SIGMA announced their new 70-200mm F/2.8 DG DN OS Sports lens. The new telezoom will complete the mirrorless F/2.8 trio, sometimes referred to as “the holy trinity” of lenses. The 14-24 f/2.8 DG DN takes the wide end, the 24-70 F/2.8 stretches across most mainstream focal lengths, and the new 70-200 will cover the long end. Rumors about the new SIGMA 70-200mm F/2.8 DG DN OS Sports lens have been circulating for quite some time now, and today SIGMA put an end to the speculation. The new lens is a part of SIGMA’s Sports series. As part of SIGMA’s Global Vision, lenses are divided into three segments: Art for most high-end, fast aperture prime lenses (and some zooms), Contemporary for basic zoom lenses, and slower, more compact primes, and Sport for high-end tele lenses aimed at sports and wildlife. Design and ergonomics As a professional-level telephoto zoom, the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN OS includes various features, control points, buttons, switches, and rings. All are encased in a hardened weather-sealed chasse. These include an aperture ring (as well as zoom and focus rings, of course) a click/de-click switch for smooth aperture transition in video, a custom three-position switch, an OS mode switch, a focus range limiter, an AF/MF switch, and three AFL (autofocus lock) buttons around the front of the lens. Specific cameras may use them as custom buttons. All of this fits into a 1285g lens (tripod leg detached). SIGMA 70-200mm F/2.8 DG DN OS Sports. Image credit: SIGMA...
