In addition to being able to shoot travel landscapes, 70-200mm has always been a great focal length for portrait shooting. Because it doesn't shoot very closely, the characters are less distorted, and the telephoto's compression and bokeh make the background cleaner. So this time I brought a Sigma 70-200mm f2. with an e-mount8 dg dn os | sport。
From the appearance, you can see that this is a heavyweight lens, but in fact, the weight of 70-200mm has been reduced to 1335g, which is a lens specially designed for mirrorless cameras. So if there will be compromises elsewhere after the weight reduction, let's first see how well it works when shooting portraits.
Shimokitazawa is a well-known trendsetting spot in Tokyo, and there are a lot of people here on weekend afternoons, so the 70-200mm lens was just the right focal length to control the range of the background, and I could shoot different depths of bokeh on the edge of the barbed wire at the exit or on different levels of the background.
Focal length: 135mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 160
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 13EV White Balance: Auto.
Walk to the middle of the road, the person behind the black press, but use the 200mm end f28 can get the strongest bokeh of this lens, turning everyone in the background into a soft bokeh background.
Focal length: 200mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 160
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 07EV White Balance: Auto.
While the background is soft, the backlit face details are also particularly striking. And there is not a trace of purple fringe in the hair.
Focal length: 200mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 160
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 07EV White Balance: Auto.
Squatting down and shooting from the top of the camera can not only avoid the people behind, but also the ground can also be seen with bokeh from near to far. Here we use the railings on the ground in the environment to increase the color and depth of the picture.
Focal length: 128mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 125
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 07EV White Balance: Auto.
Focal length: 98mm Aperture: f 32 ISO sensitivity: 160
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 13EV White Balance: Auto.
Continue to walk up to find the blue railing background is more beautiful, and use the 200mm end to directly blur the railing and distant view behind it, and you can directly take a portrait of the Japanese miscellaneous style.
Focal length: 200mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 125
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 07EV White Balance: Auto.
Zoom in to 100mm to shoot portraits with ambients. Here I asked the model to turn repeatedly and raise her hands to capture. This lens can be used with Sony's A7CR to make perfect use of AI people recognition to focus, and the focus can be locked on the subject and quickly focused when turning.
Focal length: 114mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 100
* Time: 1 640s ** Compensation: 03EV White Balance: Auto.
When you shoot full-body portraits with a focal length of 170mm, you can get a lens with a rich environment and strong bokeh. Here you have to ask why not use 200mm to make the bokeh stronger? This is where the zoom lens comes in, because at this position, I tried different focal lengths and decided that I could use 170mm to get the shooting distance and frame that I was most satisfied with.
Focal length: 175mm Aperture: f28 ISO sensitivity: 125
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 03EV White Balance: Auto.
You can't always be on the same level as the model when shooting portraits, so the angle of view will be a bit single. In the alley here, we found a staircase and asked her to go to the top of the staircase and I shot from the bottom up. Because the telephoto lens shoots at a farther distance, the angle is flatter, and there are no problems such as a double chin or distortion of the character when shooting up at close range. And whether it is in the light or against the light, it can retain the color of the blue sky.

Focal length: 192mm Aperture: f 35 ISO sensitivity: 160
* Time: 1 500s ** Compensation: 13EV White Balance: Auto.
The sunlight directly illuminates the character, and the local time ratio is particularly large, and the preservation of highlight details can be seen after zooming in here is also relatively good.
Focal length: 200mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 400

Towards sunset, the camera shoots directly at the sunlight and is slightly missing in the backlit corner of the frame without a hood, which is a problem that almost every lens encounters when facing backlighting. However, the contrast of the figures is still excellent, and it is again proven that purple dispersion is almost invisible. Not even a faint purple or green.

In the evening we came to Shinjuku, f2The wide aperture of 8 and optical image stabilization allow me to shoot at night with a low shutter speed and ISO to get a very good quality night portrait, and the ** shown here does not reduce noise through any post-production means.

The lens body is designed with an anti-shake mode adjustment switch, and there are 2 different anti-shake modes, here I use the os1 mode, which is more suitable for static shooting, and the os2 mode is more suitable for panning shooting. This stabilization effect can be said to be very good, ensuring that the night picture is clear and sharp.
At the 175mm end, the distant background turns into a creamy spot, and each circle is very soft around it, without that hard outline or dirty feeling.
Focal length: 173mm Aperture: f 32 ISO sensitivity: 2000
* Time: 1 250s ** Compensation: 17EV White Balance: Auto.
In the middle of sidewalks and alleys, the 70mm focal length was used due to the limitation of shooting distance. Although the bokeh at this time is not as good as the telephoto effect, it is still very clean and soft.
Focal length: 140mm Aperture: f 28 ISO sensitivity: 2000
* Time: 1 250s ** Compensation: 13EV White Balance: Auto.
Focal length: 70mm Aperture: f 32 ISO sensitivity: 4000

I experienced different lighting environments such as strong light at noon, smooth and backlight in the afternoon, and night scenes. Use this Sigma 70-200mm f28 dg dn os |The Sport achieves very good results in different lighting conditions, and its own zoom characteristics can also be applied to more different shooting scenes and distances, whether it is a 200mm telephoto end or a 70mm medium focal end, it has a soft background blur effect. The sharpness and chromatic dispersion are also very good, making the portrait more textured and magazine-like.
The function buttons for the lens are also particularly comprehensive. In addition to the stabilization mentioned above, there are also manual focus switches, close-up focus switches, aperture rings, focus rings, and aperture ring lock buttons, as well as 3 custom buttons on the front.
There is also this particularly delicate tripod ring, which has 4 white dots in 4 directions corresponding to 4 standard card slots when rotating, and the bottom of the tripod ring is still a standard size quick-release plate, which can be directly fixed to the standard gimbal without additional quick-release plates.
Here I pointed the lens at the port area more than a dozen kilometers away, and the compression of the telephoto turned the city into a colorful building block house. And there is very good image quality in the center and edges of the picture.

That's all I know about the E-mount Sigma 70-200mm F28 dg dn os |I have experienced all the use of sport, and I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
