Digital camera reviews of Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Another must have lens from Sigma
Summary: 4 Stars

Have had this lens for a couple of weeks now and had the opportunity to take several hundred shots with it. Like other EX series lenses, it is well built, solid, and has quality optics. Colors are excellent and auto-focusing is nearly silent and as sharp and accurate as any other lens I've used. This lens is a must-have for medium-range shots and is the perfect companion lens to the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 lenses. Keep in mind that it isn't going to perform any miracles, as it has the same limitations as any other lens, but offers an improvement over other lenses (like the Sigma 50-500mm and the Pentax 18-250mm) when shooting in the 70-200mm range. It is large and somewhat heavy but just at the limit where you can carry and shoot with it without additional support. I support the lens with my right hand when walking from shot to shot and with my left hand when shooting. Another plus is that both zoom and focusing are entirely internal, meaning that the lens retains its ergonomics and form factor no matter what your doing with it.

Summary of Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG HSM II Macro Zoom Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras

This large aperture thelephoto zoom lens has a minimum focusing distance of 100cm (39.4) and maximum magnification of 1:3.5. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and three ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), ensuring a quiet and high speed AF and full-time manual focusing capability. An adjustable and removable tripod collar is included as a standard component.
