Photo Gallery: The Powerful Bokeh and Low-Light Capability of the Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports Lens

By Jim Koepnick

Sigma is pleased to feature a gallery of images by photographer Jim Koepnick. This gallery is comprised entirely of images shot with the Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports lens.

The lens fits into both my portrait photography with outstanding bokeh and compression, as well as sports action with fast autofocus and super sharp images. Not to mention, it’s also a great lens just to carry around.

It’s the kind of lens that makes me glance over as it sits on the table. There is just something about the look of it. There is something special about this lens opening up that one extra f-stop that sets it apart from all those F2.8 lenses we have become accustomed to. It’s the kind of lens I know I want to use when the portrait has to be magical.
