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).

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.

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!
