Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO

Meets my needs! I reviewed extensively, material on the web on two 70-200mm f2.8 lens with optical stabilization. The two I could afford were Tamron and Sigma. I saw fan boy videos and articles for both makes. And I watched videos by buyers who received bad copies of each. The quality of both could only be discerned by a pixel peeper from the more expensive Nikon or Canon. Then I shopped used. I can across an excellent value for a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 with OS. It works perfectly, so it was sold, not for being a bad copy, but someone wanted to move up. I almost exclusively take pictures indoors in very bad lighting with no flash and hand held. The Sigma does a very good job, with quick focus and sharp images on a Nikon full frame camera. It has been a great addition to my other lenses.

Excellent Lens Looked like and felt like a "bowce" out and about with my new 70-200! The first pictures were stunning to say the least. This is my first semi-pro lens and I could immediately see the difference between it and the pics I took with my variable aperture brand name lenses. The pics on this were crisper and the AF was much faster and quieter. It is a bit weighty and intimidating looking and so would not recommend it as a walk-around lens. I honestly fail to see the marginal value of the brand name lenses. This to me is more bang for your buck. I recommend it without reservation.

Best 70-200 f2.8 with image stabilization for the money Must have lens for enthusiasts like me, image is damn sharp 9.5/10 .Bokeh is one of the best out there super creamy and not distracting 10/10. Af is 9.5/10, built quality is 9.5/10, color and contrast is 10/10 in my own opinion. Best value for the money!
