    • The Sigma 137101 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens is an Amazing compliment to our existing Canon telephoto L class lenses
Style: Canon
Before sharing my thoughts on the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Canon, please let me share a little about my photography background and existing equipment... I first got into photography in 1968 when I was with Army Aviation in Vietnam. At that time I was using a minolta 35mm camera... I first started using Canon equipment When the first Rebel came out and then upgraded to the 20D when it first came out and now my wife and I use Canon's 1DX, 5D-III, 7D-II and 7D. We have several of Canon's L series long lenses including the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II USM, the 100-400 f/4.5/5.6 IS II USM, 400mm f/4 DO and the 600mm f/4L IS II USM. We have very nice full sensor and crop sensor cameras with very nice glass but we clearly had a gap in the 300mm range. Canon's 300mm f/2.8l IS II USM goes for $6,599 and only fills part of the gap. Besides needing the 300mm f/2.8 for stills and videos of wildlife we often need to be able to have zoom available but still need to be able to retain the f/2.8. Canon does have a 200-400 but it is f/4 and costs $11,799. Canon also has a 28-300 and a 70-300 at $2,549 and $1,499 respectively but they are f/3.5-5.6L and f/4-5.5.6L $3,599 respectively... So this is how we came to look at Sigma's 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM lens for Canon. If you are not familiar with Sigma's lettering system, as I was not, The DG is Sigma's designation for Full Frame Lenses although this lens also works well with APS-C sized sensors. With the Canon 7D-II 1.6 crop factor this gives us a zoom ratio of 192-480mm. The OS stands for Optical Stabilizer which you would only turn on when not using a tripod. This is a rather heavy lens and hand holding when combined with the weight of your camera makes it very difficult when filming moving targets... I know I have tried, but any good glass lens above 200mm that I am using, is always on a tripod or at least a monopod. The HSM stands for Hyper Sonic Motor. Since I am basically a Canon snob when coming to DSLR cameras or associated lenses, I was very very hesitant in trying this particular Sigma lens, even at the great price of $3,599 when compared to Canon's 300mm f/2.8 at $6,599. However Amazon has never given us any problems with returns as long as the equipment we tried was treated with care and I always treat all of my Camera equipment with great care. So that helped with my incentive to go ahead and try the Sigma lens but not until I read every review I could find... If you go through Amazon's reviews on this particular lens, the lowest review I could find was a 3 star from September 2013 and it's complaint was connection problems resulting in focus issues however I have not experienced either issue with the Lens that I purchased so I can't speak to that one... There were two 4 star reviews, one from September 2013 from a sports shooter... His main complaint dealt with initial focus issues which he was able to correct with the optional Sigma USB Dock for Canon. I could not find any of the Sigma USB Docks for Canon in stock anywhere in the US and had to order one from Japan which still has not arrived, therefore I can not speak to this yet until I receive the Dock next week. I will provide an update after I have been able test the settings after using the Dock, but so far I have not had any focus issues, on the contrary I have been very impressed with the focus that I have been able to receive from this lens so far and I am very picky about the sharpness of my photos... We have shot wildlife and landscape in East Africa, (Kenya), as well as South Africa, (Botswana), all over the US and Canada and several locations in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands. Our travel is expensive and returning with out of focus shots are not an option. The other Amazon 4 Star review was more recent, October 2014 from a Nikon shooter who was also a sports shooter. He also purchased the USB dock primarily to be able to see all of the lens' features, especially those dealing with the differences in the focus speed. However for him the lens was spot on focus out of the box. His main complaint was regarding focus speed and function. he was shooting primarily AFC spot focus and the lens did not meet his expectations... Then he switched to D9 focus and it worked very well for him. He did also mention the weight... The other 16 Amazon reviews were all 5 star and all praised the lens... Some did reference the weight but none felt the need to ding the review any stars... Again, so far, I have not experienced any focus issues and because sharpness is critical to me, I am always using a tripod with a wimberley head for my heavy glass so the weight is just not a factor to me... Amazon lists the weight at 6.5 lbs. but mine is closer to 7.5 lbs. maybe their reference does not include the collar/tripod mount, hood or caps, not really sure. B&H Photo had 15 reviews on this particular lens. One of those was a brief 1 Star review from June 2013 complaining of severe back focusing problems even after using the USB dock. They had one brief 3 Star review. He was also using it with a Canon 7D-II & 5D-III and complained it wasn't as sharp for him with either camera even after using the USB dock and updating the firmware. He was comparing to Canon's 300 f/4 and 300 f/28. I have not tried it with our 5D-III yet because I love the crop factor of our Canon 7D-II but I am certain that my wife will be trying it with both the 1DX and the 5D-III. Again, I will provide an update to the review after testing our other cameras but so far I am just not able to reproduce the focus issues that these gentlemen reported. Of the remaining 13 B&H reviews, 6 of them were 4 Star reviews... Their main complaints dealt with the weight(3), tripod collar smoothness(1), claim of 280mm vs 300mm(1), best sharpness at one stop down from wide open(1), not as fast focusing as Canon's 300mm f/2.8(2), the need to purchase the USB dock to fine tune the lens(2). So for me, again, the weight is not a factor and not worth a star ding because I feel one should be using a tripod or at least a monopod when using any f/2.8 300mm+ L lens... I have not been able to reproduce the tripod collar smoothness issue, on the contrary my tests proved the collar to be very smooth... I actually feel that being able to purchase a USB collar to fine tune the lens is a huge bonus. I want to be able to fine tune my lens using the 2 custom buttons to match my specific needs and I am not aware of being able to do anything like this with any of our Canon L lenses... I am not smart enough to know how to test whether or not I am getting the full 300mm vs. 280mm other than metadata and my metadata reports the full 300mm, so I can't really speak to that complaint... So far I have not been able to reproduce any of the reported focus issues or focus speed issues reported and I have shot several different fast moving wildlife events and long distance scenery shots with no issues to report in those areas. So to wrap it up, from my perspective and my limited experience with this lens, Sigma's 137101 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Canon is amazing, especially for the price being $3,000 less than Canon's f/2.8 300mm, plus having the flexibility of being able to shoot with the range of 120mm to 300m vs Canon's 300mm prime, or in the case of our 7D-II, 192mm - 480mm. I would not hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone... ... show more

    • Top Quality
Style: Nikon
This all started a year ago when I found myself faced with a perfect photo opportunity and only armed with a 60mm that day. I ran across two black bears busy digging out a tree stump across a creek and they were so engrossed neither noticed the group of photographers shooting away from the other side, except me!!. As I looked around, I saw almost every photographer with a long lens, 300, 400 both Canons and Nikons shooters, one was using a Nikon 200-400. Here I was with a great photo opt and I came home nothing to show for it, because I was not prepared. I have posted some of photos I took with this lens on the truetoad site, look for the gallery-wildlife-birds There are a LOT of choices in the 300mm and longer range out there and one could list half a page of various zooms that reach as far as 500mm for under $1500.00, but each of these offerings has its draw backs in performance. For one, I don’t like lens that extend and contract during zooming (pumpers as I call them), I prefer internal focusing with a constant f stop, at lest f4 and nothing more. As I laid out my requirements with my budget restraints the choices narrowed considerably so, I made my choice based on my available funds going for the most performance at a reasonable cost. After several days of reading and research, It was the new Sigma 120~300mm 2.8 Sport edition I decided on. Had I the capital (cash) I would have went for the Nikon 500mm f4, I plan on getting that lens next year. The full hands on review for this Sigma can be found on my TrueToad site. Here it is in a nut shell; Weight: This is a seven pounder, and couple that with your DSLR and your closing in on 9 pounds. So, unless you have been working out this may be around the weight that benefits from some kind of support. I am researching a harness to allow me to carry and shoot - we shall see Quality/Craftsmanship: Sigma did a wonderful job revamping this lens, the build, fit and finish is top notch and has weather sealing. This is a top quality lens, no slop, wobble, or otherwise. Image Quality: Very good, I am impressed and having the infamous Nikkor 70-200mm VRII Sigma's image sharpness is in most cases just as sharp as the Nikon's. There is some slight softness at 300mm but nothing to complain about. Focus and Optical Stabilization: The focus is fast, and accurate, with a fast or slow option. Mine does have some difficulty at times when clutter is near the subject, such as birds in trees surrounded by branches, but overall, the focus nails it, and keep in mind a lot depends on available light, and how you have YOUR camera set up. Optical Stabilization works as well as my Nikkor VRII lens, and does improve overall image quality when using slower shutter speeds. This lens has OS two modes, and when engaged makes a slight auditable click, and when viewing through the viewfinder you can see the image lock. So, yes it works and is beneficial. Price VS Performance; This is not a cheap lens, so you expect a good performing lens when you get it. SIGMA has done a great job of adding tweaks to their already great lens making it even better and more enjoyable to use. Since the next closest price for a 2.8 300mm will set you back about 2 grand more, this lens makes a lot of sense. Things you need to know and consider: Consider adding the USB dock if you buy this lens, the dock allows you to update the firmware, and make additional tweaks to a few parameters. This lens DOES NOT support Nikon Tele converters. So if you a Nikon Shooter and already have an investment in Nikon TCs, your out of luck. You will need to purchase one that works, I suggest in this case the SIGMA line as they work perfectly with this lens. Yep - another $250.00 sorry. I use both the 1.4 and 2.0 Sigma TCs and I can say the 1.4 really shines, making this lens a 420mm and very good sharpness; check out my images on the TrueToad site shot with this combination. I gave this lens 5 stars based on the quality, performance, and price when measured against the cost of other 300mm 2.8 lenses. Sure, the primes offered by Nikon or Canon do deliver slight increase in performance, but the additional cost in my opinion out weighs the benefit. ... show more

    • Listed weights are not accurate; size is a HUGE issue for handholding
Style: Canon
The weights listed on the Amazon pages are not accurate. On a quick read, you'll see that this lens is listed at 6.5 pounds, which is about the same as what's listed for the the Sigma 150-600 (Contemporary) that I just bought and loved--6 pounds. But neither weight is true; on my scale, this lens comes out to 8 pounds, 3 ounces while the 150-600 is just over half that. The confusion is in the Technical Details portion of the page. The 150-600 (C) shows Item Display Weight as 6 pounds; right below that is Item Weight,1930 grams. Over on the 120-300 page, the two entries are reversed: Item Display Weight is 3,390 grams and Item Weight is 6.5 pounds. The Sport version of the 150-600 shows Item Display Weight as 2,900 grams and Item Weight as 6.31 pounds. Are you confused yet? It appears to me the metric weights are correct but the pounds are not; for us metrically-challenged Americans, it's easy to just read the pounds and get it wrong. You might want to check the Sigma website. I did some quickie weighing on a little postal scale and can't swear to my own accuracy; I'm just saying the Amazon page is misleading. This is one of those lenses you really want to try in person before you mail-order it. As for the lens itself, I only tested it a little. It's very well-built, of course, and seems sharp and precise. I just don't see how anyone could reasonably hand-hold it for any length of time. I'd planned on using it for live-music performances, thinking it only weighed a little more than other lenses I've used (70-200, 100-400, 150-600). But not only is the weight a problem, the diameter and balance are issues. I'm sure this would be a great lens on a monopod or tripod, but hand-held in a crowded venue, it's just not worth the extra reach. ... show more
