wow.........
I am new to photography and depend on reviews and consumer comments to make my purchases. When they say heavy, you had better pay attention! (But I think the neck surgery will be worth it all!) When they say awesome, you had better believe it. I am so impressed with the quality of the photos....super fast focus, much faster than my Pentax lenses, and so quiet. I shoot with a Pentax k20d and this lens may never leave the camera! Better get ya one!

Was really excited to get the lens:
Couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. Sigma is a good brand, but I got a 'lemon' :( It was soft at many different apertures; I just couldn't believe it. I took many pictures in many different lighting conditions, and all were quite soft. My current lens works great (the lens that came with the camera) and gives me very sharp results so I expected the same out of this lens.
Back to Amazon it goes :(

Quick focus, front AF issue
This is a very fast focus fixed apperture lens. The only down side is the front focus issue at 70mm f2.8. I have to return the lens and go fort Tamron with better IQ

Good 2.8 Lens if you know what the weaknesses are
I use this lens on a Nikon D300S
Overall this is a good lens 7.5/10.
Pros:
*Excellent and accurate auto-focus
*Fast auto-focus (Not Nikon fast but 85% of it)
*Cost - good bang for the buck
*Sharp at f8+
*Build Quality is excellent
*Nice BOKAH
Cons:
*VERY soft at 2.8 - why buy a 2.8 if you can't shoot at 2.8
*Sharpness falls off at 200
*No OS on this version
*A little odd CA through the entire range
In summary, if you know what the weaknesses are you can shoot around them and get excellent results. Consider the Nikon 80-200 2.8 when buying this

WAIT BEFORE YOU BUY!!
This is a great lens, but I would recommend waiting before purchasing it. I bought it two weeks ago, and Sigma just announced the new version with stabilization that allows for shooting 4 stops lower than possible without the stabilization. I'm not sure if the price will be the same, but if it is, it will be a steal at this price! now if I can only find someone who will buy the one I just purchased so I can upgrade to the stabilized version...

Olympus Cameras HistoryOlympus Corporation (early known as Takachiho Seisakusho) was founded by Takeshi Yamashitaon on October 12, 1919, and initially specialized in microscope and thermometer businesses. The company is named after Mount Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology.
Olympus continued the tradition of manufacturing high-quality optics through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934. Two years later the Zuiko lens was born.
 Through its history Olympus Company has manufactured various types of cameras: medium-format cameras, fully automatic zoom cameras, 35mm cameras, EE-equipped cameras, autofocus cameras - in different series.
The history of Olympus cameras began in 1936, when they introduced their first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. It was very expensive camera for that time.
In 1959 the first truly innovative camera series was launched - compact and portable (for their time) PEN models. They were half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a stand... More About Olympus Cameras |
