This is a great lens. It is fast and very quiet and it produces excellent image results.

Great lens!

Well priced,fast, good build quality, nice images.

Fast,quite,affordable, well built.

I purchased this lens to shoot wildlife and as previous reviews stated the focus at longer lengths is a just little slow, but the price is lighter on the wallet.  The overall weight is heavy, but expected.  I like what I get throughout the entire range and would purchase another Sigma - may the 18 -200mm?

A Solid Lens

I use this lens for portraits and it has never let me down, fast focus, very sharp...  Buy it,hands down one of my best lens...

Awesome Glass

The lens I recieved would be more out of focuse the more you zoomed. Tried many different f-stops focal lenghts. The lens clearly had a problem mainting good focus the more you zoomed. Even when refocusing after zooming.

Focus problems

I've had a need for a 2.8 lens for a long time, but I was determined to find a "deal" on this lens.  Unfortunately, this lens costs [$] no matter where you get it. I understand now why this lens isn't discounted.  It's fast, quiet, smooth, the clarity of the images is outstanding and it's half the price of a Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. 70-200mm 2.8.  I highly recommend this lens.

Exceeds expectations

I bought this lens to use for pictures of my daughter's basketball games. It works great for low-light indoor sports. The two biggest drawbacks are weight - you almost have to use a tripod or monopod - and the speed of the auto-focus at long focal lengths - not as quick as I would like when taking basketball game shots - overall, a very useful lens

This is a great lens

Ordered early long wait So worth it.

week after i got it, i used to one of the school sports activity and the outcome is perfect. love it.
