A fairly advanced telephoto lens for full frame matrices. Traditionally, Sigma devices are available in several modifications for different systems: Canon (EF mount), Nikon (F mount), Pentax (K mount), Sigma (SA mount) and Sony / Minolta (A mount). The range of focal lengths is 70-200 mm, but the aperture ratio is constant throughout the gap — f / 2.8. The aperture has 9 blades, its minimum value is 22. It is also worth noting the image stabilizer and ultrasonic autofocus drive.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

The two reviews above were very helpful, especially the one from August 19, 2016 - I also have a Nikon D600. Thank you, guys! No focus misses, sharpness wide open across all focal lengths, and great aperture! I've long dreamed of shooting with a bright telephoto lens. Dream come true in full! I agree - the lens isn't for everyone. You need to know what you want from it. But what an image, what colors! As a portrait lens, it's magnificent. SUPER!!! Not found. use Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 OS AF HSM APO EX DG month or more i recommend it should buy |
Occasionally, you can find brand-new specimens on the secondary market, at half the price. If you see one, definitely grab it. Even at full price, it will be worth every penny you spend. However, it's only meant for those who truly need this kind of lens. This lens is not for beginners. Read "Radozhiva" - they write useful information. Most importantly, read the instructions and properly set up your camera. You will be pleasantly surprised. Sharp, works 2.8 throughout the entire range, focuses instantly, stabilization holds dead still. Under a full moon, I photographed the moon, took portraits by hand at 200, at night, WITHOUT FLASH! No blurring. The capabilities of my D600 have been rediscovered. Color reproduction, color depth are amazing. CA - 0!!! Distortion and vignetting—ha! My sample has none. For those who understand and know how, there are no shortcomings. use Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 OS AF HSM APO EX DG month or more i recommend it should buy |
Sigma offers many more affordable alternatives to the "native" glass developed and produced by the photo industry's sharks. One of them is the telephoto Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM with a high constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range.
Internal focus
An optical scheme consisting of 22 elements in 17 groups was placed in a large and heavy body of the lens. All lenses move inside the body both when focus and when changing the focal length, so that the lens does not change in size during operation. A complete petal hood with a separate extension cord can increase its length for use in tandem with APS-C format cameras (due to a narrower viewing angle, they are more prone to stray light).
The nature of the drawing
The high-class optical characteristics of the lens are emphasized by the real picture of its operation — the happy owners of the lens are satisfied with razor sharpness, excellent colour reproduction and minimal impact on the picture of chromatic aberration. And when using the lens as a portrait lens, the spectacular bokeh deserves special respect, which is drawn using a 9-blade aperture.
Developed ergonomics
For those who have not dealt with Sigma optics, at first the location of the zoom and manual focus rings will seem unusual — they are located opposite to their usual position. Moreover, access to them can be blocked by the aforementioned hood when it is installed with the reverse side. Other controls on the lens body include a focus mode switch and a three-position stabilizer mode selector. In the first of them, the stub is turned off, in the second it compensates for fluctuations in the horizontal and vertical plane, and in the second it is purely horizontal.
Winning in price
The lens is available in versions for the most common mirror mounts. And although its cost cannot be called low, compared to Nikon, Canon and Sony's own solutions, the lens provides almost a twofold gain in price. For the rest of the change, it is better to replenish your fleet of optics with one of the many fixes, whether it is a wide-angle, portrait or macro lens.
