Pros: Price, very sturdy construction, weight, very bright, excellent blurred.

Cons: None considered the price of used.

Opinion: I bought this used lens for 100€ per game. Mounted on Nikon D800, it was a pleasant surprise, great shots, very natural colors, pleasing to us of the old guard who come from the film. I often prefer it to the 24-120 f/4 for weight and size, not for quality, that's another thing. Excellent purchase is worth much more than it costs.

Cons: Info

Opinion: Hi, I have this lens first used on an analog and now on a good digital. I was wondering if it makes sense to switch to the Nikkor 24-120 f4 spending 450 euros! Is it worth it? Has anyone tried both? _____-____-___ _____... __ _____...... _____-_-_-_-_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _____ _____-____-___ _____... __ _____...... _____-_-_-_-_ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _____ _____-____-___ _____... __ _____...... _____-_-_-_-_ _ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _____ _____-____-___ _____... __ _____...... ____ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _____ ___ ____-_____... __ _ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _____ _____-___-__-____-GrazieAlessio... _ ____-_ _ _____-_ _____

Pros: Great focal length, vintage colors if you like, good brightness 2.8-4, robustness Made in Japan

Cons: Definition by f / 5.6, at the maximum of color abnormalities and aberrations and little accuracy

Opinion: I bought the Sigma 28-105mm Aspherical 1: 2.8-4 lens with Minolta Attack in 2004 in a store and was used. RnThe use on the Minolta 7000 was perfect (especially 28mm wide). Lastly, I bought a Sony A350 used to revitalize the Minolta kit. The Sigma constructive quality is not discussed, it is made in Japan: solid, the handle plastics have remained soft after 13 years. Autofocus is fast and accurate for amateur employment. The 72mm diameter lets you glimpse as much glass inside.rnThe APSC sensor unfortunately misses the shots we would expect from a 28mm wide angle, and the lens shrinks to a pretty standard handset but with good brightness.rn Color rendering it is not at the top, but it may please those who are used to the film. The weak point is the definition of the details. At 28 mm up to 4.5 / 4.5 the center image is not defined precisely, it looks almost "opaque" while on the edges is assindefinite olutamente as well as suffering from aberrations. Everything improves from f / 5.6 on, where details, even at the extremes, regain a good definition and the colors become brighter and loyal. In short, it is very pleasing. Used as portraits, it retains the same defects, but the opacity mentioned above on the sides of the larger apertures could also be a pleasant and distinctive effect in which the center of the portrait is sufficiently defined with deterioration to the margins .rnAbout the good blur.rnRecommended to amateur photographers and for experimentation. An important photo that has to "stay" would not do it with Sigma but with even more modern lenses even cheaper, given the improvements that have been there over time.

Pros: Blurred very nice, the price of used convenience and optimal weight all do

Cons: For the money spent none

Opinion: Purchased for the game on ebay me 'great satisfaction for photos of interiors and portraits at the amateur level, you can not of course be compared to a fixed Nikon (50mm F1.8) has on its ease of use and cost of used really low (if lucky less than 100 €), it sells easily and is used in any situation, I use it accompanied the nikon 18-140 vr that is lower in terms of brightness on the whole but with a much faster af sigmoid

Pros: A F2.8 is soft, good for weddings and baptisms good effect Bokeh, Optical handyman great for street (at least f 5.0 for details), great for portraiture.

Cons: A F2.8 is soft, does not fit where you need a lot of detail, quality details to at least f5.6, great for sports day but at night is not advisable at least from my point of view.

Opinion: Arrived today, this lens tested on the fly to test the softness (you know, for greater openness is more prone to lack of detail.) It performs well AF, presents dial to F manual. The ring for the focus is rightly soft even if bought used, the internal focus, so imperceptible movement outside because inesistente.rnIn Put simply, good for every day, for the interior especially for events such as weddings and baptism I find it sufficient, for sports insufficient if it is used in case of lack of light.
