Sigma took their time to release the lens, but the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS Sports is finally here (and, admittedly, it then took us a while to review it). It completes Sigma’s own interpretation of the “holy” trinity (14-24mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8) of pro-grade fast zoom lenses. Unlike the 2 other members, the 70-200mm f/2.8 is a designated “Sports” lens with, you guessed it, an optimized AF for action photography. At around $1400 USD / 1600EUR, it undercuts its biggest rival, the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II, by quite a margin, so let’s see whether it…
Fast 135mm lenses live a bit of a wallflower existence compared to their more popular 85mm f/1.4 cousins. For portrait photography, they require extra distance and some users don’t like the more compressed scene. However, yours truly is rather fond of this lens class. i.e. They can often also serve as a viable substitution for comparatively slower 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses. One of these lenses is the Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8 FE. It sells for around $700-800 USD give or take, which is about a third (!) of the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM. If it can deliver, it would be…
