Stopped down it’s pretty sharp. Wide open it’s ok. Contrast and color is ok too, just not wonderful. Focus is fast and precise. Ultimately, I decided to return the lens.

The only thing about this is there is like the tiny little bit of wiggle in the connection. Other than that this has become a primary lens.

Lens works very well for my needs. Could not justify Canon lens, so this was the logical alternative.

I purchased this lens after reading all of the great reviews and weighing logically the price difference between the nikon 70-200 VR. Picked it up at the southeastern camera only to be disappointed 12 days later. The AF stopped working and it had to be shipped to sigma for repair. I had no time to wait for sigma so I ended up sacrificing the f2.8 and going for the nikon 80-400 VR. I shoot aerials and was planning on putting a teleconverter on the sigma to get me to 400mm at 5.6 anyways. I like the 80-400, except for the minimum distance of focus. I also miss f2.8. But oh well. I am saving money for the Nikon 70-200 VR at the moment.
