I appreciate the opportunity to share my review of the Sigma DG APO 70-200mm f/2.8 EX HSM camera lens. As an enthusiast photographer with years of experience, I prefer vintage photo lenses, but this newer OS version of the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 is impressive.

Positives:
– Durable build quality: The lens has a solid construction and feels sturdy in hand. I had the previous generation of this lens, and it lasted me over 15 years, so I trust that this newer version will be equally robust.
– Versatile shooting capability: The f/2.8 aperture allows for shooting in low light conditions and achieving a shallow depth of field. The 70-200mm focal length range is ideal for portraits, sports, and wildlife photography.
– Image quality: The lens produces sharp images with beautiful bokeh. The optical stabilization is a great addition and helps to reduce camera shake.

Negatives:
– Heavy: The lens is quite heavy, which can be a challenge for extended periods of handheld shooting. This can be mitigated by using a tripod or monopod.
– Price: This lens is an investment and has a higher price point than some other offerings. However, considering its durability and image quality it is worth the investment.

Conclusion:
Overall, I am pleased with the Sigma DG APO 70-200mm f/2.8 EX HSM camera lens. Its solid construction, versatile capability, and image quality make it an excellent choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. While it is a bit heavy and has a higher price point, the investment is worth it for those who demand high-quality results and long-term durability.
