My second favorite lens for concert photography. I use the Sigma Art 50-100 mm lens 1.8 for very dark close venues and this lens works great if I am not able to get so close to the stage. With f2.8 it does well in the dark, changing light environment. Quick and sharp focus

Since I couldn`t afford Nikon version of 70-200mm, I decided to go with Sigma. I did very extensive research and decided it`s worth the money. It`s been over a month, I took maybe thousand pictures with it. I can say this I`m in love with it. It`s a perfect lens for portrait works.

High cost

I buy Nikon lenses. I'm not a lens snob [yes I am] but I want hardware uniformity so that I can't blame the equipment when there's an issue. There's many small things that immediately stand out as negative to me about the Nikon mount version of this sigma lens. 1.

This is a great value-for-money lens. It feels great in the hand, but more importantly it focuses quickly and is very sharp.

I purchase this Sigma 70-200mm lens as a replacement for my Canon 70-200mm lens without stabilize capabilities. WOW, what a amazing lens, on my first day of purchasing it I went out to back country National park area,I guess I can call it my lucky lens.

I am a professional wedding photographer, and my Canon 70-200 2.8L IS had pretty much run its course, and I was no longer happy with the image quality. I didn't want to spend over $2000 on a replacement, as I am primarily a prime lens shooter and my 135mm produces images just as sharp as the new...

Lens is a little heavy, but better that cheap, light weight plastic. Lens is used mostly for shooting indoor concerts & sporting events and seems to fast focus very well.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Rugged; Strong Construction

Heavy

This is the first time I have used a lens of this size, weight and features. So far I am pleased with the ease of which I can test each of the auto, manual focus and stabalizer features. For my style of photography I am pleased with the image clarity and colour.

Absolutely love this one. I am not a professional photographer but I am not a total novice either (my first SLR was a nikon F8001 - so well over 25 years ago). I do own a few other f/2.8 zoom lenses (sigma included - two versions of the 24-70 (with the older one being much better btw) and this is by...
