Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 DG DN OS is the eighth lens in this guide, listed at £1,499.00. It is a full-frame f/2.8 telephoto zoom for Leica L-mount cameras, with an HLA autofocus motor, optical stabilisation and a dust and splash-resistant structure, according to the listing. On price it sits below the two Sony G Master entries, which are listed at £1,939.00 and £1,825.00. It carries a 4.4-out-of-5 rating from 29 ratings.
The listing's own spec table disagrees with itself. Under "Lens Design" it says Zoom; a few lines further down, under "Fixed Focal Length", it says 200 Millimetres — the same number it gives for "Maximum Focal Length". A zoom that is also fixed at 200 mm is one or the other, not both. The same table gives a photo filter size of 91.44 Millimetres, where the other f/2.8 zooms in this guide are listed at 77 mm or 82 mm. Its aperture field reads "2.8 f", which is at least an aperture figure and not the "2.8 Millimetres" that four other listings in this guide use. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this lens; we have not handled or tested it.
