but the sharpness is still on par with any (medium-tele to tele, can't compare wide-angles) Nikon glass I have ever shot with wide-open (and that includes e.g. the 50mm f1.4G and 105mm f2.0). Maybe I have the best copy ever produced by Sigma - but what I'm saying is that none of the six prime lenses I ever owned was sharper wide-open. If you stop it down a little bit to f4.0 it gets incredible sharp to a point that results are just limited by my camera sensor's resolution (using it on D300 and now on D700). Corner sharpness: Towards the corners it's getting a little bit softer (affecting roughly the outer 25-30% of the image) but compared to my Sigma & Tamron 17-50mm (which is not a fair comparison though) it is quite acceptable. The corner unsharpness gets more significant the more you zoom in. And on a full frame sensor you will have more corner unsharpness than on a cropped sensor. For most uses of this lens the corner sharpness it not extremely significant. I didn't even notice the unsharpness until using this lens (on D700) for some group pictures at a wedding lately. I guess a prime (if handy) would be my better choice next time but the photos still came out great and the slight unsharpness on the few group pics where people where in the outer lens area are only visible on 1:1 or maybe 1:2 view. - What about the focus? - Quiet. Reasonably fast. Accurate and locks without hunting. Having owned more than a dozen AF lenses in my life, I could not name you one that had a significantly better focus than the Sigma. - Is the optical stabilizer (OS) worth the higher price tag? - A b s o l u t e l y . And when you had the Sigma 70-200 without OS in mind: Sigma redesigned and improved the whole thing. (Google for "dpreview sigma 70-200 OS") It's not just about the OS. But even if, the OS alone is worth every cent. When you press the shutter halfway the picture starts to "glue". I can take pictures with this lens at 200mm down to 1/50 second without blur, could even do some with 1/30 at 200mm (still need a calm hand for that though). For pictures at around 1/200 it significantly helps too to get a much higher keeper rate. - What are the OS settings? - You can switch to: OFF - you should do that for tripod use, otherwise the OS will produce blur 1 - for panning pictures like moving car and cam is following the car 2 - for all other OS use (much more efficient than 1) - Using it for portraits rather than a prime now - I also have the Sigma 85mm f1.4 which makes fantastic pictures but I started to leaving it home and using the 70-200 now for outdoor portrait work like engagement photos. The classic arguments for primes are that they are sharper and faster (wider aperture). I don't see the 85mm at f2.5 being visibly sharper than the 70-200 at f4 (about the very corner sharpness I don't care too much for portrait work either). And for the bokeh, I get more of that at f4 @ 150mm than at f2.5 @ 85mm (I wouldn't use any long lens totally wide open in bright, sunny environment). And about the my-feet-are-my-zoom strategy I just gotta say: the more you zoom in, the more the background gets compressed and the closer it gets. So with a long tele-zoom lens you can adjust your focal length to include more or less of the background and getting background objects closer to your subject (e.g. people standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge). And that's an important thing to do for your picture composition. You cannot do that with your feet and a prime. So I would say this lens is not only a great choice for doing event and wedding photography, but also for portrait work. It is not cheap but it might be the last lens you ever needed (if you are all-set on wide-angles that is). - Conclusion - I might end up some day with the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 and keeping the Sigma as a backup (I don't think I will ever sell this beauty!), but no hurry for that: The Sigma is such an amazing lens that I don't feel the urge to step up at the moment. I can just highly recommend it to anyone. It is truly the best lens I ever owned. UPDATE 6/25/2012: Still the best lens I ever owned. Done more than a dozen paid shoots with it including a couple of weddings. The keeper rate of this lens is amazing. I'd say less than 5% of shots taken with it needed to be deleted because of unsharpness etc (the OS is doing such an incredible job). And that includes low light wedding receptions. The lens is exclusively on my D700 and this combination rocks. Wide enough on the 70mm end e.g. for a bride walking down the aisle. If the locations supports it I'm doing all wedding formals (group/family shots) with it too, because the corner unsharpness is very low and better than most other lenses that I carry around with me. For some casual engagement/portrait sessions I took out the Sigma 85 f1.4 instead and loved the creaminess of the bokeh which beats the Sigma 70-200 on an artistic level, while I would still kind of prefer the 70-200 for its zoom-capability (and it also has a nice bokeh, but in a bokeh-contest the 70-200 will lose after a hard decision). I'm protecting it with an Hoya HMC 77mm UV filter, btw - and you should do the same. Don't go with a cheaper filter as it will produce likely ghost reflections, the Hoya never did that to me and the ~$40 investment is a wise choice to protect your multi-coated front element. Anyhow, I hope that your copy of this lens will be as great as mine, maybe I was just lucky. I bought it used on Amazon. UPDATE 12/18/2013: Slightly unrelated, but maybe still interesting for potential buyers: After switching my entire gear from Nikon to Canon, I bought the exact same lens for the Canon mount. Same great results. Love this lens. I would say it is 90% of the quality the Canon 70-200 IS II. Several 2nd shooters working for me at weddings brought their $2k Canon lens and the results weren't better than mine with this Sigma. Conclusion: I will stay with the Sigma 70-200 for a longer time and rather update other lenses first (if I ever need to buy the more expensive 70-200). ... show more

I must admit I was caught on Sigma after being satisfied by their 50-200mm which had tried out in June. That lens had good color rendition, Image sharpness & auto focus speed. I was contemplating waiting for Tamron 70-200 f/2.8mm VC lens which was announced at Photokina, however could not resist the temptation of Sigma after experiencing the 50-200mm. Also what better time to capture colors other than season of Fall!!! This Sigma [ASIN:B003HC8VA4 Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 APO EX DG HSM OS FLD Large Aperture Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera]] has not disappointed until now. I am learning the lens & getting used to it. Initial snaps were overexposed & I had to constantly remind myself that this is a fast lens. The lens is solid & seems to be built like a tank. On receipt I inspected it for dust, scratches etc. since in some reviews people had pointed that they had received defective pieces out of box. My lens piece was clean & looked Brand New - The way it is supposed to look. I passed light from flashlight to confirm the lens is clean inside !!! The resistance of the zoom ring is perfect not to tight not too loose just about right... Apart from that I checked front focus / back focus issues using a wooden ruler & to my eye could not spot any issues either. My copy of lens also is well centered. Confirmed this by taking few snaps of brick wall & examining the left & right sides of the image for difference in sharpness. Today I took the lens to neighborhood park to capture the magnificent colors of fall & am extremely pleased with the images captured. The color rendition of this lens is awesome. Bokeh is super, it gives smooth creamy bokeh & isolates the subject from background in pleasing manner, the way I like it!!! Auto focus is silent. I can barely hear it. However today I was not able to test AF speed which I hope to do so over the weekend, in a morning kids soccer game where I hope to test for CA & AF speed & also test AF speed in low light during evening soccer game. As of now I am happy with the lens!!! PS - I use Hoya HMC UV Digital Multi-Coated Slim Frame Glass Filter Update - 10/06 - I had chance to photograph my sons soccer games both in morning & evening. During both the games, Auto focus was found to be sharp, accurate, silent & the lens did not hunt. Also note that the evening games was under floodlights & I did not notice flare in the any of the 200 odd snaps taken. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the performance of this lens & am now revising the rating to 5 stars & also plan to test out the Sigma 17-50 mm f/2.8. ... show more

Sigma does it again
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I have had the opportunity to use the Sigma 70-200MM F2.8 APO EX DG HSM OS lens for awhile and feel good enough about it to do a review. The main reason I bought the new OS version was the stabilizer, in which I'm happy to say works great. I took a group of photos at 1/15 of a second shutter speed and was very pleased with the number of keepers. All I hear is a click of the stabilizer and thats it. On my Nikon 70-200mm VR1 I would hear a chick and a sound like running water. Some say the Sigma stabilizer makes all kinds of sounds, but I find that is not the case. Its quiet, in fact I was wondering if it was working before I made my tests. Now lets move on to what is on most peoples mind when they buy a new lens. OPTICS! How does it stand up to the challenge to get a great photo. I did a side by side comparison with the Tamron 70-200mm f2.8, Sigma 70-200mm II, and the new Sigma 70-200mm OS version. I wish I still had my Nikon 70-200mm VR I, but sold it, for I was not happy with picture quality at 200mm. My test showed these results. I will rank them as follows. 1 the sharpest, down to 3. I think you know what I mean. The test was done with the Nikon D300. At 70mm, center sharpness 1 Sigma OS version, 2 Sigma series II, 3 Tamron. Edge sharpness, 1 Sigma OS, 2 Tamron, 3 Sigma II . At 130mm, Center, 1 Sigma OS, 2 Tamron, 3 Sigma II. Edge 1 Sigma OS, 2 Tamron, 3 Sigma II. At 200mm, Center, 1 Sigma OS, 2 Sigma II, 3 Tamron. Edge 1 Sigma OS, 2 Sigma II, 3 Tamron. It should be noted the the difference between the Tamron and the Sigma II was not that much, but the difference between the Sigma OS and the other two lenses was very visible. What you lose is, not as close focus distance (I use a Macro for this type of work) and a little less magnification at the 200mm end of the zoom. What do you gain? Stabilization, better optics, and the new OS version works better when used with the Sigma 1.4x and 2x EX DG teleconverters than the older Series II lens, the results is sharper and has more contrast. My conclusion is all three lenses are very good. If you can't afford the New OS version, the two non stabilized versions will do you well. If you can justify an extra $400 or more I would definitely go for the Sigma OS version. ... show more

Best bokeh for your buck
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I bought this because when you can't afford Nikon glass, you choose Sigma. One of three (arguably) most recommended wedding lenses, the others being a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 prime and a 24-70 f/2.8, my experience with this is creamy dreamy soft backgrounds with perfectly focused subjects. Please note that this is an amateur point of view, and I shoot weddings when the bride or groom asks whether I'm going to walk with my camera, because the camera takes really good pictures. I love it for details like the decorations, cake and candles, for far off shots of the ceremony without getting in the way, and for those cool shots where the bride/groom is in focus and the groom/bride beside her/him is out of focus (but very recognizable) What I don't like is the weight (but I can suck that up) and that you can't work the group shots without changing the lens (until I get a second camera) unless you're standing way back, which isn't always possible. I also love it for portraits, especially of toddlers, and will be trying it next at a field hockey game, as I understand it to be aces at sports. I bought the Sigma APO Teleconverter 2x EX DG for Nikon Mount Lenses which works fine with this lens, and plan to go stalking hummingbirds as soon as they discover my Aspects 153 Mini Hummzinger Hummingbird Feeder. If you need to shoot in low light, and prefer ambience instead of the brightness of flash, this fast lens and some ISO pumping can really do the job.

Good alternate to system equivalent for an amateur photographer
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I debated heavily between getting the Nikon system 70-200 f2.8 or the Sigma. I'm glad I went with the Sigma for my purposes. I am an amateur and while the optics don't meet the technical specifications of the Nikon, I can buy two other lenses for the price difference. I ended up purchasing the Sigma APO 2X converter with this lens to give me a 400mm f5.6 I've owned other f2.8 zooms and other f2.8 200mm primes but this is the first fast tele zoom I've owned. If you haven't handled one of these on a camera before be warned as others have said it is quite heavy. It is surprisingly heavy. I have only had it out on one extended hike of about 4 miles and had it on a sturdy monopod. I don't think I'd be able to reliably handhold it for extended shooting without getting the shakes. Speaking of shakes the optical stabilization is impressive. I've used optical stabilization built into other shorter focal length lenses and built into the body of other cameras with teles but Sigma has the most effective OS I've used. It is quite apparent when zoomed to the maximum. Others have noted the noise of the OS turning on and off and I do find it annoying. It's quite a loud click when it engages. About as loud as the shutter. It engages and disengages as you focus a shot. I think it could be a bit distracting for a wedding photographer during quiet moments of a ceremony. That said, for long tele shots, especially with the 2X extender I don't think that the OS would be sufficient to forgo the use of a tripod or monopod. It certainly helps for shorter focal length shots. Here is a 100% crop using the Sigma together with the Sigma APO tele-extender. (find on flickr under user ThingsAbove) Build quality is very good but I do wish the barrel material and especially the hood were made of metal rather than plastic. Given the weight it will certainly get banged against stuff and I'm concerned that the hood will quickly be cracked. The mount is metal but it does move slightly (rotational movement) on the camera which is a bit annoying. When combined with the converter it twists on the mount an alarming amount. I feel there is too much play in the positioning pin holes (they are oval rather than round). I assume it allows for varied tolerances of different cameras and maybe I only notice it because the lens is so heavy but it bothers me. Focus accuracy seems quite good at close focus distances which is mostly what I've used it for up to this point. I feel that if it's accurate in the razor thin DOF required in close focusing it will be accurate at longer distances. Focus speed is also quite good. I've used it for a little sports and AF was fast and CAF tracked well. Color response is wonderful. This lens has the best color and contrast of any tele zoom I have ever used. Flare and back scatter seems to be completely controlled. Indoor, low light AF is also surprisingly good. It obviously isn't in poor light but there haven't been any situations where it didn't acquire a lock. All in all I'm pleased. The only real drawback to this lens is that it isn't weather sealed. I've needed to use my equipment in foul weather in the past when I was being paid to shoot and ruined a non-sealed lens that way so I know not to use this in such an environment. I'd say if you do paid shooting you don't always get to pick when and where you use your equipment. Go for a weather sealed lens if you plan to use it for more than amateur use. If you are a serious amateur and want an excellent quality fast tele zoom for $1,000 less than the system equivalent this is a great choice. Plan to invest in a good, sturdy monopod or heavy tripod if you don't already own them to get the most from this lens at it's longer focal lengths. ... show more

happy with the purchase!
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I was looking for a zoom lens to snap photos of my son and his youth football team during games. After researching the web on what is the preferred lens for shooting sports activities at an affordable price, the 70-200 was a popular pick. I narrowed my choices to the Sigma 70-200 OS and Nikon 70-200 VRII. Obviously both are similar in size, weight, and features. But the Nikon was $1000 more. I've read reviews and watched countless youtube video's of these lenses, and the Nikon always came up on top over 2nd place Sigma and 3rd Tamron... but for $1000 more, the Nikon should win right?! Please note I am not a paid photographer and strictly take photos as a hobby and to share with my family and friends. I try to take the best shots to my ability. Making sure i'm in the right position, experimenting with different shutter speeds, aperture, ISO, white balance on my reliable Nikon D90. So far the pics have turned out great! This lens is fast, and puts clean and crisp photos. It has exceptional low light performance and the bokeh is stunning. The overall build and quality of the lens is very good and sturdy. I've been able to capture some photos of players that ended up displayed in their family rooms! I am 100% happy with this purchase! ... show more

Its worth the price
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I m a part time photographer, I own Nikon 70-200 2.8vrII and I lose it by some reason. Obviously Nikon 70-200 2.8vrII (lets call it vrII) its more durable, solid and a bit sharper and faster. On $$ wise, of course Sigma is more competitive than Nikon (I would say almost everyone would agree with it). Quality of Sigma 70-200 OS actually is pretty good, well build, fast enough to do sport, event and wedding photography. I think most of the buyer will say: what about Nikon f/4 version. These are about same price but f/4 is smaller and lighter with one to two feets shorter focus distance (this is pretty important) and 5 stops vrIII option, but i have f/2.8 option and 4 stops OS function (actually the OS works pretty good and fast). Even Sigma f/2.8 is more softer than vrII and f/4 (come on!! everyone know f/4 is sharper than f/2.8 and that's why i do f/3.2 at most of the time). Conclusion: Its worth for the price (since the price dropped) and it is not a bad choice on 70-200 2.8 lens. (of course if you got enough $$ budget, go for vrii) At the end, Guys, please do not complaint about the weight, this is a 70-200 2.8 OS lens, this is a common sense!! ... show more

3 to 3.5 stars - Happy with saving money – But disappointed in Sigma/Nikon shoot-out
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
I bought this Sigma fast telephoto zoom lens for my Nikon D800 because DXOMark recommends it (for Nikon D4), its DXOMark score is just about the same as the Nikon 70-200mm-F/2.8 counterpart and I’m just about to go into nature/landscape photography (but not serious yet, so I figure I should save money first with this Sigma lens at less than 40% of the Nikon’s cost). Many reviews have been published on the construction and operations of this Sigma lens (so far I’ve been satisfied with the results). So my contribution is a shoot-out using my Nikon D800 (Aperture priority to set comparable F stops) between this lens and our collection of Nikon FX lenses in this zoom range (obviously not having the Nikon 70-200mm-F/2.8), which are Nikon 24-70mm-F/2.8, 85mm-F/1.8, 105mm-F/2.8 and a couple DX telephoto zoom lenses, which are Nikon 18-200mm VRII and 50-200mm VR. So while I’ve been satisfied with the pictures taken with this fast Sigma telephoto zoom lens by themselves and I trust DXOMark test scores comparing Sigma to Nikon at this zoom range, my shoot-out gave disappointing results for the Sigma zoom, leaving me wonder whether I should have gotten the Nikon instead: 1) At 70mm, the Nikon 24-70mm-F/2.8, at its longest focal length, beats the Sigma zoom lens in sharpness *everywhere* from center to edges. However color definition and Bokeh are almost the same, with the Nikon only winning with contrasting and saturated color scenes (flowers, especially orchids, for example) 2) At 85mm and 105mm, the prime Nikons (85mm-F/1.8 and 105mm-F/2.8) leave this Sigma zoom lens in the dust; the Sigma zoom lens did not come close in any category (sharpness, color definition, contrast, Bokeh at F/2.8). These may not be fair comparisons because I would doubt that even the Nikon 70-200mm-F/2.8 can beat its own prime brothers. 3) For comparing with the Nikon DX telephoto zooms, I set my D800 to DX-crop size for the Sigma telephoto zoom for identical resolutions. The results were even more surprising: 4) At 70mm, 135mm and 200mm focal lengths, the Nikon 18-200mm VRII is pretty comparable to the Sigma telephoto zoom in sharpness from center to edge. However, the Sigma’s color definition, contrast and Bokeh are more pleasant to look at. 5) At 70mm, the Nikon 50-200mm VR is almost comparable to this Sigma telephoto zoom in sharpness, only losing out towards the higher focal lengths. The Sigma beats this Nikon zoom in color definition, contrast and Bokeh at literally all focal lengths. My summary is that my decision to opt for this Sigma fast telephoto zoom lens for my full-frame D800 is likely a good decision now for telephoto use until I get serious about nature/landscape photography, at which time I really should try the Nikon 70-200mm-F/2.8 telephoto zoom lens as a replacement for this Sigma. ... show more
