Hi DB it must have been really late to reply to your message now. I've just recently bought this lens and it is the newer version now. It can be identified with a smooth body coating instead of the old matt one. It is better now and the colours look less yellow.

This is the older version. The newest version is much sharper, focuses more accurately, and is definitely the lens you want to purchase.

Looks like that one is for Nikon mounts, so I would say no. Try this one instead: Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

I don't know the newer model, but the current one is good enough. However, I've sold all my Canon cameras and most of the lens, and switch to Sony Nex system. Just bought the Sony a6000. Its very good. Focus super fast, nothing less than 7D. Just my thought. Good luck with your choice.

I got Canon SX30is(well,last Nov). I was fairly satisfied except inability of continual shooting(1.3 frame/sec.)picture quality(PQ) not so good but acceptable for 1/2.33 sensor,720 HD video is good, but Sony came out with HX100 30X zoom with rapid shooting,1080 HD and Finepix HS20,now Nikon P500 with 1080 HD, 22.5mm-810mm lens which is due for sale on March 3rd in Japan. I'm tempted,but what do I do with Canon....

What version of the 24-70 are you referring to? If you do not need f2.8 then I would steer you to the new f4 version that has IS. The 28-70 is an old lens no longer supported by Canon and you will find it difficult to find someone to fix it if you ever have problems.

Michael, The one I got a few months back is the US warranty version. I have purchased quite a few Canon lenses on Amazon and they have all be US versions.

I do not know which other lens you are talking about. My guess is it has the same specs as this one also by Canon. They are versions of the same lens. The one whose page you are on is newer. The old one has a 67 mm diameter the new one 72 mm. New one has updated focal elements but it's roughly the same.

There are 2 lenses with similar names. The newest is the 18-250 f 3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM. The older lens does not have the MACRO in the name. The newest lens has better Macro capabilities and is smaller and lighter. I got the newest lens and I love it. See www.dpreview.com for a review of the lenses.

The Sigma 880-101 is an older lens and does not have Macro capabilities. Several websites say it's no longer available as new. The Sigma 883-101 is the replacement for the 880-101 and is Macro capable. I just received this lens for Christmas and have put it through it's paces at Zoo Miami.It's a great lens for amateurs who want quality photos.

I have the Canon 50mm 1.4. The Bokeh is not very good. not a good choice for macro. I'm now looking for a macro lens.

The Sigma 85mm is a damn good lens at a damn good price.Sigma also includes the hood and padded case.I use this lens for portraits, nudes,and weddings.Perfect companion to the Canon 18-200mm lens.

I am using Sigma 150mm f2.8 AF APO EX DG OS HSM for Canon. I don't have any problem to use f2.8 at 1:1. Using a tripod to shoot at flat object first to see if you can get a focused image. If you do, then the lens is good. At f2.8 and 1:1, DOF is almost 0, means that you only have a "point", or a "flat" image in focus. Macro lens using f2.8 at 1:1 has its use, may be doesn't fit for one of your applications.

My copy of the Sigma was horrendous. I had to send it back. Ended up buying the 35mm version of the Sigma (the new Artisan series) and that one's MUCH sharper than the equivalent Canon 1.4.

I bought it brand new but I got rid of it already and bought the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS. Much better lens! Super sharp all through out the zoom range.

Sigma DC lens are designed primarily for APS-C sensors (comparable to Canon's EF-S lens). They will work on full frame sensors but, as I understand it, the edges of the photo will be affected (darkened...) because the lens does not provide full coverage of the sensor.

With Sigma look for DG in the lens description to identify FX compatible lenses. In the case of the Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM. the letters DG are what you care about and OS (optical stabilized) for long lenses like this one. I use this lens on my D700, D800 and D80 (IR converted) with good results. Go for it. Good price and my experience is that it is a good lens.
