Sigma 70-200mm f/2. 8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Popularity: unranked [?]
I purchased this lens after reading all of the great reviews and weighing logically the price difference between the nikon 70-200 VR. Picked it up at the southeastern camera only to be disappointed 12 days later. The AF stopped working and it had to be shipped to sigma for repair. I had no time to wait for sigma so I ended up sacrificing the f2. 8 and going for the nikon 80-400 VR. I shoot aerials and was planning on putting a teleconverter on the sigma to get me to 400mm at 5. 6 anyways. I like the 80-400, except for the minimum distance of focus. I also miss f2. 8. But oh well. I am saving money for the Nikon 70-200 VR at the moment.

Lens works very well for my needs. Could not justify Canon lens, so this was the logical alternative.

The only thing about this is there is like the tiny little bit of wiggle in the connection. Other than that this has become a primary lens.

Stopped down it’s pretty sharp. Wide open it’s ok. Contrast and color is ok too, just not wonderful. Focus is fast and precise. Ultimately, I decided to return the lens.
