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.
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 Zoom lens counterpart. The Sigma 70-200mm f/2. almost eight 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), I actually was not able to completely fill the framework for the 70mm and 85mm ISO 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 – We could not focus from a far enough distance to fit the test chart in the frame. Would I go for the Canon? I have purchased 2 copies of this lens. Second, there is the risk of a problem that results in the lens and body manufacturers pointing blame at each other. AF routines, there is always the possibility that the new body might not support an older 3rd party 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 size 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 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 periods of time. I decided to take another route when the second lens showed a similar problem – We returned the lens to Sigma for guarantee service twice in attempt to resolve the problems I’m having with it.
This keeps the lens closer to the tripod mind for a lower center of balance and keeps the overall lens size smaller – but it yields less clearance for fingers. Flare is not well managed in the higher central length range. CA is well managed. 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 recognized the trip was a perfect opportunity to try 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 Indicate II and the EOS 5D were tops at self-metering. The EOS-1D Tag II is an action or sports 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 associate. Nevertheless , Sigma USA’s 4-year guarantee is much better than Canon’s standard 1 year warranty. Canon’s similar lenses perform almost identically in this regard.
Right now there are more similarities between these two lenses than there are differences. You should 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 prior 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 had been fast, continuous shooting with great results that pleased the Metrosource photo editor.
