Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM

Pros: AF speed and accuracy, brightness, stabilization, Construction, Look, operation and performance with multipliers

Cons: Front cap uncomfortable, Inability to use the ring of MAF with a lens at rest, lack limiter MAF, no weather sealing.

Opinion: Having the need to purchase a 70-200 f / 2,8 and not wanting to spend the insane amount requested for the excellent Canon IS II, I have been up to the last undecided between this and the new Sigma Tamron VC USD. After you have read in various forums, especially foreigners, difficulty / inability to use the Tamron and Kenko multipliers (I own the 300 DGX PRO version, which is 1.4 2x), at the end I opted for the Sigma, which in addition everything costs less. The use of 5d MKIII.rnSono very satisfied: the lens looks very good already at room temperature and becomes a razor already diaphragmed f / 3.5, the stabilizer is no less than what I had on bianchino f / 4 L IS and l ' AF is very fast and precise, even in AI Servo. With 2 Kenko works without hesitation and with subtle lighting, even the AF is fast and accurate. The 1.4x is digested very well and the picture quality is very good. The 2x, requires at least one aperture stop, but for non-professional use should be just fine. Weight, whereas flagging &ve; the lightest 70-200 f / 2,8 on the market, and is well distributed, although it can not be regarded as a feather, but still provides easy to use even a free hand, which makes him pardon, in part, the absence of tropicalization (you can not have everything ...). RNA level of construction, both looks holding it in your hand, it seems well made. Collars fluid and pasty, no creaking, very nice collar for her crafty tripod and quick release system. Aesthetically, I find it far superior to the old Sigma projects and all in all "makes her figure." Sottotono only the front cap, difficult to insert or remove the lens hood and a little 'subject to disengage from only barely touched. Conversational the hood, even if it's just plastic (not lined), is sufficiently thick and gives a good feeling of robustezza.rnProssimamente I plan to publish something, but the first impressions of this lens are really good.
