A great lens for the intermediate photographer
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.

Even though there's a slight drop in sharpness at 200mm, the Sigma delivers excellent overall image quality, making it exceptional value at the price.
Pros:
- Value for money
- Overall performance
- Dual-mode image stabilizer
Cons:
- Slight loss of sharpness at full zoom
- f/2.8 maximum aperture makes it big and heavy

Pleased with this purchase so far
I debated for a while on whether to wait until I could afford the Nikon version or going ahead and getting the Sigma. I have a trip coming up to Alaska so decided to go ahead and give the Sigma a try. I have only had it for a short while but so far I am very pleased with the results from this lens.

Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM
The Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM ($1,259) is a less-expensive professional alternative to similar lenses from Canon, Nikon, and Sony. The stabilized 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom is the go-to lens for many an event shooter, and getting one for under $2,000 is an appealing prospect.
Pros:
- Excellent center sharpness through most of its range
- Fixed f/2.8 aperture
- Includes tripod collar
- Optically stabilized
Cons:
- So-so images at 200mm f/2.8
- Distortion at 70mm
- Edge performance could be better

nice , but not worth the price
I purchased this lens after a recomentdation. After using it for a day to get familiar with it, I found that it was just too slow for an f2.8 for the money. The focus seemed to be just a little bit off when wide open at 200mm.
Pros:
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

My second favorite lens for concert photography
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

Overall it's a very good lens and a good investment. It gives fantastic results when used at f/4 and also gives very good and perfectly usable images at f/2.8 It's only a notch off the Nikon and Canon alternatives. I am very pleased with it and have not regretted buying it one bit.
Pros:
- A bit soft at f/2.8
Cons:
- Great Build Quality, Stabilizer works very effectively with low shutter speeds, has a very heavy and solid feel, silent and fast autofocus
- It has very smooth zoom and focus rings
- It performs great in low light situations and provides high shutter speeds
