Pros: Fixed F2.8, fast autofocus, f 2.8 sharpness at all focal points, hood, stabilizer, construction and robustness.rn

Cons: Lack of tropicalization

Opinion: Wonderful optics. On 7D mk II is a pleasure, you would never take it off. It is a bright zoom that allows a wide range of uses (reportage, panoramas, street) thanks to its focal length, even with a 1.4x sigma multiplier, losing very little as image quality, AF remains fast and accurate, obviously loses a Minimum, for me to have absolutely.

Pros: 2.8 fixed, perfect hike on dx, well built and excellent stabilizer. Extreme sharpness even in TA. VERY lending AF.

Cons: No one but the very difficult find.

Opinion: Optical S U P E R B A, produced ( who knows why ) in a few examples and only for international markets, excluding Italy. It's a real pleasure to use it, being sharp even at TA. Weight and size? Sure, they get a little bit feel but it's a fixed-opening, stabilized luminous zoom, so it couldn't be any different. Compared to Sigma art 50 100 1.8, that I owned and sold to buy this, I prefer it definitely because of the greater focal excursion (it's the corresponding of a 70 200 on FF, i.e. a 75 225 on DX and therefore perfect, jackets' a 70 200 on DX would be too long, at least at the slightest focal ), greater clarity and for the presence of the stabilizer. No f/b focus issues. Also, looking at user scores here on Juza, it has a 9.7 versus 9.6 of "his maesta' Nikon 70 200 FL ", 9.5 of the 70 200 VR II and the 9.3 of the VR I, which cost a financial maneuver, from new. In short, there are many praises and no complaints. To have absolutely, if you have the luck (and it takes a lot) to find it.

Pros: Fixed F2.8, sharpness even at f 2.8 at all focal lengths, lens hood, lens pouch bracket and leads supplied, stabilization 2 and a half stop, well built, fast and accurate autofocus

Cons: Fragility least on my copy of the stabilization group, an important weight for long photo sessions or hiking in the mountains.

Opinion: After nearly four years of almost exclusive use on my Canon Eos 7D in the halls photographing football games 5 and in a more sporadic for portraits can do a review of this view for APS-C in my opinion one of the best telephoto zoom lens not extreme in circulation. The lens is well built and conveys a feeling of strength, lens hood, tripod socket and lens bag door are part of the standard specification unlike for example the Canon that almost always do not offer the hood seems to be buy at disproportionate cost in my opinion. Even at full aperture the definition is very good in the middle and good at the edges, closing improves up to F8 above all at the edges, can stand up to very dense sensors such as the 7D. The blur is pleasantly mellow. Autofocus is fast and fairly accurate with the 7D in all modes, mine was correct for a slight back to -3 focus. The weight is considerable but it helps to hold the handle. The stabilizer is very efficient but at least for my original single6agrave; twice he can do it again. All in all I need to stop the movement of the subject with fast times, not to stabilize the eventual moved my hands. Perhaps the fact to keep it almost always active has accelerated its rupture. My judgment is very positive because I was able to get great shots, the zoom range is optimal in sports halls and is great even outside especially for portraits and more. It is no longer in production, perhaps because he had little market, but I think it is one of the best goals of its category for price performance.

Pros: Sharpness, fast and accurate autofocus, stabilizer

Cons: Weight but inevitable blow up, availability

Opinion: I 've got it used in the UK, because in Italy is virtually impossible to find either new or used, I use it with D 7200 and I must say it is a perfect match, lrnL' AF is fast and accurate and stabilizer is quiet and effective, it is an incredible sharpness at all focal lengths, maybe a little soft at f2.8 but already af 3,5rnè a different story, I use it even with 2x multiplier always sigma, and I must say that very little lost as the image quality, you slow down a little the AF for the rest everything works perfectly, great for portraits, for photographic hunting it is very short but with the 2x you start to play, I recommend it, excellent lens ...

Pros: Crisp and bright. Fast and accurate autofocus.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Purchased used to use with the D7100 (among other things: work all the automatic and the live view contrary to what I read in some reviews) proved an excellent lens. I had no problems with front / back focus; in some circumstances the weight conditions perhaps a bit '(inevitable shake-to below 1 / 60-1 / 50) but amply repays the expenditure sostenuta.rnDa have!

Pros: Sharpness at all focal lengths and all apertures. stabilizer, speed and precision AF

Cons: Absolutely nothing .... but if you want to be picky, weight, dimensions

Opinion: It 'a fantastic optics ..... here I did a little test homemade: AF end very powerful and accurate, vignetting pretty irrelevant, excellent sharpness and colors. and of course all of this weighs costa.rnper regarding the stabilizer is not 4-stop as stated but a little over 2 stop.rnho did a little test and if 150mm shutter times of less than 1/50 begins to be of no micromosso.rnrnse you are going to move to full-frame optics is a must-have .... worth all the money it costs.

Pros: Sharpness at all focal lengths. Excellent brightness. Fast autofocus. Stabilizzazione.rnCostruzione beautiful

Cons: Weight. Size, but it is inevitable when a lens is stabilizzata.rnMancanza tropicalization.

Opinion: I took it for sports coverage in May using it with the Nikon D300 and D300s and I must say it has excellent sharpness, like the "first lens". RNLA my copy does not suffer from any Front / Back focus.rnNelle APS- c, as the D300, is the equivalent of 70-200 of the full-size 35mm, which equals both size and weight version OS (stabilized). RNAs my view is a zoom absolutely underestimated. I think a Sigma 70-200 OS HSA (105-300 in real Aps-c) is too long and this minimum is instead often ideale.rnPurtroppo current trends affecting technical judgments, so this is looked at with a 3X zoom little enough, to torto.rnDecisamente instead a lens excellent.
