Sigma 50-150 f2.8 APO/II HSM Review + Sample Photos

Thanks for making this video, I have been looking for a lens that will be cheaper and would almost produce the same result as a 70-20mm f2.8 as I am on canon apsc body. I got the Sigma
50-150mm f2.8 first version on ebay recently, but needed a review like this.

I have both, the 50-150 f2.8 apo Hsm II and the 50-100 f1.8 but prefer the earlier because of size and weight, the 1.8 is sharper but by f3.5 the sharpness is negligible and the extra 50mm reach comes in handy

Is there are same 50-150 or simmilar lens full frame ?

Does this lena work in a nikon d3400 to autofocus?

Thanks for this video, it addresses exactly what I was looking for; differences between 1st, 2nd and final version.. Might actually go ahead and get the first version I'm eyeing right now :)

Is it sharp at 2.8? Or just at f4

Thank you for such a beautiful review

Great review.
I am interested in this lens mainly for video.
Can you tell me, how is the manual focus on this lens?
Can you do smooth focus pulls like in a film? like an old manual lens
Without any jumpyness

Can this lense be used for low light sports photography like ice hockey. I'm using a Nikon d5300.

i have this lens for two years now. image quality is really nice and images comes out super sharp, but there is downsides to consider.
since its old Sigma, you may occour problems with newer nikon cameras(from d5300 and up).
and i had d5300 when got this lens. autofocus didnt worked :/, i had to send this lens to sigma germany to have it updated and calibrated(process that new sigma lens can be done by yourself with dock station).
after i got lens back autofocus did work, but some instabilities occoured for me, some focus hunding and sudden going out of focus. might be just bad update since i didnt send camera with lens to be paired(in sigma they used their nikon camera with same software to calibrate and testlens on). now with d7100 this lens autofocus works, but sometimes lot of front focus appears. something isnt right with my lens, appears to focus really nice on auto focus area.

Thank you for such a beautiful review (2)

I'm looking for a zoom lens for indoor volleyball with my Nikon D7500 APSC camera. This lens would be the perfect zoom range for me. Just wondering how it performs for action in low light. Will it focus fast?

Is this camera have auto focus?
Auto Focus On D5200?

three years later and very helpful

is it still sharp at 2.8? I will be pairing it with a d3500 body

Как он ведет себя без стабилизации ?

Got a MkII for my Sony A68/A58 a couple of months ago and so pleased with it. Although I have an A99 as well, I tend to use this for wider lenses and primes. As I get older, I am cutting down on the heavy lenses. Mine cost £199 from a reputable camera shop.

how much is an F4 400 full frame? well .... add a teleconverter to this ( mine $200 second hand Sigma) and Bingo, you save BIG money as in 1-2 thousand dollars

wish I knew about this lease before, its so good for the R7
