Pros:Excellent construction, excellent sharpness (maybe less than the extreme focal lengths at the maximum aperture), very fast and silent focus, excellent stabilizer, endowment. And do not forget the price.
Cons:Maybe a little bit of weight but also competition does not offer feathers. It would have been preferable to have the capability of removing the tripod bracket even with the lens mounted on the body.
Opinion:Excellent value for money. Used very little but with excellent results for both natural and sports photos. It has an instant focus and a high quality sharpness, maybe drops to the maximum apertures but to go safe just close a diaphragm. Having a good tripod could increase the satisfaction of getting great natural and sports photographs.
Pros:Well done. Good quality, sharpness up to 300 then close one stop and is perfect. Easy to use, very quiet. I have the A-mount version and (fantastic) I also have my stabilizer, so I can choose whether to use his or her car body. MAF fast but if I limit it from the car body A99 it becomes a lightning strike.
Cons:A bit heavy but 1.7Kg and 0.8 of a total machine 2.5Kg., If you think weighs just like a Sigma 150-500. All in all bearable. Zoom clutch a little soft, with shoulder strap in the travel tends to stretch if not stuck to 120mm.
Opinion:Taken used at 271 €, it has given me very good results (you know when you take it right away) I did not even make microregulation (which I will definitely), silent and sharp, if it closes 1 or 2 stop at all focal points. Compared with a Sony 70 / 300G (which I did not like but maybe my defective) and with a SP70 / 300USD Tamron (very good if closed at f8), a Sigma 170-500 (sold immediately) .RAGGED ON 21- 09-2017: rnMicroregolato to +5 I would say it is perfect, great for birdlife as well. Not even too heavy for hand photo of flying birds. I use it to F11 and ISO1600, perfect for SONY, when you turn on the machine with the lens mounted, activates the lens stabilizer (that of the machine must be activated), not before it does not work properly in combination with the internal one to the car body.rn
Pros:Price, sharpness at all focal lengths, (intermediate diaphragms) good stabilizer, fast focusing, (with good lighting conditions) good construction.
Cons:weight,
Opinion:Excellent price-quality ratio, a amateur photographer I do not regret an original in my case Sony 70-400.rnComunque to get the most, given the weight need a good tripod. Too bad you can not remove the bracket without removing the lens from the camera. You hear that the Sigma often have defects in construction, I have recently purchased two Sigma lenses. 10-20 f3.5 and 120-400rne veramento are very satisfied of the two lenses.
Cons:find negativity is really hard, having to just look for: lack of weather sealing.
Opinion:Taken mainly for sports use. After much research of data and testing, I preferred the same money to buy the new sigma that Pompone Canon used. After some months of use I am very pleased with the performance, and his ring in operation and not to pump much more comfortable for my taste. In some sports outdoors it is a much more suitable than the 70-200 lens, giving the possibility of a greater choice of shots and allowing you to take home a little more interesting shots.
Opinion:Excellent value for money. I can say that can give a lot of satisfaction in nature photos. In sports use it behaves very well. The focus is lightning fast, very good sharpness even at 400. The weight is felt but it is manageable, stable support is preferable in case of long stalking.
Pros:Surely primarily qualitàprezzo then speed focus and strength
Cons:Weight, (but I think cmq on average with other paintings by a certain focal)
Opinion:L I used three years ago and I must say that gives me a lot of satisfaction in nature photos! Despite being stabilized x shoot always use a tripod x sharper images more possible! Council a protective neoprene x greater grip and safety ... I can not make comparisons with other paintings because I only used this, but I recommend it to those who want pretty pictures for a good price !!!
Pros:Cost, focal length, AF speed, stabilizzatore.rn
Cons:Painting delicate, zoom ring down with respect to ground, there is no clutch to zoom, then vertically shortens.
Opinion:Bought as used again for the right price, the positive opinion in globalità.rnBuono lens stabilizer, comes up to three stops, sharpness usabilissima at maximum focal length of 12 mp aps-c closing two stops, at room temperature a fast and fur morbido.rnAutofocus precise, awkward zooming rotating direction, but there is abitua.rnIl weight is felt, but it is still usable freehand, in good luce.rnIn shadows or cloudy preferable tripod, using improves even a little bit nitidezza.rnOttimo purchase for general wildlife and birdlife if you can get close, it has the performance of a drive, but not the cost of acquisto.rnPreferito compared to 150-500 brother to the sharpness similar, but its lower weight, the big brother is almost relegated to use in the shed and began to be unwieldy freehand.
Pros:Build quality and image, price / quality ratio, stabilizer
Cons:Weight and manageability
Opinion:I have this lens for 2 years and use it often because I like the prospect of paintings spinti.Poco after the purchase has failed to focus, but thanks to the excellent service in a few days, thanks to the guarantee I have recovered the lens fixed and now goes to the grande.Vorrei use a bonus multiplier 1.4 even if I lose the 'AF, is there anyone who has ultilizzato?
Pros:Quick to focus, sharpness, quiet, robust, value for money
Cons:Too heavy sometimes needs support, monopod or tripod, bracket trepiende very annoying
Opinion:I just bought this lens and I'm learning to use it is my first zoom of a certain quality, it is very fast in focus, the sharpness is very good. For excessive weight freehand I found a little difficult, because after a while you do get a wrist much. However, it is a great lens.

Pros:robustness, maf fast, value for money, motor hsm
Cons:tripod bracket sometimes annoying, over 200 mm. needs a support or really stable tripod, stabilizer
Opinion:I have recently purchased the above objective used, so I have not had to try to find everything thoroughly. From what little I could see I was impressed both as sharp as either color rendition. The only flaws that I have pointed out, are the tripod bracket which is sometimes annoying shooting freehand and stabilizer that when compared with that of the Tamron 70-300 I find it somewhat lower, namely the stabilizer tamron is really impressive as a Once focused, the live image freezes, something I can not say the sigmoid.
Opinion:After having struggled for weeks I realized that the sharpness and moved to the maximum extent depended only on the stability of supporto.E 'advisable to use the live view. At 120 and 200 mm with a 7D files are almost identical to those of the Canon 70-200 f/4.Possibilità use freehand up to 200-250 mm if you do not suffer from Parkinson's.
Cons:Stabilizer (such as noise) - sharpness - heavier - ring is not removable without removing the lens from the body - lens of reasonable quality
Opinion:I got this Sigma 120-400mm OS just for fun but it has proven extremely attractive to the focal length, the speed of the focus and the presence of stabilization. A tele like that proposed less than 700 € new is great, of course, is lower than other competitors, slightly lower than the 150-500 brother as quality and much lower than the Canon 100-400. For sports and nature photography is ideal for an amateur photographer, the extreme excursion allows you to shoot a bit everything, stopped down to f / 8 is very pleasant (at TA is unobtrusive, is good at f/5.6) and dual image stabilization helps a lot , the latter (perhaps in my case) very noisy. I do not understand why do the tripod ring so you will not be able to remove without removing the lens, really uncomfortable because in some situations bother ring, lens hood is plasticky and decent quality (like most of the sigma lens hood) . My copy (thank God) does not suffer from any problema of f / b focus. For those who want to try for the first time to the wildlife and sports photography is the ideal lens.
Opinion:The Sigma 120-400 was my first big lens, I bought a used two years ago and with this view I approached the sports and nature photography. I was able to exploit it in various outdoor events and in the presence of good light is good to close the aperture to f / 8 to gain sharpness, also thanks to the stabilizer can use his free hand. Do not recommend to take the Sit for a whole day or at the end of the neck and shoulders scricchioleranno! The focus is then another of his strength, the ultrasonic system allows you to fit the subject well, even if it moves quickly (es.auto racing). Also in sport is the most useful focal range so as to frame the subject at its best! In the natural I was companion for several shots, and unfortunately, I have complained several times a poor quality TA, especially if accompanied by grazing light that does not illuminate the subject in full! For the record, reporting that after 6-7 months of use I started to notice a lack of focus (front-focus to be precise) which manifested itself first at low mm. (120-200 approximately) and then become intollerabie the maximum excursion (400mm.) from there I took it to the Service from Sigma (Milan) and have settled within twenty days. Since then, the quality, in my opinion, it is a bit 'down, but maybe it was just my idea! I sold it only because I preferred him to the 400L in the lighter, with a MAF instant accompany as silent and a top.
Opinion:Excellent value for money. Now, I do not know how to work his rival, but I must say that in 'use sports which I' ve dedicated behaves very well: Focus lightning, very good sharpness, even when out of 400. Tried a few portraits and here he does his duty, giving interesting bokeh effects.
