The Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN is a highly anticipated lens, and it lives up to expectations. The lens is heavy, weighing in at 1350g, but it is well-built and fully weather-sealed. The lens features customizable buttons, a manual focus ring, an aperture ring with solid click stops, and a ARCA Swiss style tripod mount. The lens is fast and responsive, making it ideal for street photography and journalism work. It also offers a close minimum focusing distance and good macro capabilities. The lens produces beautiful bokeh and has minimal chromatic aberration, making it great for portrait shots. Additionally, it performs well for videography, with a smooth manual focus ring, an aperture ring, and minimal focus breathing. In terms of sharpness, the lens performs admirably, although it may not quite compare to the Sony G Master version 2. However, for the price, it offers professional-level results and is a practical choice for Sony mirrorless users. Overall, the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG DN is a fantastic lens that delivers great performance at a very good price.
