I use to have the Sigma 70-210 2.8 Manual Focus Nikon…that lens was tack sharp. I used on a Nikon d70 & that was excellent as far as image quality. The lens is alot heavier than the newer lens. I am trying find one just to keep but is hard. I should not have sold it!!

thanks!

thanks

@izleep Yes this lens has an autofocus motor inside so it will autofocus with the D5000 and D3000

@SuperMartijn1 it will work with a Sigma-branded teleconverter. I don’t think it will with a Nikon one.

how does it work with a convertor?
still good pictures

is this lens will auto focus for D5000? thanks

Those were shot actually shot with the D90 and believe it or not at ISO 800! The D90 is incredibly sensitive to light.

Also I envy you and your schools lighting. I had to shoot with my D2H at ISO 1600, f/2.8 and could only get 1/250 on my shutter. Looks like you can get over 1/500 on those basketball photos. What ISO value did you have?

I recently purchased the sigma from KEH and returned it 3 days after I got it. Now I have the nikon 80-200 AF-D and let me tell you there is a big difference in build and image quality. I would recomend saving up the extra $300 and go for the nikon. But I know some people just can’t pay that much (I hardly could) and if the sigma is in you price range it’s a great lens for around $550 used.

Check ebay for straps. Theres a wide selection and I’m sure you’ll find what you need. I got mine from Ritz Camera which unfortunately is out of business now

hey, nice review.
this review made me buy this lens.
i have a question, where u buy the neck strap white that click clacks sorry for my bad english.
