According to our camera lens expert
The Sigma 70-200 mm f / 2.8 EX DG OS HSM is a telephoto zoom lens suitable for single-lens reflex cameras with a full frame sensor. This lens makes it easy to capture flora and fauna. The image stabilization in the lens reduces vibrations, allowing you to shoot out of hand for longer periods of time. The internal focus ensures that the lens doesn't move while focusing. As a result, you don't need to reset the filters placed on the lens. The lens includes a silent and fast focusing motor that allows you to focus silently on a subject. This way, you can silently photograph birds without camera sounds scaring them off.

I debated for a long time between the SIGMA 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM and the CANON EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USMII. After reading a lot of reviews and comparisons, I suddenly came across a YOUTUBE video entitled "Sigma 70-200mm beats the Canon 70-200mm. This video was very enlightening and quickly gave me a definitive answer about the price/quality ratio of this 2 lenses It will be clear to everyone if you can save 1000 Euros for at least the same quality, that the choice is quickly made.As was also said in the video: "Sigma makes damn good lenses". Earlier I bought for my Canon EOS 60D also has a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS and this lens gives amazing results The only downside I could find in all my research on the SIGMA 70-200MM F/2.8 EX DG OS HSM is that some users complain that the housing is made of plastic, I don't think this is an immediate problem, at least not when the lens is treated with some reverence (which it certainly more than deserves). I've been using them for a few weeks now and worked extensively with them during my holiday in the south of France, about two weeks ago. The results do not lie... this is a very good lens, of course I am very satisfied with my purchase. I can recommend anyone who is faced with the same dilemma to opt for the Sigma and to spend the saved 1000 Euros usefully, possibly on other accessories or the like. As far as Coolblue's fast service is concerned, I can only agree with the many who have praised this before. Thank you Coolblue.

With this lens you can take good, sharp photos without having to go really close. So great for portraits. You should not be stuck on your model, feel free to take some distance so that there is less stress and the photo is more natural. The bokeh that this lens has at f/2.8 and f/4.0 is superb!
Other photographers with years of experience also find this lens wonderful.
Sigma is no longer just the little brother.
