hi need some advice 120 - 300 sigma 2.8 os or the canon 70 - 200 2.8. which is going to be the best for quality and sharpness. only got a day to decide.

kind regards Wicksey
 
The canon
 
The Sigma 120-300 is a superb lens works brilliantly even with a 2X attached. Certainly can hold it's own against a Canon, as with all premium brands you pay more, doesn't always mean you get extra value for the additional cost.
 
thanks Ken i originally come from fareham, it is bloody heavy though

Two totally different lenses in my opinion. The 70-200 I'd conceder walkabout, the 120-300 not so much.

Depends how much focal length you need but the non-OS sigma I had was fantastic.

even if it means losing the focul length?

But, that wasn't the question..
The question was about quality and sharpness.:thinking:
Between 70 and 200 the Canon will be better - but maybe not enough to justify the cost (to you) - but the Canon is rubbish beyond 200 (unless you get a 1.4 TC - which will take the Canon to 280mm f4.);)

the IQ of the 120-300 is pretty darn good and I doubt you'd notice any difference on an standard size print
 
Cropped from a shot taken with the Sigma 120-300 OS with 2X TC still pretty good IQ :D
