Wow what a nice lens I love it. I don't know what it is but this lens seems to pop. When i bought it I was concerned because I have heard it's like the Canon version. But no way this lens is better than the Canon version I owned. I can highly recommend

Very nice lens sharp, VR, fairly fast not a barn burner but good enough for me. Light weight for a big lens the more I use it the more I like
|
|
Cons:
|
Wish it had the newer version of the VR
|
|
|
I am very pleased with this lens I have been getting some great shots with it. I have owned the Canon version of this lens and I get a lot more keepers with the 80-400.

I was a little nervous about getting this lens as I have had some bad luck with Sigma's and some of the reviews in here. But I wanted a wide at least 1.8 and I must said I have been more than happy with this lens. For the money it's hard to beat.

What an awesome lens I have owned many Canon 70-200's and this one is just as good if not better than some I have owned. This lens is tack sharp and I saved a bundle of money to get the same quality as canon

All I can say is wow, I have read so much about this lens and how good it is. This lens blew me away the first time I used it in a dimly lit school gym. Cranked up my 20D to 1600 and got the best shots ever in these conditions

Fast AF, SUPER sharp, IS, fairly inexpensive for such a great lens. Love the white, very well built and love the built in hood. Best of all it works great with the Canon 1.4 II still sharp as a tack with great color and contrast.

Cons:

Non except it is a little noisy but we all know that

I just bought this lens about a month and a half ago and of all my L lenses I have owned it is the best. That includes my 70-200 f/2.8 and the 100-400 IS I sold awhile back. I would highly recommend this lens
