Wonderful lens! January 20, 2008

I'm a huge fan of my Sigma 70-200 2.8. I do a lot of indoor sports photography and can get some really crisp pictures with this lens. The only thing is that the lens that I was sent by amazon is different from the one pictured here. It did not have an automatic/manual switch on the lens, which I thought would be a problem with my D40, but DOES still work with my D40- both manual and automatic.br /br /I highly recommend this lens. It's cheaper than the alternatives and gets the job done.
Great Lens for the Price!! May 13, 2007

I recently just picked up this lens for myself. I have to say this is one of the best lenses I have used. The auto-focus is fast and silent. It doens't hunt, even when you zoom straight to 200mm. I also love that the minimum focusing distance is 3 feet. My dad has an older version of this lens for the Minolta mount and he is envious of the focusing distance.br /br /I will say that at 200mm at f/2.8, there is a touch of softness, but it's not objectionable for my taste. I would recommend trying this lens if you can to make sure you would be willing to deal with the softness. Otherwise at all other focal lengths, it is tack sharp!br /br /This lens is also heavy at 3 pounds. It can get tiring to hold it all day long, so I would recommend a monopod for support. Overall, I really love this lens and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good telephoto lens.
