I reviewed extensively, material on the web on two 70-200mm f2.8 lens with optical stabilization. The two I could afford were Tamron and Sigma. I saw fan boy videos and articles for both makes. And I watched videos by buyers who received bad copies of each. The quality of both could only be discerned by a pixel peeper from the more expensive Nikon or Canon. Then I shopped used. I can across an excellent value for a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 with OS. It works perfectly, so it was sold, not for being a bad copy, but someone wanted to move up. I almost exclusively take pictures indoors in very bad lighting with no flash and hand held. The Sigma does a very good job, with quick focus and sharp images on a Nikon full frame camera. It has been a great addition to my other lenses.

Looked like and felt like a "bowce" out and about with my new 70-200! The first pictures were stunning to say the least. This is my first semi-pro lens and I could immediately see the difference between it and the pics I took with my variable aperture brand name lenses. The pics on this were crisper and the AF was much faster and quieter. It is a bit weighty and intimidating looking and so would not recommend it as a walk-around lens. I honestly fail to see the marginal value of the brand name lenses. This to me is more bang for your buck. I recommend it without reservation.

Must have lens for enthusiasts like me, image is damn sharp 9.5/10 .Bokeh is one of the best out there super creamy and not distracting 10/10. Af is 9.5/10, built quality is 9.5/10, color and contrast is 10/10 in my own opinion. Best value for the money!

This is a great lens and a great value especially if you can pick up a good lightly used one. I've only owned it a short time but have taken some great shots.I bought it to take indoor wrestling pictures with my Nikon D90. These are from in a completely dark gym with a spotlight above the mat. Pics are at ISO 800, exp.1/200 sec., f2.8. This is a hobby for me. Just take pics for fun.

I owned a previous generation model of this exact lens and it lasted me over 15 yrs. I'm pleased with this newer OS version and I am hopeful this newer version will also give me 15+ years of use. So far, it's amazing.

Focus closer than expected and with good depth of field.

It's a beautiful lens! However, it was just too heavy for me as a rookie 63 year old female. I got some great shots at the beginning of a basketball game, but not many since I could not hold the camera very long and it would drop and my pictures came out blurry. I would recommend this lens for anyone who is not a weakling like me.

Very easy to work with, and nice lens! Just didn’t work for my camera.
