SIGMA 70-210mm f/2.8 APO ZOOM LENS **CANON EOS**Click any image to see it full size
NOTE: The aperture diaphragm on this lens does not always fully-open to f/2.8. I have found that it is possible to work-around this issue by using Depth of Field Preview mode to manually click through the f/stops in order to 'free' the diaphragm, although your mileage may vary. This issue has no effect on picture quality as the camera will meter for the reduced light coming in through the lens and expose the shot accordingly.Shots taken at smaller apertures (ie. higher f/stop values) are unaffected and the aperture diaphragm is snappy when stopping-down the lens. This lens is an excellent aftermarket alternative to the vastly more expensive Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L. Boasting a constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range, this lens is perfect for sports and wildlife photography where the large aperture enables the use of faster shutter speeds / lower ISO while still maintaining correct exposure.The optical design of this lens incorporates 16 elements in 12 groups and features Super Low Dispersion (SLD) glass for increased resistance to chromatic aberrations. Additionally, the mechanical design of this lens means there are no moving parts externally... focusing and zooming is performed internally, so the physical length of the lens never changes.For some examples of what this lens is capable of, click HEREThis lens has been used professionally and its cosmetic condition is consistent with the rigors of professional use. However, the optics are flawless and completely free of any scratches, haze or fungus.I have personally shot a couple of rolls of film with this very lens and was very impressed with the results... lovely colors and sharpness.Comes complete with rear lens cap and Sigma hard case.
