Upgraded from 70-200f4L to Sigma 2.8

well I finally did the change. Sold the L and got the sigma. I have been putting it off over and over because my f4L was just such a steller performer and was razor sharp wide open. I finally broke down and got the Sigma 70-200 2.8 DG
Hopefully it will be here by Wed.

I got it off FM for a very very good price. The guy sent me pics of it and its mint and he sent me wide open pics and they look pretty sharp for wide open and looks to be a very nice lens.
Now just waiting till wed is gonna kill me.
I put my L off to a good goodbye. went to the zoo today and shot 268 shots
Was a great lens

i would have kept the 20-200L... sounds like a sweet focal length

congrats, i am sure that you will love the sigma

ohhhh

05Xrunner,

Congrats on the new lens. Did you get the new Macro version or just the DG one?

its just the DG one...I got it for $670 I couldnt pass up the deal to wanna go for the macro version.

That's a good price. Post some shots when you got it.

Mine non-DG is packed and ready to send to Sigma to fix the EXIF mis-reported issue at 200mm. It reports as 456mm. Hopefully it's just a simple firmware flash.

Meanwhile I'll use my 200/2.8

well from everything the guy tells me about it seems that its a great copy of the lens...So i cant wait to get it
