I got my sigma 70-200 2.8 yesterday,second hand for around 500 $,the weather was really bad yesterday so I couldnt test it out,this are the photos taken 30 minutes ago,my very first shots with that kind of lens.
Looking forward to hear your opinion

Thanks I was curious, I bought the Sigma 70-200 mm 2.8 OS version a while ago and like you I got it used - and I've always been pretty happy with it. Looks like the non-os version stacks up pretty well optically.

Nice shot.

I absolutely love that lens. I've been shooting the same one since 08 or 09. It's been around the block so much the finish is coming off. The rear barrel was about to fall off and it finally got to the point that it wouldn't make contact internally to focus. I had to hold it together with gaffer tape. I just spent $160 with a local repair shop to get it fixed and I couldn't be happier.

I think you'll be very pleased with it the more you use it.

Brilliant capture mate! 70-200 always rocks! I use Canon one and always love it.
