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

Beautiful lens, but very 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.

Great lens, I use it for sports, weddings and portraits. Perfect focal lengths.

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

Works really well, a little heavy but the quality is good.

This lens works great for me. I take a lot of action shots and it just fills the bill.

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

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.

Works really well, a little heavy but then again what good quality lens isn't.

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 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.

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.

Quick focussing- a bit soft at full zoom and 2.8.

Fantastic lens! I love Sigma! It has become my goto for all my lenses.

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.

Best value; fast and sharp at an affordable price. Thanks Adorama.

No Canon L, but brings its own kind of magic. Large, but feels great to use.

Have 10 of these lenses and use them for Sports and environmental portraiture. They have been very sharp and proven to be very versatile. Great lense

Just rather heavy compared to the comparable Canon or Sony. But it feels well built and sturdy.

Great lens for what you get. The only downside is the size/weight, but if you can handle that, it's perfect!

Yes, this is what I needed. Super sharp portraits at a fraction of the cost of the Nikkor lens. Love the depth of field this lens creates.

Great lens, perfect for sports and portrait photography. I also tried Landscape, abstract, and product photography and the lens does perfectly with its high quality glass.

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.

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).
