Review: I have used the the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 ex dg af with my pentax IST-ds for a little over two years. I take lots of hockey photos and other sports. The quality of the images are fantastic. I looked at several other lenses in roughly the same price range before buying the Sigma lens. The quality and feel of the Sigma lens was much greater. The lens feels like a professional lens costing much more. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone.
