Pros: Superb build and handling; snappy and contrasty image; HSM focussing; value compared to Nikon; quality lenshood

Cons: Not brilliant at 2.8; 82mm filters; heavy, especially when on FX body

Opinion: The nicest handling lens I've ever used. Rock-solid build with silky smooth zoom and manual focus. AF an absolute pleasure. Performance is OK at open aperture but just closing down to f3.2 makes for noticeable improvement. f4 - f16 and images are super-sharp with lovely 3D roundness and buoyancy, popping from the PC screen. Polarisers hindered by large 82mm size, no vignetting at 24mm. I also use this lens on DX D7000 for 36-105mm f2.8 with theatre and performance photography. If buying now, the Tamron with VC would be the obvious choice, my Sigma is 5+ years old and still looks good and performs and handles as well as new. My score 9.5/10, rounded down to 9/10 for Juza.

Pros: Robust, good optical quality, fast enough autofocus, worth more than it cost.

Cons: The manual focus is the opposite compared to the nikkor, the autofocus over time has become slightly noisy, slight vignetting at TA.

Opinion: Taken to replace the Nikon counterpart, with defunct autofocus and very hard rings after just over a year of moderate use, it has never disappointed me, very good overall yield, pleasant blurred, robust, quite light, in relation to focal lengths and aperture, fast autofocus, never had problems with front / back focus, lately the focus has become slightly noisy, It emits ticks when it reaches the fire. The thing that bothers me a little is the focus on the contrary compared to the Nikkor, in correcting the maf manually, I happen, sometimes, to turn in the wrong direction, but it is a "problem" of all the Sigma I have. A nice 8 deserves it without a doubt.

Pros: professional construction fast and quiet AF performance very interesting optical

Cons: of full frame edges not very defined, but of canon 1d aps-h nothing to say

Opinion: overall a great 24-70 2.8 recommended to all very defined when compared to the canon being the DG lens scheme was created to sensors and not suitable for film to video because it has zero noise in the focus and then "TOZZO" It does not stretch much and more unbalanced rnih the package makes the idea of ??a product made for the professional rnio use it for weddings and is great for photos but if you use to make video does not disappoint

Pros: Versatility, brightness, sharpness, color, construction, silent auto focus, fast and accurate, the price (or at least compared to the equivalent of used Canon / Nikon) ...

Cons: Weight and size ... but there is little to do. If you want to zoom 2.8 quality I think is inevitable and acceptable. ..

Opinion: I'm not familiar with the zoom there is little to do. I have not for a matter of approach to photography: I prefer three continuous. But the versatility of a 24/70 species on the full format is remarkable. I suffered the weight also ... For optical quality, auto focus, sharpness and I keep building more than a good memory! Costs half the Canon, I can not make comparisons on the relevant image quality but my Sigma 24/70 it was excellent even on demanding APSC sensors and clogged. Risolvenza quite good, bright ... a must for anyone today is not to invest more than a certain number (450 average of the current assessments of second) in a standard zoom! Recommended therefore, those figures do not think there's any better ... sure my beloved drives are another thing.

Pros: There was one!

Cons: MAF issues and problems showy front back focus.

Opinion: Purchased 1.100,00 EUR with official warranty Mtrading, when inserted in my Nikon D7000 and D7100 immediately noticed problems MAF front and back focus, immediately sent in care fell after ten days with the same problems, I immediately disappointed put on sale, and after about six months after using it to take 20 photos I managed to sell below cost to 600.00 (Very Hard to sell). Given the negative experience with Sigma I think I do not buy more. I purchased a Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f / 4G ED VR and a Tamron SP 70-200mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD with which I am fine with no problem.

Pros: Well built .autofocus ultrasound fast. Resistance to flare

Cons: Vignette at the corners. weight

Opinion: excellent in backlit autofocus medium fast and very defined already at f2.8 beautiful blurred and advice to those who do not want to spend too much for the nikon 24-70 (which is significantly higher than the sigma) only downside for me is that the corners presents a some vignetting (the first I bought was replaced because just unwrapped mounted af dead! !!!!!!!) rnIl front / Back focus is present and to consider

Pros: Value for money excellent, solid and well built lens, light, fast and accurate AF and good resistance to flare .. tell me if it is short;)

Cons: Slight vignetting at wide open under certain conditions

Opinion: Before purchasing this light I wanted to compare it between the sisters of different brand, at the end were the pros outweigh the cons and so I bought it safe to have made a good investment. In my opinion this lens is a general purpose always bring back, is excellent both for night shooting in low-light conditions during the day, open to all works very well even though in some light conditions there is a slight vignetting which I think is negligible . Many complain because it is not Tropicalised but for me it is not a problem when it rains I'm home! :) I've often used for wide-field astrophotography and are more than satisfied. Finally, also the cost is not bad compared to the renowned Canon's I bought used here on the forum at a very reasonable price, on a whim I would like to replace it with a Canon lens with the same focal length L-series, but I prefer to comparison keep my Sigma seen that the defects set forth are less or equal than Canon, so why spendmuch more?

Pros: quality / price ratio, aperture, AF speed, fairly light but well built

Cons: Sharpness in TA is not outstanding, AF accuracy questionable, 82mm filters

Opinion: I took it to need to have a zoom lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8 on the cheap and frankly the differences with the other lenses of the same type feels. I own the latest model, the one without the coating Sigma that you browse. to all you can use it to open but loses a little in sharpness, which is why the brand will change soon. The autofocus is fast but not as accurate in situations also quite normal focus is not accurate ... especially with poor luce.rnIn Ultimately, if you want to spend a little is fine but just spend a little more kind to the tamron VC and surely the result is different

Pros: quality 'handling

Cons: lens cover

Opinion: bought from a couple of months you use it regularly without problems do not buy it more 'just for the nuisance of the cap with lens hood attached and' almost impossible to put it on the first try despite what 'his work as the only doubt plays very well Charity held devalue too quickly and will probably remain and 'the only lens I purchased the non-canon

Pros: Quality / Price, sharpness, brightness and well built

Cons: MAF is not always accurate, not weather sealed

Opinion: Looking at the price difference from the same model Nikon I'd say it's worth acquistarlo.rnnon I had problems with front / back focus as read in many recensioni.rnora is also located at 550/600 € I would say that quality / price does its job very well . rnunica thing they could take better care of the lens hood is a bit'' toy'' with respect to the construction of the optics and the cap even that seems a bit fragilino.

Pros: Solid construction, resistance to flare, good sharpness in general (except at the edges to large openings), AF satisfactory

Cons: Slight vignetting, lack of tropicalization

Opinion: It 'a lens that I appreciated on Aps-c and I re-evaluated after being passed to FF.rnNitidezza very good in the center and f / 4 and up, it makes at its best between f / 8 and f/11 recovering almost completely even at bordi.rnLodevole crush strength to the reflections in the light. RNAF appreciable, fairly fast and with some difficulty only in areas with little contrast (defect of nearly all lenses). rnCostruzione well-made, solid, after 3 years did not play in the prayers, good grip to tatto.rnE 'my primary lens, excellence is not like other high-end products (Canon 24-70) clearly, but it costs much much less and this makes it, in my opinion, a very good product that must also be evaluated for its value / prezzo.rnSu focal intermediate consider the absence of the stabilizer is not conclusive, there was some help (I think the recent Tamron 24-70), but I do not feel that the mancanza.rnLente definitely recommend it to those who can not afford more expensive products.

Pros: lightweight lens, low distortion, high resistance to flare, flowing, there is little

Cons: cartoon wide open and not nitida.infiniti problems of front-bach focus and autofocus mechanical, optical gentle and non-tropical

Opinion: using this lens with professional bodies, in my opinion, shows all its limits .. f 2.8 morbido.i file is missing .. you have to close the incision at least up to 5.6 to start talking about sharpness vera.ecco then unnecessary to take this perspective to think to use it only af found delusioni.ho 2.8.vi give large as in the sigma 50 f 1.4 also that the autofocus has problems when you block and reassemble ... that does as pare.provata of old 5d and 1d mark IV . shipped after two days in Milan for huge front focus .. come back after one month .. it was just decent .. obviously sold now .. waiting I bought the Tamron 24-70 f 2.8 VC .. another world ..

Pros: Fast autofocus, brightness

Cons: Lack of tropicalization

Opinion: The objective is well built, but not weather sealed: in the copy I have only entered into a speck of dust which, although not visible in the shots, it's "annoying" to see. The optical quality is excellent and, considering the price, it is a valid alternative to the more famous Nikon and Canon that cost more than double. Personally I use it in many situations, from landscape to portrait passing through the street. The real strength is the maximum f/2.8 aperture that allows operation even in low light conditions. The best yield is obtained, however, with aperture f/5.6 to f / 9.

Pros: Building good, brightness and good af

Cons: slight vignetting in ff

Opinion: What about ... provided that each of us is expressed in a very propia and then use accessories to ok in proportion to its equipment / pocket, this lens remains a valuable atterezzo to achieve what we have tried and liked. I think the article Juza explains mallet so many of my words, in the end I find this very good optics are fast, accurate and also very happy.
