Sure, but the sizeable price difference makes the Sigma the right choice for some. If you can get a good copy of this lens, it is definitely worth the cost – which is significantly less than the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2. 8 L USM Lens counterpart. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2.

If you can get a good copy of this lens, it is definitely worth the price – which is significantly less than the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2. 8 L USM Lens counterpart. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2. 8 EX DG HSM Lens turned in good real world performance. With the TCs, Sharpness and contrast show a decrease at wider apertures, but performance is good when stopped down one or two stops. Both one-shot and AI Servo autofocus accuracy are extremely good. Color and contrast are also comparable to the Canon 70-200 Ls – very good. The Sigma 70-200 ring is notable for several features.
Since the Sigma 70-200 DG has a very small magnification value (especially at the widest focal lengths), We were unable to completely fill the body for the 70mm and 85mm INTERNATIONALE ORGANISATION FÜR STANDARDISIERUNG test chart photos. I shot the test photos from the closest local focus distance possible and cropped them from the standard locations. A 12mm Extension Tube (the smallest I have) was too much extension – I could not focus from a much enough distance to fit the test chart in the frame. Would I actually rather have the Canon? I have purchased 2 copies of this lens. Second, there is the risk of the problem that results in the lens and body manufacturers pointing blame at each other. AF routines, there is always the likelihood that a new body might not support an older third party zoom lens.
Fortunately, the tripod ring is easily removable and does not require the lens to be removed from the camera body to do so. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2. 8 EX DG HSM Lens contains a very popular and functional focal duration range in a very well built, well-featured and well-performing package. The list of uses for a fast 70-200mm lens are long. Sometimes a zoom lens can be rechipped to be made compatible, sometimes not. This is a mid-weight and mid-size lens that can be carried for reasonably long intervals of time. I decided to take another route when the second lens showed a similar problem – I returned the lens to Sigma for warranty service twice in attempt to resolve the problems I’m having with it.
This keeps the lens closer to the tripod head for a lower center of balance and keeps the overall lens size smaller – but it yields less clearance for fingers. Flare is not well controlled in the higher central length range. CA is well controlled. Canon EOS-1DS / Rebel T6 Announced! Canon Europe has officially announced the new EOS Rebel T6 DSLR camera (Amazon/B&H Photo/Adorama), T6/ 1300D is a new entry-level EOS. While packing for a working vacation in Brazil, I noticed the trip was a perfect opportunity to check out Canon�s newest camera technology.
I had heard that the Canon EOS-1DS is the world�s smallest and lightest full-frame digital SLR camera. I certainly don�t recommend throwing away your meter, but both the EOS-1D Mark II and the EOS 5D were tops at self-metering. The EOS-1D Mark II is an action or sports activities photographer�s dream. At 200mm, bright lamps and the sun need to be far out of the picture to avoid contrast-robbing flare. The sun was in and out all day, which made metering time-consuming without an assistant. Nevertheless , Sigma USA’s 4-year warranty is much better than Canon’s standard 1 year guarantee. Canon’s similar lenses perform almost in the same way in this regard.
There are more similarities between both of these lens than there are differences. You need to know that there are some potential issues with third party lenses. Zoom and manual focus rings are nicely sized and smooth. Pentax and Minolta mounts are available in a non-HSM model. DIGIC 4 processor found in the previous model. I returned the first one to the retailer because it front-focused significantly. One of the images from this session (below, right) was selected by Passport�s editor for their April issue. It was fast, continuous shooting with great results that pleased the Metrosource picture editor.
