| ownership: | I used to own this lens |
| compared to: | Sigma 70-300 APO DG |
| price paid: | missing |
| positive: | Sharp Cheap Good color Nice bokeh Built like a tank |
| negative: | CA and flare As heavy as a tank :) |
| comment: | Hard to believe this is such an old design...the results are outstanding. Very good color and the bokeh is very nice. The weight doesn't bother me because I am used to schlepping a a Tamron 200-500 around. I am finding that my images are of better quality than my recently departed Sigma, but the Sigma controlled flare and CA/purple fringing better. This will be a short termer for me until the new Sigma 70-200 2.8 is available, but I will enjoy every minute of its time in my bag. |
