Sigma 24 70 2.8 if ex dg hsm11/18/2023 ![]() One more focus anomaly - Canon's EOS Utility cannot make micro focus adjustments when attached to a Sigma is always willing to service their gear under warranty - I was much less pleased to receive my camera back with a VERY dirty sensor.įocus accuracy for slower-moving and stationary subjects is decent. The 120-300 and one of my bodies required a trip to Sigma service to be taught to play together nicely. The other big AF problem I had was that this lens severely front-focused at the wide end of the focal length range on two different Canon-calibrated bodies. This is generally a good thing and HSM in this implementation is very quiet, includes FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing, is rear-focusing, does not extend and the front element does not rotate.įocus speed even sounds deceptively fast because of its quietness. I missed a significant number of shots when tracking action in AI Servo mode (on a Canon 1-Series body) - all focused behind the direction of the action.ĪF is powered by HSM - Sigma's premier Hypersonic Motor. Unfortunately, the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Lens has a significant shortcoming that affects action sports photography - Autofocus can't keep up with action rapidly moving toward or away from the camera. With the 120-300mm zoom, track a player in horizontal or vertical orientation (as with a prime lens) AND zoom in/out as desired to get the proper framing withoutĪ resolution/image quality reducing cropping step during post-processing - A big advantage for this Sigma. Sigma 2x Teleconverter - but of course we lose the f/2.8 aperture with the combos. This additional-needed focal length can be had by adding a compatible Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter or a (full-frame body users will probably want more focal length for the larger field sports). ![]() ![]() The 120-300mm focal range covers most sports needs for 1.6x and 1.3x FOVCF body users The f/2.8 aperture is wide enough to shoot in low light - even indoors if the lighting is decent and ISO values are set high. Though useful for many other photography needs, the flexibility offered by a long focal length f/2.8 zoom lens for shooting sports is very attractive. Perhaps more than from any other Sigma lens, I was hoping for great things from this one. This lens has action-sports written all over it. The Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Lens is unique in it's capabilities - at this time, no other Canon-mount zoom lens can maintain an action-stopping f/2.8 aperture beyond 200mm. Note: The Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Lens has been replaced by the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Lens.
