The Canon and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lenses each retail between $1300 and $1400, so which one is right for you? The Canon offers slightly better durability and image quality, but the Sigma offers optical image stabilization (which is only available on Canon’s $1800 equivalent lens).
I did a few test and explained my opinions on the comparison. Regardless of which lens you choose, a good reliable and fast 70-200mm lens is an essential part of any photographer/videographer’s gear kit.

Do you have any lenses you love and/or recommend?

@Only_Fools_and_Audits 5 лет назад

The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II - I paid £215 for a mint secondhand one and it far exceeds anything Canon can offer for the money, build quality and optical performance. The only downside is the vignetting that using it on a full-frame body produces wider than 13mm.

@jlsc4125 5 лет назад

I really have to disagree with your evaluation of the pictures. To me the sigma was far better. I had the nikon and sigma, I sold the Nikon and have never looked back. I absolutely love the color rendition and optical quality of the sigma.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

The Sigma is terrific, especially with the stabilization. It’s just that, for me, Canon is overall a bit better (build quality, AF speed, ability to consistently get good results). The Sigma is an OUTSTANDING lens, especially for the price. In fact, I recently purchased the Sigma 24 1.4, and can’t believe how sharp it is. It’s quickly becoming my favorite lens!

@martinmuldoon603 Год назад

I would say the sigma has superior image quality from those photos in this review, yes if you have a canon camera maybe go with canon L, other bodies sigma looks great

@PentaYOOO 5 лет назад

Gotta say, my Sigma 70-200 2.8 held up great in the rain. Shot a car race, and it started to rain on and off. Although it was covered, it still got wet and worked like a champ.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

Nice! I’ve only used it in light rain while photographing football games, but it has always held up. I’ve used the Canon is pretty extreme weather, so it’s be awesome if then Sigma has the same durability for a lower price.

@PentaYOOO 5 лет назад

@@tombuck I haven't used it in harder conditions yet, but certainly will. But the fact that it held up in the rain, gave me confidence that it can hold up to the elements.

@limelightmuskoka7237 4 года назад

Agree with many comments below that the Sigma colour rendition is far superior. Optical Stabilization is huge factor hard to dismiss so easily, which only Sigma employs. Sigma has 22 Elements in 17 Groups compared to Canons 18 Elements in 15 Groups. Sigma has 9 rounded blades vs. Canon's 8 rounded blades. The deal breaker is Canon's front facing lens element rotates making it near impossible to use a Circular Polarizer or Grad ND.

@tombuck 4 года назад

Great points all around! Love Sigma. Although I should point out that this Canon 70-200 doesn’t have a rotating front element, so filters work great on it (all of the zoom and focusing is internal).

@JW-cs8dr 4 года назад

That's just brand preference and bias talking in regards to Canon. The reputation of the 70-200mm has held solid for years. I think sometimes people get so hung up on "opinions" in the profession that it's harder to step outside the box and admit, Sigma nailed it on this one and gave Canon a run for their money.

@danking9532 Месяц назад

I have been shooting exclusively Sigma lenses for the past 15 years. Originally, the reason for buying Sigma was price, now, I love the quality of their new lenses. I've owned probably 15 different Sigma Lenses over the years and the newer lenses are definately high quality build and has high quality glass. I was shooting an eagles nest with my Sigma 300 2.8 with a Sigma 2x, another photographer had the 600 5.6 prime lens. He let me shoot a few photos using his Canon glass, when I went through processing the images, there was no difference. I know Canon lenses are top notch and built a lot better, but for the money, I'll shoot Sigma any day. Great video and review.

@tombuck 4 года назад

The IS version is awesome! But this was more about doing a semi-direct price comparison, so the non-IS version was in line with the Sigma’s price.

@lifetimesofamultiplemediam1003 5 лет назад

The Non IS Sigma costs about £300, and is amazing… I've been using mine for three or four years.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

Really? I didn’t know there was another Sigma 70-200. That’s awesome.

@RichFreeman 5 лет назад

There have been a few of them over the years as far as I can tell. I just got what I think is the second gen non-IS, non macro version for $400. As you might guess there is a previous gen that had more abberation, and a macro version.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

I’m glad they keep improving! I’m currently borrowing a Sigma 24 1.4 to check out, which literally costs half of what the official Canon version goes for.

@Y쿤 2 года назад

Hi! I'm a Korean. Thank you for sending me the video that I was really curious about.I'm going to buy 70-200 lenses, but I'm thinking about Sigma and used Canon. L lens's own style and feeling. I've never used Sigma, but I have fewer opportunities to use it. I just started taking pictures and I'm using Canon R6 for my body. I take a lot of pictures for Instagram and memories such as people and cafes, and I'm thinking between Sigma and Canon. You will choose Sigma.

@tombuck 2 года назад

You really can't go wrong with Sigma lenses. Canon's L series are absolutely fantastic, but I've never had issues with Sigma.

@buddahbud1 3 года назад

All my lenses have been Canon but this time I purchased a very good used Sigma 70-200. I hope it's a decent as I've read. If not I'll return to Canon and their 70-200. It'll arrive soon and I hope it goes well :-) Thanx for your assessment.

Hey, that’s a pretty good reason! It’s a terrific lens, you really can’t go wrong with either one.

@warpspeed9877 11 месяцев назад

I stopped and checked every image between the two in full screen. At 4:26 (70mm) they look as sharp but the Sigma handles contrast way better (evident at the metal railing over the fabric shades), same story at 100mm @ 4:31 (check the higher offset squares on the pillars when you can see much more of the outline through the Sigma), and the same again at 200mm @ 4:34 (again the outline of the offset square is much crisper with Sigma and washed out through Canon...plus the shaded shapes on the fabric look better delineated through the Sigma. Maybe it's a metering thing... but again in the plant close up series i see much better contrast through Sigma throughout the f/stops. As a stills photographer i would buy Sigma. And dropping the lens on the ground is not in the menu. It may survive but usually the alignment is lost and it will never be the same again. That's why you never buy battered lenses "that still work fine".

@vpr5562 6 лет назад

Nice video, thank you). I would suggest when you present examples to lower the size of the letters and increase the size.of the samples). On my phone it was 50/50 and i couldnt see anything. But may be its.just.me. Good job!!

@NebulousFilms 5 лет назад

How is the autofocus noise from the sigma? Because I may want to buy one for video.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

It’s pretty quiet on this lens. Definitely there, but not as loud as I’ve heard on others.

@shreyaspraneshtingu 5 лет назад

Lol.... For the image stabilization test between the lenses at 6:26, he's zoomed in a tad bit more on the canon to exaggerate shake. If you're doing video, might as well use a 85 prime or a 100 macro on a gimbal. With an aperture as open as 2.8, you can go crazy low shutter speeds in outdoorsy conditions, removing the need for OIS to click photos.

@tombuck 5 лет назад

I can promise you they were the same focal length, maybe the camera moved slightly. I definitely wasn’t intentionally creating shake- this is just how the results came out.

@riccardocompierchio 2 года назад

Is the autofocus of the sigma 70 200 f2.8 fast?

@tombuck 2 года назад

It’s pretty great! Maybe just ever so slightly slower than the Canon.

@endowpictures22 Год назад

The canon is longer and wider...u didn't mention that....

@wopacupaproduction4637 6 лет назад

liked the video, but you got some things wrong... I've got the Canon one, the same one you've got, and it's not weather sealed. I've had mine since 2014 and some dust has got in. The other thing that bothers me is that you mentioned, that IS is used for sports. That is not really true. It is useful under 1/200 shutter speed on a FF. In sports you'll be using at leat 1/1000 shutter speed and IS ins't really needed at those speeds.

@tombuck 6 лет назад

Thanks for bringing up those points! This specific lens purchased in October of 2016 is definitely weather sealed (I just spent 3 solid weeks with it in the rain/wind). I’m not sure if the design has been updated, or if I just got lucky, but it’s been in some pretty intense weather over the past 2 years with no issues. As for IS, you’re definitely correct that it doesn’t really matter at those shutter speeds for still photos- but it can make a difference for video, so it is an important feature to notice in that regard. Thanks again for bringing up these points, they may be helpful to others looking at these lenses!

@wopacupaproduction4637 6 лет назад

Hmmm, very interesting. It looks like it's mildly weather sealed. It doesn't have an O ring at the mount right? Mine doesn't. I also have a 24-105 and that one is advertised as WS and has the O ring..

@tombuck 6 лет назад

How strange, you’re right that it does NOT have an O ring, which means it’s probably not officially weather sealed. After looking through Canon’s own website I can’t find any mention of weather sealing for this lens. I have had it stand up to intense weather with no issues, but it looks like that’s not how it’s officially rated. Very important to know!

Im a Hobby photograper, shooting mostly animals in Zoos and next to the riversides. Because i dont make money with my photos i go with the 3th party makers like sigma and tamron, I would go with the sigma, if i would make money out of my photos i would go with the Canon (1800€). As a Hobbiest those 3th party lenses are very good and they are getting better, i use the Sigma 150-600mm C, i was considering the Nikon 200-500MM 5,6 but the price difference is 500€ and thats too much for me. Also i have a Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro and its fantastic, the Nikon 105mm 2.8 Macro would i get only if i had a Nikon DSLR with more then 30mp. But everyone needs to deside for him self in the end.

@tombuck 2 года назад

Sigma makes truly fantastic lenses. The lenses you're thinking of are all terrific. You probably won't need the 24mm pancake since the 18-35 can cover the 24mm focal length AND has a wider aperture (unless you just want a super small lens like the pancake for travel and stuff). A 24-105 is also really nice for covering a bit of everything, but the only downside is that f4 can be a little tricky to work with indoors. If I had to make a recommendation, I would say start with the 18-35 and the 55-250. Those two lenses will cover just about anything you need, then you can start to decide what's missing and what you want to add. You might decide that you really want a super wide lens, or you might want a cool 85mm prime or something).

@tombuck 6 лет назад

I’ll be the first to admit that I have a Canon bias, so that could definitely be the case! However, I really do love this Sigma lens, so I don’t want to short change it. The video might not give the best examples, but after using both lenses side by side for a number of years, I’ve personally been able to get more consistently sharp images with the Canon. But the Sigmas stabilizer is incredible! Not sure if that’s helpful though...

@TheDonuan 6 лет назад

The Enthusiasm Project It is thank you. I seen comparisons go both ways And I would probably have a Canon bias also since its native And has a Trusted name. I think the key word you used is "consistently". It probably catches the focus a little bit better And sometimes that is very important you don't always get a second chance. Also that tells me I might not want the Sigma without the OS. Thank you so much for your help!

I should have mentioned the profile! I was able to download one from the MP Delta Mini wiki at mpminidelta.com It’s worked well for me so far.

Is that profile for Cura?

i am rather clumsy. i dropped the canon off my shoulder in its case to the ground and broke it. i dropped the sigma the same way and i didn't have to send it repair shop. only the filter gave in. maybe there was some kind of divine interference. LOL.

how can i sue that sigma lens with canon?

@tombuck 5 лет назад

Sigma makes lenses specifically for each camera manufacturer, so you just need to shop for the “Canon version”.

@LakpaSona 5 лет назад

The Enthusiasm Project thank you for replaying, i already have this lens is there any way i can use for my canon

@tombuck 5 лет назад

Which Canon do you have? If it’s the Canon version, it should just pop right in the camera.

@LakpaSona 5 лет назад

The Enthusiasm Project i have a canon camera and nickon sigma len 70-200

@tombuck 5 лет назад

Ahh, if you’ve got the Nikon Sigma, it probably won’t work with the Canon (although there might be an adapter that would work).

not liking the objective side of your comparison

@tombuck 6 лет назад

Care to elaborate? I try to be objective, but there’s always room to improve (and I do have a Canon bias).

4:39 -- you MUST NOT use moving objects when comparing the most critical performance points of these lenses (wide open) !! 6:43 -- "very scientific tests" -- hmmmmm... that was a joke , right ?

1. Let me tell you about the glory of Canon’s Dual Pixel Autofocus. 2. /s/
