How do you know about the Nikon focus breathing issue? In your video, you talked about specifically what you are getting millimeter wise, How do you know what this is? Are You using some sort of calibration tool? Are you just looking at a comparison lens Versus lens on your screen? I have the Nikon 70-200 verII so I am little interested and concerned.
The distance should be measured from both "sensor distance" (the camera body), not from the front of the 2 front elements side-by-side like in your video.
Hello you two 🙂 I just purchased the D810 and would like to know wich of these 2 lenses is the sharpest for this body? Tamron 20-70mm F2.8 or the Sigma 24-105mm F4…thanks
Uhh, what? They didn't have a lens comparable to the canon 70-200/2.8? In a comparison the canon and Nikon were so close, there was no winner.

Shouldn't the title say "The Ultimate Portrait Lens" ? There wasn't any sports (high speed focus) testing done at all.
So as a drag racing photographer, I have a 5d Mk III but my only telephoto is a 70-200 f2.8 v1. Should I get a telephoto (either 1.4x or 2) for the 70-200 or should I get the 120-300? I may also get one for the 120-300 if I get it.
can you tell me about Nikkor 28-85 f3.3-5.6 , please.
Thank you for the review Tony & Chelsea. I am concidering this lens as my next purchase, but am unable to find a review that covers a scenario on how I would be using the lens. I would like your opinion about this lenses focus and sharpness capabilities of images under these conditions and gear:
-Canon 7d mk ii
-Sigma 120-300 S (lens reviewed here)
-Friday Night Lights (or other night time high school sports)
-ISO 6400
-1/500 minimum shutter
-wide open at f2.8
I currently shoot a Canon 70-200 is ii, if you could compare the focus speed and sharpness under the same conditions it would be very helpful.
Thank you for everything you do for the photo community.
I apologize for any typos. I typed this out in my smartphone.
the focusing is way to slow for fast sports action
Oh my, I couldn't watch the end of the video. All those high class cameras on the patio. I almost saw one falling down. 😀
hi do you recommend this lens for wildlife and birds
So, Tony…when is Sigma going to release an "art" series successor to their old EX 100-300/4.0? They have the 12-24/4.0 art, the 24-105/4.0 art…all is missing is the 100-300/4.0 art to have a complete set of high quality zooms covering all the focal length spectrum. This 120-300/2.8 is bulky and super expensive. I would think that a max 1500$ 100-300/4.0 art lens would have a following!
Which lens to get for Nikon to avoid focus breathing?
Have you considered the NIkon 70-200mm f/4? Very sharp and negligible focus breathing. I love it.
Is Chelsea being greenscreened in this video? It kinda looks like that.
Why is the screen cap shows the Sigma at 240mm rather than 300mm?
Why don't you use the 200mm prime
Sir i have nikon d5200
new nikkor lens AF-P DX 70-300mm is it compatible with my dslr ?
I was hoping you'd actually shoot some sports with it. :/
I have stopped getting technical information from the Northrups….
For example. Canon is breathing forward at about 230+- mm and the Nikon 70-200 is around 160+-mm,,,,

Hi
I found your tutorial really useful for photography. Do you have any review video for Nikon 70-200 f/4 lens?
I would like to hear yours though on this lens.
Another great video folks….. I was just curious about how you guys have that setup on your computer where you are able to see images right away….. What software is that?
If you are shooting portraits at 200mm, why not choose the Nikon 70-200 f/4 rather than the f/2.8. It doesn't suffer from focus breathing. I use it all the time.
Have you guys ever tested the 180mm 2.8 lenses in replacement of the 70-200 for Nikon? I know Nikon has finally fixed it won the 70-200 E lens but it’s about 2600 I want to say.
Tony suddenly got muscular with that lens!!
Help Question I am a hobby bird photographer and want to buy a secondhand tele prime on my Nikon D500I having the 300mm f4 but want more length Like the 500mm f4 of the 400.2.8 with the tc 1.4 on it.But is it wise to buy a Nikon 300mm 2.8 vr ii with the latest tc 2.0 III (600mm on f5.6) on it because it’s cheaper and you are more mobile with it.Do you lose a lot of sharpness with this combination?
And i can also sell the Nikon 300mm f4 so i have extra money for it. (On this lens i had the tc. 1.4 and it wasn’t great).There’s is not that much to find on this combination.On the internet some people says it’s better to go for the 500 and some people says it’s a great combination the 300 with the tc on it.
Perhaps not important, now that this video is 3 years old…but I got this and love it
Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC G2, came with a 6 year warranty. 😀
Even at the age of the video, this is priceless to me when I'm shopping for new gear.
How did you get your pictures to show up on your monitor?
Having a Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm lens.. Looking for a high zoom lens from 18mm, Please suggest some lens which will be helpful for my Camera.
we love you
Tony and Chelsea how do you think it now works with the just released MC 11 and camera firmware updates on the Sony A9?
Focus breathing???? use view finder or pc screen tethered to see image! How sharp and colour matter more, depth of field required for effect? another garbage pointless vid
Tony, Change ur cameraman, he has a nasty eye on Chelsea's butt. Seriously…. 1:56
sigma240mm!!!
Are those light meters on the shoe mount?
