 overall good lens except.. July 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I chose this lens earlier this year over a Canon L lens because I heard that I would get just as good quality without spending hundreds more. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the quality except a few time the lens would not focus, autofocus and manual focus, in hot or warm weather. The focus would work again after the lens has 'cooled down'. I sent this lens for service recently. Otherwise, it performs well..not quite as fast or smoothly as an L lens but good value for the money.

great-quality optics, no visible CA. has lovely bokeh, though since it's a 2.8 (rather than, say a 1.4 or 1.8) you can't produce completely blurred backgrounds unless the background is some distance back from your subject -- say, 30' or so. makes an excellent portrait lens. AF is fast, accurate and reliable. the HSM is perfect -- quiet, with the forgiving override if you wish. there's no slippage of anything -- the lens feels rock-solid, and... about as heavy as a rock, too. your hand will get a workout if you shoot with this for a while. i'd rather have it heavy -- lots of glass, no cheap construction here.

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Excellent lens! It produces colors that are very rich and natural. This lens is sharp! I have not seen any lens aberration flaws whatsoever, even at 200% crops! The lens collar is a quick release type that is very easy to remove. The lens feels good while being held. This lens (like all others in its class) is heavy; but a lot of fun to shoot with. The bokeh is excellent. I like the non-conspicuous black frame which mates nicely with my 40d. The build quality is top notch and luxurious. It can easily become a favorite lens to shoot with. Highly recommended.
Good product. Better value than Canon brand. April 29, 2008

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