Sigma Tele Zoom Tests? - Guest - 05-08-2011 The has been a lot of great work done with Canon and Tamron Tele lenses that I appreciate. Is there anything in the queue for Sigma? I can't afford the new Canon 70-200 II, but the Sigma looks promising. I would love to see reviews on the following ranked by preference: 1. Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS HSM 2. Sigma 70-200/2.8 II 3. Sigma 50-500 OS HSM 4. Sigma 150-500 OS HSM Thanks for the hard work Klaus and Markus. Sigma Tele Zoom Tests? - mst - 05-08-2011 [quote name='jitteringjr' timestamp='1304875952' post='8131'] 1. Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS HSM[/quote] Yes. However, got the review sample back from Sigma Service just yesterday, but will have to send it in once more (for the 4th time!) tomorrow.

[/quote] Have you unveiled to them what the purpose of the lens sample will be? ... I mean I cannot really imagine they take the same lens in 4 times without telling the customer that now really everything is within factory specifications.

[/quote] Not directly, but I have with earlier lenses, so they may have me "on file" anyway already. However, I definitely will write a rather detailed mail tomorrow morning ... instead of sending in the lens directly. I decided that it's now their turn to cover the shipping fees (I have done so three times now). -- Markus Sigma Tele Zoom Tests? - Typewriter - 05-09-2011 Hi, due to the fact that there are multiple 70-200mm tests available, it would be interesting to read much more about other telezoom lenses and how they perform on fullframe cameras. Concerning Sigma lenses i`m very interested in the Sigma 100-300mm f4. Is there any fullframe review planned for this lens?

[/quote] Which hopefully means it will be replaced with an OS version, soon. -- Markus Sigma Tele Zoom Tests? - Guest - 05-09-2011 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1304937189' post='8174'] Which hopefully means it will be replaced with an OS version, soon. -- Markus [/quote] If they could keep the price raise over the old version to 150% or less, I would be tempted. If they do release that, please review it as soon as you can get your hands on one. |
