SIGMA 70-200 2.8 II REVIEW - FroKnowsPhoto
SIGMA was kind enough to send me out their 70-200 2.8 II a few weeks back for me to review. I have been recommending this SIGMA lens for quite sometime as it is a great value at $800 and I have heard good things about image quality. Now it is time for me to find out for myself weather this lens I have been recommending lives up to the Fro stamp of approval. You may be surprised what my findings and final outcome are.
Let’s first look at the build quality of this lens. The first thing you notice is that the lens feels very smooth in your hands. It has some nice weight to it like any other 70-200 2.8 pro lens would. There are no switches on the lens itself and only two rings, a zoom and a focus ring. It is interesting that there are no switches to take it from Auto to Manual like you will find on all the Nikon Models. The Lens comes with a soft case that I personally would not use as this lens went right into my ThinkTank Retrospective 20. There is also a tri-pod collar which I took right off as that is something that I would only use on a 300 2.8 or larger lens. Sigma supplies you with a nice flower shaped lens hood which is stored bayonet style when not in use.
