Good to test it out before your purchase. I am sure you can see the different in feature, iq and prices. Depending on your needs and budget you should be able to decide which will be your long term lens. All the best!

I'm using sigma 70-200 os on d700 and it works pretty awesome.
Os works stop like 1-2 stops.

I'm sure it's a good alternative to a Nikon vr2 on the d800

Sigma 70-200 OS is a good alternative to vr1. but performance wise, is quite a distance away from vr2.

Heyo. Could you update the thread with photos from the various lenses that you've tried so those planning to get a 70-200 would have a clearer idea of what would be suitable for them as well?

Been reading reviews and watched Matt Granger's comparison and on a cost vs IQ, I'm leaning towards a sigma at the moment.

I dont own a D800 but I took this pictures with the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 OS HSM on my D7000. Hope it helps. Cheers!

Quality looks acceptable to me. At the end of the day, it's IQ versus the cost you willing to pay.
