SIGMA 70-200 2.8 Sports REVIEW vs Canon 70-200 2.8L IS III - Is the CHEAPER Lens Actually BETTER?

This is a review of the Sigma 70-200 2.8 OS HSM Sports lens. I decided to put it against the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS III to see which did better in the real world. I took both lenses out to a college basketball game along with two different Canon bodies. I used the Canon EOS R with EF adapter and the Canon 6D MARK II. Which lens did better, the $1,499 one of the $2,099 one?

The haters gonna hate, but these real world reviews are exactly why I watch your show. Keep it up, big homie!

[tombuck]

I have the old version of both these lenses at work, and they’re awesome. I gotta say though, the Sigma is really impressive. Sigma lenses have gotten so good!

[njrivetelite]

After watching Id say both lenses did great and Im impressed with what 3rd party lenses have been doing as of late.. focus speed & accuracy... sharpness and color are on point.. Spending less on such lenses no longer means sacrificing quality.. I feel pros could feel confident using these lenses.

This is so amazing. Today I read a comment from a guy on the Sigma 60 600 video: "Looking forward to see a real world review of the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 Sports
"
Now you upload this. Excited to watch this.

You're so honest man! WOW! I truly appreciate you, the way you explained which one is the best for someone just starting out. Good luck in everything man.

Just the review I needed. Thanks for the effort and putting this videos out, Jared, much appreciated!

[fatbat]

Jared outstanding breakdown! Thanks for taking the time to provide such detail analysis it helped with figuring out which one I am getting.

[TheDom]

I think 15-20 years ago there was a bit of a stigma about buying third party lenses and using them on pro body cameras (people would say there's no point, or it's a waste of money). But now Sigma has come on a long way... the 24-105 art lens is fantastic, and Sigma lenses are a great alternative.

[MedicRyan]

The review I have been waiting for. You made the choice pretty easy! I'll be picking up the Sigma soon and cannot wait to get it. Keep up the great work and thank you!

Sigma made a huge name for themselves with the sigma 18-35 1.8

[RickyZastrow]

Really great job with this review Jared! This is a lens that I’m definitely looking forward to purchasing.

[markhardycreative]

Great review thanks Fro team your content is always a treat and I appreciate the work you put into your vids for people

[HuFilms]

I just got the Sigma and it's totally awesome. The lens is super sharp and the optical stabilisation is the best I've used!

[JonPaulKersey]

I love Jared’s content! Always quick to the point and he explains everything with perfection. Solid content! I give this a 10 out 10. His podcast are dope too! A real person, doing real quality content! My go too!

[guillemcasanova]

Hey man, congrats on your work! From this day I will follow your videos. I think you explain yourself so clear and your tests and knowledge are so helpful. I think I'll go with the Sigma, I'm used to carry weight in my photography journeys in the mountains. ;)

[willparsons]

Hey Jared. Thanks for the enthusiastic video on this lens.. I shoot with the Crop lens of a 70D and have this lens. It's my first go-to lens since I purchased the Camera 4 years ago. Great lens!

[lefteyeviewed]

Great review - I've got an EOS R and I'm trying to decide between these exact lenses. Sigma takes it

[lisaspics]

Thanks for the review. I’m happy to see that the Sigma works well on the EOS R.

[mactaduyo]
