APO 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG MACRO HSM for Pentax and Sony user reviews

    "I get right to the point. I bought this lens for my Nikon D700 and D300 and for the money I must recommend this lens. Bokeh is pretty good and the HSM is fantastically quiet. The lens does seem to hunt more than most for that perfect focus but for the money its great. Give this lens a lot of light and it will function like a 50mm F1.8, while in the dark it wants a little more time to get that perfect shot. Get this lens if you need to save some money and don't need to feed your ego with a top of the line Nikon lens. "
    "Stopped down it's pretty sharp. Wide open it's ok. Contrast and color is ok too, just not wonderful. Focus is fast and precise. Ultimately, I decided to return the lens. "
    "first product didnt work out but amazon refunded everything asap and i reorder and this time everything was excellent,great product,great price, great customer service "

    "I thought about going with a Nikon lens, but after looking at the features and prices, I thought this would be a better option. So far, I'm extremely pleased with it. It's truly sharp, even at 2.8. Focusing is fast and quiet on my D200. I could not be more happy with it. The accessories that came with it -- lens hood and soft case -- are nice touches, too.
And, in this price range, I also appreciate the fact that the focal range starts at 70mm -- and the macro feature works quite well at this range, too. "

    "I was worried when I bouught this lens because I had only tried the Tamron copy, but my only experience with non-Nikon is with Sigma. I LOVE this lens. I got it for shooting sporting events for my university newspaper, and have had no problems in the month that I've had it. It autofocuses faster than the Tamron. A monopod isn't necessary because it's such a fast lens. Even at night with stadium lighting, the AF has little trouble.

The best thing I've heard for people wanting to shoot sports since buying this "cheap copy" lens came from a professional on the sidelines the firtst time I used my new lens. He said to my question about the Nikon 70-200mm, "Honestly, I turn the VR off when I'm not doing still portrait shots because it gets out of whack when I start following a moving person."

Made me feel VERY content with my decision to buy the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 "
