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

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO review by kinematic
My second Sigma 70-200 F/2.8 and now with OS (Image Stabilized). Sigma made some really important and necessary improvements. I loved the previous version but there were some issues with micro contrast and slight CA. But it was such a tremendous value.
Pros:
- Image Stabilizer
- Fast Aperture
- Comparable quality to Canon and Nikon equivalents
- Quick Release Tripod Ring
- Large Zoom Ring
Cons:
- Noisy IS which takes a second or two to activate
- heavy
- not weather proofed

In terms of overall performance there's no beating the Canon and Nikon 70-200mm lenses. They do the best job of focusing on fast-moving subjects. However, this Sigma isn't too far behind when it comes to tracking movement.

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
