Pros: Great build quality. Feature packed and adjustable on the Sigma dock. Excellent color rendition, bokeh and tack sharp! Very fast AF and works seemlessly with Sigma 1401tc. I can see no loss of sharpness and hardly loss of AF speed with TC connected. I love my Sigma 500mm F4 Sport but the 70-200mm F2.8 is maybe the best Sigma lens(of many) I have owned.
Cons: Possiblty weight but only for those who shoot for many hours hand held doing something like portrait/wedding photography.
Opinion: No complaints. Great lens! Build quality seems to be bullet proof. Price is very competative compared to Nikon/Canon equivalent. The latest Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 is also very good but the Sigma is highly recommended especially if you have already invested in Sigma systems such as the dock or teleconverters. In Australia if you register directly with the importer there is a 2 year warranty.

Cons:At F2.8 unusable for astronomical photography and photography in general, everything improves to F 5.6.
Opinion:I have the lens in question for about a year, I tried it on Canon 1300D finding it bad as a construction, at F 2.8 unusable with deformations to the edges and a crazy vignetteI talked to the assistance Mamiya Trading who told me that it is built so and can not replace me. Here's the answer: Good morning Mr. Ribaudo Sigma after seeing the images wrote that if there is a bright object in the center of the frame and being the optics is old-fashioned, both things can cause the situation you encountered. DELETED THIS COMMENT WAS FOR THE HSM VERSION.
Pros:Sharpness Construction Bracket Interchangeable Focus button.
Cons:Thread too long for filters.
Opinion:I think it's a slow delay for the market. I took it directly from Sigma and calibrated it from the AD Service center on my Nikon D850 machine. Calibration in manual form and in digital form, with the new machine, for these objectives so there are no mistakes as often happens with the Dock usb. The speed of focus varies with varying in light, I can only say that it is almost perfect. Lens that reflects almost fixed quality like my fantastic 85 or 105 art, both as cutting and blurring, detail and sharpness the same, if not with a top wire on f11 work. The maximum sharpness and between 5.6 and 9 with a better quality of 5-9 % than the acclaimed Tamron 70 200 G2, the detail if even little is exceeded. It behaves perfectly with the multiplier 1401 while for 2001 it becomes slow and wrong fire, but we always talk about light situations like blue time. Let's see when it comes to Sony
Opinion:I was torn between the Nikon and this Sigma but reading around the synthesis was "a hair better the Nikon". Weight aside (in Nikon's favor), that hair was worth about 1000 dollars and in my opinion it wasn't worth it. Used on the D810 and D750 did not require adjustments, AF fast, effective stabilizer, sharp already at f/2.8 but if you close to f/3.2 it is spectacular with a great bokeh. Its optimal terrain is f/3.2 with focal from 100mm up to just under 200mm, personally I use it for portraiture and dog photography and even during fast actions does not disappoint at all.
Pros:Build quality, sharpness to all focal points, always precise and fast autofocus, effective stabilizer, f:2,8, ability to customize some features
Cons:Weight
Opinion:I have been using it for about 6 months and I can only confirm the more than positive rating of previous reviews. I think it expresses the best in the sports and action photo: with a precise and very fast autofocus combined with a nikon d500 does not miss a beat. I also use it with the 1.4 duplicator that leads me to a f:4 diaphragm with a focal range of 98-280, which on a dx sensor means having a 150-420 (about) and it seems to me not small!. Good stabilizer. I didn't have any problem calibrating the focus. Good sharpness already at full opening. Unfortunately the only mole the weight, about 1.8 kg., which combined with the weight of the body machine, is felt: the use of the monopod is very useful.
