Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Video Sample Tests

[BlueMediaGroup]

wow this looks amazing, what picture style did you shoot with?

[Bullshark1969]

BRAVO!! This video was awesome. I have this lens and i love it.

[MrRubbish2011]

I bought this lens for the Nikon mount as I had switched camps from Canon, it's a fantastic lens for the price that I paid for it. however, I tested this same lens on a Canon mount and it was nowhere near as good as the Nikon copy unfortunately. I highly recommend this lens but if you have the chance to test it before you buy it then I would suggest that you do so.

the quality of the video is superb! what picture style did you use?

[liezahari]

in Malaysia.sigma will cost me around RM3800 and tamron would be around 2800, nikkor a lil' bit expensive...around rm6000

I'm watching in 360p and thought I was watching a 720p video. Very good quality.

Question: How does the Sound of the OS compare to the very noticeable sound of canon's IS ?

In my country there is only a difference of $600 dollars between canon and sigma 70-200 2.8 both with IS/OS, would you stick with sigma or canon is worth the extra $600?

My priority of course is quality, but also stabilization and silence

[3puncte]

@Enlazador9 in my opinion sigma is more silent; canon is II is weather proof and has more contrast - if theese aspects are important for you than it's worth the extra money; for anything else i like the sigma.

[f1nndlay13]

Did you enhance the footage at all? During post/filters? If so, what did you use (program wise/filter wise)?

[3puncte]

@f1nndlay13 no post

[dimaswisnuwardono]

@3puncte no post?! wow i'm definitely saving for this! thanks for the sample test!

[MrRubbish2011]

@3puncte - looks amazing, well done.

[SincerelyAND]

@3puncte FUCKIN' INCREDIBLE CLARITY THEN. PROBABLY HAS A LOT TO DO WITH YOUR 5D MKII ALSO.

[ParengRoz]

thanks..keep posting.

[JuNCurryAhn]

@3puncte i believe all the orchestral shots were handheld right? Also did you manual focus those shots on the flowers? because i didn't notice a small bit of shake!

[ninjaboyteen]

HEY, is it worth buying this rather than the non OS version ??

[3puncte]

@ninjaboyteen yes

[ninjaboyteen]

@3puncte what body do u use it on ??

[crispycritterz]

Excellent video, but I'm going to have to yellow card you. Cute kitty shots and Schubert are not allowed... lol..... j/k

[JifferRiffic]

I can't tell you how loud Canon makes there IS system in all there lenses. Anyone who has a 5D or 7D body and has a canon lens on it while recording audio can tell you about "grrrr grrrr grrrr grrrr" sound. Its your image stabilizer. Anyways I'm looking at buying a new lens for sports photography any recommendations? maybe this one perhaps? looking for lots of feedback/

[alabader741]

nice !

[l31007]

Gorgeous video work. The lens appears to be tack sharp. Did you sharpen in post?

[3puncte]

@l31007 thanks! no post, straight from the camera

[l31007]

@3puncte Beautiful footage. I am seriously seriously considering getting one now, especially now that the price has dropped considerably. Thanks for the great vid!

[Vikingdescendent]

Well done!

[Skywalker875]

Is the OS worth the price?

[armandod2010]

I read a review that the os was a bit loud / noticeable , just wanted to know if that was true?

[3puncte]

@armandod2010 it doesn't seem loud to me; my canon 24-105 f4 IS is louder for example...

[armandod2010]

@3puncte very cool :) thanks for the response, the review was from amazon, still deciding >.< lol and funny how you snuck in kittens!

[w810ijunky]

excellent :)

[Spaeckli]

are these handheld shots?

I'm not sure if the OS is worth the extra 800 bucks

[3puncte]

@Spaeckli most of them are handheld, not all; the OS in my opinion is more usefull for photography than video.

[adrianvilcan]
