Another unique Sigma telephoto, the 120-300mm f/2.8 (along with the 100-300mm f/4) provides a range and aperture not available from anyone else. This is a very sharp lens that focuses relatively quickly with hypersonic motor drive, a feature which makes it a favorite of sports shooters, especially on the sidelines for football and basketball.

This is a unique lens and its ability to zoom in this range at f/2.8 makes this lens invaluable in some situations. It’s not as sharp as a 300mm f/2.8 prime lens, but it’s pretty close. The only downside (other than the fact that it weighs more than your Thanksgiving turkey) is that the autofocus isn’t quite as fast or as accurate as Canon’s lenses, especially when the lighting is poor. This autofocus problem is not a failure issue; it’s the nature of a very huge zoom trying to move lots of glass around.
Note: At almost 6 pounds, this is a heavy lens. Unless you’re really strong you’ll want to shoot from a monopod.
Note: This lens is compatible with both Sigma and Canon 1.4x teleconverters.
High Risk Lens: The Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 lens has a higher failure rate than most lenses in our lineup.
- How high? The 120-300mm has a problem rate of 2% of rentals, despite being checked out thoroughly before it leaves us.
- Why? We can’t be sure. Sigma lenses, as a rule, have more problems than other brands. The larger Sigma zooms seem to have more issues than other Sigma lenses, possibly because of the weight of the glass elements and shock damage in shipping.
- What’s the point? We’re letting you know on the front end so you can make sure you order this lens in time to check it out before you leave for vacation or schedule your big shoot. We can send a replacement if it has a problem, but we can’t send a replacement Friday night to get to you Saturday morning.
- Type of problem: front focus, back focus, and loss of calibration
