I would buy this lens again and again

"Just bought this lens, while it is a bit heavy it was a must have for myself and my wife. A little slow to focus, but for Nature and Landscape shots it is top of the line. I was looking for the Canon 100-400mm, but was more than glad to have found the Sigma first and with the money saved I'm still looking for other camera equipment...." Read Full Review »

"If you've been drooling over the Nikon VR zooms but can't justify spending the money, STOP. Look at the Sigma OS 120-400 then buy it. This lens renders incredible images that easily rival that of my Nikon branded gear. The HSM auto-focus is quick and very quiet! It's only flaw is weight but alth …"  Read Full Review »

"Great lens. Beats existing Nikon 80-400. I hear Nikon is producing a new version of theirs soon so this may not hold up. Faster focus, better VR, less CA -- with my D700 anyway. Have shot with it a couple of weeks and see no immediate negatives -- except weight. Won't autofocus w/1.4 tele converter …"  Read Full Review »

I have bought and sold many telephoto lens including:

2) Nikon 80-400mm AF VR

3) Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF-S VR



70-200mm is not enough reach for me and adding a TC2 defeats the purpose of fast-AF and sharpness. 80-4 …"  Read Full Review »
