    It seems that the pigeon in the hands of the girl sooo regretted that he was born into the world. The first backlit photo of the leaf is a bomb.

    At one time, this sigma or canon 2.8 was faced with a choice without a stub. I took the second one, and I have never regretted it. Sigma did not give such confidence that it is possible with it both into water and into fire ...

      Unfortunately, with "Canon" 2,8 without a stub it is impossible to fire and water - dust and moisture protection - no.

    At one time, rushed between the purchase of Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED MKIII and this Sigm-oh. As a result, he took Nikkor and still did not regret it at all, because the picture on Nikkor rings with a sharpness of 2.8, and the colors are pretty close to reality, and the boke is old) And the stub, as it turned out, is basically not needed, at 12 megapixels on my D300s often I take a photo shoot at 1/200 in the evening at sunset at a focal length of 200 mm, for insurance I do 3 frames each, and almost always 3 out of 3 are sharp without stirring. In general, when the lens weighs 1.4 kg and the body is 1 kg, then in the presence of strong and straight arms, shake is unlikely. Therefore, on VR from Sig, we wouldn’t look too much when choosing))) but VR from Nikkor is a completely different song.

        I'm on D800 70-200іі without stub smear and 2 stops higher. Be that as it may, the stub saves, the thing is useful, and you can remove it from your hand for 1/30 sec at 150-200 focus, if the object is static

    I wish you all good health! In one of the reviews for the Nikon D750 camera I read that in order to remove a competitor in optics, in the person of Sigma, Nikon made it so that this camera model is not “friendly” with Sigma lenses. When shooting video, or just LiveView, it does not work autofocus. I have a Sigma 70-200 and plan to switch to D750 in the near future. Tell me, please, is it true (about friendship and unfriendliness), is this a trend or an isolated case (or maybe even a duck)? Thank you in advance.

      Well, I think the range of 100-400mm is a slightly different position and you should not compare, but as for the comparison of 70-200 or 50-100 sigma per crop, here in the first case there is a stub and the possibility of using the FF (for the future) or aperture 1,8, 70 and convenient focal points for crop. To be honest, he himself made a choice and gained Tamron 200-7100, but lost it at the lower end, but gained a considerable margin into the distance, given that the weight is almost the same and this despite the fact that I have a crop of XNUMX.

    Knowing people to tell me more beautifully the Tamron 70-200 2.8 I can’t reach 70-200 2.8; I can’t reach 70-200 2.8. It’s useful for fun photo sessions.

    I choose between the new Sigma (from this article) and the used Nikkor 70-200mm f / 2.8G ED VR AF-S, which is already 4 years old. Same price.
    Can you tell me how obsolete the Nikon model will be better than the new Sigma? Or worse?

    Good day, Arkady! I select a fast lens 70-200 1: 2.8 for myself. As a rule, the budget dictates its own. I bow to Tamron 2017. On the site http://www.the-digital-picture.com when comparing lenses, I came across a Sigma 70-200mm f / 2.8 DG OS HSM sports lens. Very comfortable for the price. In principle, I did not consider sigma, but after familiarizing myself with (https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=1116&Camera=979&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=1393&CameraComp=979&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0) became thoughtful. The quality of the test photos seems to be comparable to the top ones from Nikon, or maybe even better. The truth is there for Canon. It is interesting to know your opinion on this optics. The review does not say anything about "sports", or it is the same thing with the lens given in the review. Thanks.
