Description

SIGMA 70-200MM LENS CANON F/2.8 LARGE TELEPHOTO LENS From the Manufacturer Large aperture telephoto zoom lens incorporating Sigma's original Optical Stabilizer functionThis large aperture telephoto zoom lens, incorporating Sigma's original Optical Stabilizer function, covers focal lengths from 70mm to 200mm and offers a constant aperture of F2.8 over the entire zoom range. The OS function offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. It makes shooting easy for many types of photography such as portraits and sports. Two FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite glass, and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction of color aberration. Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. The lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), ensuring a quiet and high speed AF as well as full-time manual focus capability. It is also possible to attach Sigma's optional APO Tele Converters. No Optical Stabilizer (top). With Optical Stabilizer (bottom). Super Multi-Layer CoatingThe lens is equipped with Sigma's own unique OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This system offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible, making telephoto shooting easy. Mode 1 is ideal for general photography and Mode 2 is designed for panning subjects such as racing cars. For Sony and Pentax mount, the built-in OS function of this lens can be used even if the camera body is equipped with an anti-shake function. As compensation for camera shake is visible in the view finder, the photographer can easily check for accurate focus and ensure there is no subject movement. For Pentax and Sony mounts, it is not possible to use the AF and the built-in OS function of this lens when attaching it to film SLR cameras as well as Pentax ist series and K100D. When using the OS function of a lens with a camera which incorporates a stabilizer unit, please turn the camera's stabilizer unit off. This lens cannot be used with film SLR cameras with the exception of the Nikon F6 and Canon EOS-1v.Compact constructionThis lens has a compact construction with a diameter of 3.4in, overall length of 7.8in. and weight of 50.4oz. This compact and lightweight construction makes it ideal for many types of photography such as portraits, landscapes and sports. No Super Multi-Layer Coating (left). With Super Multi-Layer Coating (right). Excellent Optical PerformanceThis lens features two FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have the performance equal to fluorite glass, and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements providing excellent correction of color aberration. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and ensures high contrast images. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. FLD glass is the highest level low dispersion glass available with extremely high light transmission. This optical glass has a performance equal to fluorite glass which has a low refractive index and low dispersion compared to current optical glass. It also benefits from high anomalous dispersion.These characteristics give excellent correction for residual chromatic aberration (secondary spectrum) which cannot be corrected by ordinary optical glass and ensures high definition and high contrast images. Hyper Sonic Motor High speed and quiet AFHSM indicates lenses equipped with a Hyper Sonic Motor, driven by ultrasonic waves. Incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed autofocus, while allowing full-time manual focus override. For Sony and Pentax mount, AF will not function with DSLR cameras that do not support HSM.Rounded diaphragmThis lens has a rounded 9 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive bokeh to the out of focus area.Lens ConstructionIn a conventional lens, focusing requires an extension of the entire lens or the front lens group. However, to better accommodate autofocusing mechanisms and closeup photography, a need has arisen for lenses that do not change their length during focusing or suffer from focus-dependent variation in aberration. Therefore, Sigma has developed focusing systems that only move elements within the lens barrel. These incorporate smaller and lighter moving lens elements which help improve auto- focus speed. With their unchanging barrel length and small variation in the center of gravity, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.Specifications Lens Construction 22 Elements in 17 Groups Angle of View 34.3 - 12.3 degrees Number of Diaphragm Blades 9 Blades (Rounded diaphragm) Minimum Aperture F22 Minimum Focusing Distance 140cm / 55.1in.

MTF ChartView Larger ImageMTF (Modular Transfer Function) is one of the measurements that evaluates a lens' performance, and it contrasts sensitivity at different spacial frequencies. The horizontal axis is in millimeters and shows the distance from the center of the image toward the edges, and contrast value (highest value is 1) is shown in the vertical axis.The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens' contrast ability (red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens' sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open. Fine repeating line sets are created parallel to a diagonal line running from corner to corner of the frame, are called Sagittal lines (S) and sets of repeating lines vertical to these lines are drawn, called Meridional (M) line sets.DistortionView Larger Imageeffective distortion: When you take a picture of a lattice pattern, it will appear as the blue dotted line shows. the red line illustrates how the lattice pattern will appear in the actual picture when any lens distortion is taken into account.relative distortion: In this chart, the horizontal axis shows the ideal image height (the distance from the center to the edge of the image [mm]). The vertical axis shows the extent of distortion. The extent of the distortion is represented by how much Y, which is the actual image height, grows (or shrinks) against Y0 which is the ideal image height.Extent of distortion: D[%]=(Y-Y0/Y0)x100When you take the picture of a square object, if the distortion amount show a minus value, the image will be seen as expanded (Barrel distortion). If the distortion amount is a plus value, it will be seen as a recessed (pincushi on distortion). When the distortion value is close to 0, the appearance of distortion is very minimal.VignettingView Larger ImageThe horizontal axis shows the image height (the distance from the center to the edge of the image [mm]). The vertical axis shows the amount of light in the image (based on the amount of light in the image center being 100%). If the peripheral amount of light is lower than the center, the four corners of the image will be darker (vignetting).

    • Best lens I ever owned
Style: Nikon Digital DSLR Camera
Review Image by P. P.
Review Image by P. P.
Review Image by P. P.
I came from owning the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 and looking for something better since I do weddings and other events. The Tamron was unusable at f2.8 plus extreme corner unsharpness and lots of chromatic aberration. I was a little bit anxious if the Sigma OS might not be much better. Wrong! This lens is incredibly sharp. Even at f2.8. Even at 200mm. Impressive! - How sharp is it? - At f2.8 it is already very sharp, at any focal length. Viewing the resulting photos in the usual web resolution (up to 900px) you can not see any unsharpness at all. On a 100% view it's getting a little bit softer, but the sharpness is still on par with any (medium-tele to tele, can't compare wide-angles) Nikon glass I have ever shot with wide-open (and that includes e.g. the 50mm f1.4G and 105mm f2.0). Maybe I have the best copy ever produced by Sigma - but what I'm saying is that none of the six prime lenses I ever owned was sharper wide-open. If you stop it down a little bit to f4.0 it gets incredible sharp to a point that results are just limited by my camera sensor's resolution (using it on D300 and now on D700). Corner sharpness: Towards the corners it's getting a little bit softer (affecting roughly the outer 25-30% of the image) but compared to my Sigma & Tamron 17-50mm (which is not a fair comparison though) it is quite acceptable. The corner unsharpness gets more significant the more you zoom in. And on a full frame sensor you will have more corner unsharpness than on a cropped sensor. For most uses of this lens the corner sharpness it not extremely significant. I didn't even notice the unsharpness until using this lens (on D700) for some group pictures at a wedding lately. I guess a prime (if handy) would be my better choice next time but the photos still came out great and the slight unsharpness on the few group pics where people where in the outer lens area are only visible on 1:1 or maybe 1:2 view. - What about the focus? - Quiet. Reasonably fast. Accurate and locks without hunting. Having owned more than a dozen AF lenses in my life, I could not name you one that had a significantly better focus than the Sigma. - Is the optical stabilizer (OS) worth the higher price tag? - A b s o l u t e l y . And when you had the Sigma 70-200 without OS in mind: Sigma redesigned and improved the whole thing. (Google for "dpreview sigma 70-200 OS") It's not just about the OS. But even if, the OS alone is worth every cent. When you press the shutter halfway the picture starts to "glue". I can take pictures with this lens at 200mm down to 1/50 second without blur, could even do some with 1/30 at 200mm (still need a calm hand for that though). For pictures at around 1/200 it significantly helps too to get a much higher keeper rate. - What are the OS settings? - You can switch to: OFF - you should do that for tripod use, otherwise the OS will produce blur 1 - for panning pictures like moving car and cam is following the car 2 - for all other OS use (much more efficient than 1) - Using it for portraits rather than a prime now - I also have the Sigma 85mm f1.4 which makes fantastic pictures but I started to leaving it home and using the 70-200 now for outdoor portrait work like engagement photos. The classic arguments for primes are that they are sharper and faster (wider aperture). I don't see the 85mm at f2.5 being visibly sharper than the 70-200 at f4 (about the very corner sharpness I don't care too much for portrait work either). And for the bokeh, I get more of that at f4 @ 150mm than at f2.5 @ 85mm (I wouldn't use any long lens totally wide open in bright, sunny environment). And about the my-feet-are-my-zoom strategy I just gotta say: the more you zoom in, the more the background gets compressed and the closer it gets. So with a long tele-zoom lens you can adjust your focal length to include more or less of the background and getting background objects closer to your subject (e.g. people standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge). And that's an important thing to do for your picture composition. You cannot do that with your feet and a prime. So I would say this lens is not only a great choice for doing event and wedding photography, but also for portrait work. It is not cheap but it might be the last lens you ever needed (if you are all-set on wide-angles that is). - Conclusion - I might end up some day with the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 and keeping the Sigma as a backup (I don't think I will ever sell this beauty!), but no hurry for that: The Sigma is such an amazing lens that I don't feel the urge to step up at the moment. I can just highly recommend it to anyone. It is truly the best lens I ever owned. UPDATE 6/25/2012: Still the best lens I ever owned. Done more than a dozen paid shoots with it including a couple of weddings. The keeper rate of this lens is amazing. I'd say less than 5% of shots taken with it needed to be deleted because of unsharpness etc (the OS is doing such an incredible job). And that includes low light wedding receptions. The lens is exclusively on my D700 and this combination rocks. Wide enough on the 70mm end e.g. for a bride walking down the aisle. If the locations supports it I'm doing all wedding formals (group/family shots) with it too, because the corner unsharpness is very low and better than most other lenses that I carry around with me. For some casual engagement/portrait sessions I took out the Sigma 85 f1.4 instead and loved the creaminess of the bokeh which beats the Sigma 70-200 on an artistic level, while I would still kind of prefer the 70-200 for its zoom-capability (and it also has a nice bokeh, but in a bokeh-contest the 70-200 will lose after a hard decision). I'm protecting it with an Hoya HMC 77mm UV filter, btw - and you should do the same. Don't go with a cheaper filter as it will produce likely ghost reflections, the Hoya never did that to me and the ~$40 investment is a wise choice to protect your multi-coated front element. Anyhow, I hope that your copy of this lens will be as great as mine, maybe I was just lucky. I bought it used on Amazon. UPDATE 12/18/2013: Slightly unrelated, but maybe still interesting for potential buyers: After switching my entire gear from Nikon to Canon, I bought the exact same lens for the Canon mount. Same great results. Love this lens. I would say it is 90% of the quality the Canon 70-200 IS II. Several 2nd shooters working for me at weddings brought their $2k Canon lens and the results weren't better than mine with this Sigma. Conclusion: I will stay with the Sigma 70-200 for a longer time and rather update other lenses first (if I ever need to buy the more expensive 70-200). ... show more

    • Amazing lens, too heavy for me
Style: Canon Digital DSLR Camera
I loved this lens, but I had to return it. Why 5 stars? Well, it's everything I hoped it to be. Incredible sharpness, fast aperture, and $1000 less than the Canon for a [reportedly] very slight decrease in quality. Why did I return it? Two reasons, it's too bulky to travel/have fun with, and I don't need f/2.8. On the first point, I'm well built @ 175lbs 6', and 28 years old. Strong enough to lug around 3.5 pounds. But for my style of photography - hanging out with friends, photographing family, fly-on-the-wall type stuff - it was just too damn big. Every time I pulled it out, I felt like Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds, casually and awkwardly unsheathing out my huge pipe. I also have a bad back, and I'll be damned if 3.5 pounds at a weird backpack angle doesn't wear me out. Your mileage may vary on this point, but for me, the cost/benefit didn't make sense. On the subject of f/2.8 - I don't have kids, I don't have indoor soccer games to photograph, generally no indoor events where speed at this focal range would be useful (e.g., a house - you have to be across a large room or down a hall for 70-200 to make sense on an APS-C)... I just have no need for it. I convinced myself prior to buying this that I wanted the best, and this is certainly it. But after playing around with it for a few weeks, I realized that I don't need the f/2.8 and I don't need the weight. I ended up with the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS USM. It's a nice lens, way lighter, less conspicuous, and reportedly sharper (though I can't tell the difference). I also tried the 70-300 f/4.0 - 5.6, and it was OK, but felt too cheap. It was also noticeably less sharp when compared side-by-side with the Sigma & Canon. One last note - I ordered all of these lenses used but 'Like New' from Amazon Warehouse. The lenses I received were in almost-perfect condition, so I highly recommend exploring the "used" options from Amazon Warehouse. That said, when I finally decided on the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS USM, I bought it via Amazon Warehouse. They shipped the non-IS version to me, which is worth about half of what I paid. I calmly but firmly called Amazon, and they agreed to refund full return shipping costs, as well as overnight a brand new 70-200 f/4L IS USM to me, which I received the very next day. To be clear, I paid full price for the f/4L IS, though I saved 7% due to a running promotion - 4% off camera equipment, plus 3% cash back from the Amazon Visa. So it ended up costing the same as the used version due to the savings! But anyway, Amazon agreed to waive the overnight shipping fee on the replacement, which was awesome, so that felt pretty fair. All-in-all, if you are sure that you need f/2.8 and that 3.5 lbs isn't a big deal, then buy this thing and don't look back. ... show more

    • Great zoom lens - wonderful for wedding photographers!
Style: Sony Digital DSLR Camera
This is truly a wonderful camera lens. The 70-200 zoom range is great - I use this primarily when shooting wedding ceremonies. It is also nice on vacation for getting shots of things a little further away, or photographing birds at home. A 400 zoom range would be better, but you lose some aperture abilities there, and I need to be able to shoot in low light. It was tough deciding between this and the longer length, but this ultimately won out because I needed the low light capabilities. Inside of a church, this works great (and outside, of course, it is outstanding). There are two oddities: the zoom is the reverse of every other zoom I own (or have owned). Isn't that odd? I ALWAYS have to think about which way to turn this to zoom - and sometimes that extra second can cause me to miss the shot. Also, if you take the lens hood off and attach it to the lens, you can no longer use the zoom - another oddity! If I ever do take it off, I end up wearing it on my arm like some odd piece of jewelry until I have a chance to get back to my camera bag and stash it. I find the focus is accurate and fast - which I can't say about my Sigma 35mm prime (I despise that thing and that lens almost made me not order this one). But this one has a great focus. It is a heavy lens, and your arms will feel it after an 8-10 hour wedding day, but it takes beautiful photos. I like this also during the reception because I can be further away and still get great shots. I highly recommend this! It is a reasonable price for a nice piece of glass that should last a very long time. ... show more
