Interested in getting a new toy and want something that would have a large aperture and zoom. Seems that a lot of photog's love the 24-70 2.8, especially the Nikon piece. However, I can't spend the $1,500-2k that the Nikon is. So my second option is the Sigma 24-70mm 2.8. I already own a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle and have to say I'm quite pleased with it. In any case, has anyone tried/own a Sigma 24-70mm 2.8?? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

Hi,
if you have not already checked this out, good read RE: YOUR ?

Also, don't forget to put the 28-70 on your shopping list.
love my 24-70, heavy, but never disappointed with the IQ.

 

btw, what are you shooting with dx or fx?

 

DX.

 

You might also want to consider the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I absolutely love mine on my D700. It's great on my D200 as well.

And for ~$400, you really can't go wrong.
