A+ Image and Build Quality

I prefer Sigma over Nikon lenses in most cases. The mechanical and optical quality are superb. Yes, it is a big and heavy sucker.

Sharp Lens! But heavy!

Awesome lens! Great for all types of shooting. I use it as a Portrait & Wedding lens. Super sharp, but heavy as all get out!! It's all I can do to hold it up & use it for a whole Wedding shoot, and then I am sore as crap the next day. Quick family shoots, etc not so bad though. I may have to get something lighter for weddings.

Sigma f2.8 70-200 sports lens

I am pleased with the lens. At first I thought is was malfunctioning. But after talking with sigma. It was cleared up.

NO OTHER 70-200mm Like this

Absolutely Love this! The Compression is insane, a whole lot better than most! I would say it is better than the canon brand, the focus buttons are perfect

Best 70-200 EF option

Solid performer. We had the canon 70-200 ii and it was our go-to for years. For certain stills camera bodies, the Canon lens probably performs better with AF and may have some better color rendering. However we shoot on canon cinema cameras for micro-doc shoots. We switched over to the sigma to match the look of our art lenses (even though this is technically a S-sport lens). Everything match very nicely with the 18-35 Art lens and autofocus is quick and accurate on the c200. No complaints. Pleasantly suprised.

Great Professional lens.

This is a premium lens. It is sharp and has great compression. Photo quality is really good. It is on the heavy side but we happen to appreciate this. Build quality is rugged...Overall quality purchase

Excellent Deal

Excellent lens for far less than the Canon version. My first time using it I was at an ancient stone bridge over a creek at dusk when a young woman came down to the creekside to drop a memorial into the water in memory of a lost child. I told her I'd take a photo for her but was concerned about the darkness and holding such a heavy lens steady during a slow shutter speed. I was surprised at how well the stabilization system worked. It's a little odd, you hold the shutter for about a second and suddenly you can see the subject lock in the viewfinder.

Sigma, quality with cost savings

Bought my sigma 70-200 f2.8 sport lens about a year ago. It has been an excellent lens with my canon 70D. It operates like canon lens but at a huge savings, about half the price at the time. Have been very pleased with the photos so far. One minor drawback is that it is a little heavy to handle for long period of time. But using a black rapid strap has helped with the weight considerably. Would recommend this lens to anyone.

Worthy Competitor

Sturdy lens and takes great pictures. However when focusing it will go out and take a second to re focus and seems to bounce the location of the image.

Sigma 70-200mm, f/2.8 Sport

Excellent lens and it is tack sharp and super fast with AF. Love the lens and it is as good as native Canon L glass and about 1/2 the price. It is heavy, but well built and solid. Can’t go wrong with Sigma lenses.

Top Quality & Good Price

This is an amazing lens. I purchased to use on my Sony a9 with MC-11 converter. Saved at least 1/3rd the price of Sony's GM lens and you can still use Sigma's 1.4x tele-converter with it. Not to mention the quality is on par with Sony's lens (which I've previously rented and used). Very happy with my purchase. See attached sample image taken using not only the MC-11 but also Sigma's TC-14 1.4x tele-converter (which makes it a 98-280mm f/4 lens).

FEATURED REVIEWS

Very Impressed with Build Quality

By Christopher C.

Rented both the Canon 70-200 IS II and III to photograph some hockey games. Decided that I needed to purchase a 70-200 lens and saw that Sigma had just released their long awaited update to their first generation 70-200 (almost 10 years old!). Saw a couple reviews and decided to pull the trigger and purchase it. I could not be more impressed - the build quality is superb and really feels even more well built than the Canon. The zoom ring was very tight upon first use, but has loosened up the ...

RockStar Beast!

By Curtis R.

This lens just rocks. Paired with my Nikon D850 I get pin sharp images even at f/2.8. I couldn't justify the $1k+ price difference compared to the OEM because the Sigma is just that Great! The focus is fast, the bokeh is beautiful, the images are sharp and this lens is built solidly. The only draw back is the nearly 4 pounds of a stellar lens however it is manageable.

Designed To Minimize Flare & Ghosting.

From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.
