Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM

Sigma's 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM is the lens to get if a 70-200mm f/2.8 just isn't long enough, but you'll need a strong back to lug it.

Wide f/2.8 aperture throughout zoom range. Impressive telephoto reach. Very sharp. Minimal distortion. Excellent build quality. Compatible with USB dock.

Expensive. Very large and heavy. Huge front element increases filter costs.

Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports Lens Review

The Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports Lens is a physically beautiful lens that delivers also-beautiful image quality even with a wide open aperture. Remarkable is that this lens has the widest max aperture available in any 300mm lens (f/2.8), but...

Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Lens

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. This lens has action-sports written all over it. Perhaps more than from...

Sports photography is the primary market for the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM Lens, but there are other good uses for it. On a full frame body, compressed portraits are one. On a 1.6x body or with extenders, wildlife is another. Basically, any...

Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S Review

As with other Sigma lenses that we've recently reduced, the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM S once again offers a unique and importantly high-quality alternative to similar lenses from Canon and Nikon. Neither of those companies have such a fast...

Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports Review

The Sigma 120-300mm ƒ/2.8 DG OS HSM Sports lens is a fantastic piece of glass that features professional-level image quality, build quality and features at a price point that, at least at the time of this review, are not matched by any other competing...

Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM APO Review

Sigma has produced a nice telephoto zoom here, and the inclusion of optical image stabilization will be a welcome upgrade from its previous offerings in the similar range. This stabilization is necessary, as good image sharpness in the telephoto range...

Sigma 120-300mm ‘Sports’ lens review: slow focus, impressive range

The newest lens from Sigma marks the start of the company's "Sports" line of lenses. This is the Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Lens available for Canon, N

If you’re looking for a diverse zoom telephoto lens that takes sharp images with a range up to 300mm, the Sigma f/2.8 DG OS HSM is for you. But ironically I wouldn’t recommend it for sports (out of the box), but rather for nature, landscape and...
