Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO RF HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon AF D Digital Cameras.:

Great lens for low light purposes. Very low depth of field, but this is to be expected with a 2.8 lens- just shoot at f/4 or smallerNot the best lens for macro, but buy some extension or close up filters and you are good to go. Extremely fast focus. Great for sports.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO RF HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon AF D Digital Cameras.:

Nice light weight lens. Fast focus. At f2.8 it is not sharp and has almost no depth of field. At the optimal f5.6 it works fine.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO RF HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon AF D Digital Cameras.:

This is a fantastic lens and a great range for the 1.5 crop. Sharp even wide open. Given the choice between speed & vibration reduction I'll choose speed every time. If the subject moves- VR isn't going to help. A well built lens I expect to be using as long as my Nikkor 17-55.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO RF HSM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon AF D Digital Cameras.:

A solid, well-built performer. Recently used it covering a folk festival in an historic theater. Brought out solid details at sufficient shutter speeds to minimize blur, thanks to f2.8. IS or VR is useful, but if there is no lens speed to let you use a high enough shutter speed and ISO to minimize subject movement, you just get images that have clear backgrounds, but blurred subject movement.
