 Was really excited to get the lens: March 13, 2010
3kids4me (USA)
Couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. Sigma is a good brand, but I got a 'lemon' :( It was soft at many different apertures; I just couldn't believe it. I took many pictures in many different lighting conditions, and all were quite soft. My current lens works great (the lens that came with the camera) and gives me very sharp results so I expected the same out of this lens.
Back to Amazon it goes :(
Quick focus, front AF issue March 12, 2010
D. Ly
This is a very fast focus fixed apperture lens. The only down side is the front focus issue at 70mm f2.8. I have to return the lens and go fort Tamron with better IQ
 Good 2.8 Lens if you know what the weaknesses are March 10, 2010
Thomas B. Wright (Woodstock, Maryland USA)
I use this lens on a Nikon D300S
Overall this is a good lens 7.5/10.
Pros:
*Excellent and accurate auto-focus
*Fast auto-focus (Not Nikon fast but 85% of it)
*Cost - good bang for the buck
*Sharp at f8+
*Build Quality is excellent
*Nice BOKAH
Cons:
*VERY soft at 2.8 - why buy a 2.8 if you can't shoot at 2.8
*Sharpness falls off at 200
*No OS on this version
*A little odd CA through the entire range
In summary, if you know what the weaknesses are you can shoot around them and get excellent results. Consider the Nikon 80-200 2.8 when buying this
WAIT BEFORE YOU BUY!! February 22, 2010

This is a great lens, but I would recommend waiting before purchasing it. I bought it two weeks ago, and Sigma just announced the new version with stabilization that allows for shooting 4 stops lower than possible without the stabilization. I'm not sure if the price will be the same, but if it is, it will be a steal at this price! now if I can only find someone who will buy the one I just purchased so I can upgrade to the stabilized version...

The lens is exactly as advertised, very good, a bit heavy, but very good. The company 47th Street Photo was late in delivery and could not or would not tell me the reason for a late delivery. I will not be ordering any further photographic equipment from them or Amazon again.
