Pros: Fast and accurate AF, usable focal range, sharp at 24 mm (fully comparable wqith primes), effective VR
Cons: Brutal vignetting wide open (not so easy to remove), less sharp within 80-105mm focal range
Opinion: Not a bad value for money, but brutal vignetting wide open and f4 is limiting factors. At the end of the day, it is better to use a prime lenses :) Fast and accurate AF, usable focal range, sharp at 24 mm (fully comparable wqith primes), effective VR, less sharp within 80-105mm focal range. Otherwise, bokeh is quite pleasing, although not much pronounced due to the f4.

Cons:weight, inverted zoom rotation compared to sony and tamron, visibly dark corners at 24mm
Opinion:Combined with the Sony A99, great all-rounder lens for ff, excellent image quality for the price at which it lends itself, in hand looks solid and well done, silent and the flare seems to have disappeared compared to the optics I own. a little pesantuccio if you turn in the mountains or at some event, the f4 does not allow me to work well indoors with little light, but outdoors offers really formidable lights and colors.still I have not digested the wheel of the zoom that rotates in the opposite direction to all the Sony and Tamron optics (I don't know if nikon and canon rotate in that direction) but it's really annoying and makes you waste a lot of time and position of the hand. the best photos I've taken for now I've got from f8 to f11, with a really high quality. Congratulations Sigma. the focus is quiet and effective, always, not very fast though.
Pros:With my Nikon D3 an unbeatable pairing! Finally a plastic-free lens, entirely in metal and made in Japan and not in China or Malaysia; Nikon, LEARN! Taking it in hand you understand right away that you have to deal with something serious. Other than Nikon, it costs almost half of the equivalent................
Cons:Not having bought it before
Opinion:Really good stabilization; AF rapid, precise, no mistake a shot; It's a real blade. Used indoors or outdoors, little changes; If I need one more stop, just play on the ISO. Sharply, for me, superior to the Nikon 24/120 F4, tried and held for a few days as mushy and not pleasing to my liking. When I make a portrait, freehand, Croppando the file, I can count the hair of the subject. Too bad I didn't buy it before. I can compare it to the Zeiss I have on the Sony RX10 M3 and which I am very satisfied. A great goal, heavy, but very valuable. Other than Nikon 24/120......... TRY TO BELIEVE. RATED 9.6
Pros:Sharpness and resolve impressive detail, rapid and precise autofocus, blurred splendid at F4, great chromatic rendition and Microcontrast. Excellent value for money. No problem front-back focus in my copy (as I read a fortune considering how they suffer on average Sigma). Excellent stabilization. Building that looks of great quality.
Cons:A heavy cons, and I'm not finding solution: it consumes a LOT of battery. Vignetting and distortion marked at certain focal lengths, but completely resolvable in one click Via software (and it seems to me to be quite correct also in JPGs from D800).
Opinion:In some ways it's more or less one of the best lenses I remember shooting at Nikon, although I haven't tested several sacred monsters yet. But, to say, it seems to me even better than the 24-70/2.8 that I got to briefly lend me a while ago, not to mention the Nikon 24-120. And my beloved and abused 28-300 does not stand the comparison except towards F9/F10. The 50 1.4 is sharp in the same way but with much more difficult autofocus. Risolvenza detail (on the 36 mpx of D800) and sharpness are at levels to remain open-mouthed. In Some shots you don't even need to give sharpening in post beyond the little given by default from Raw Converters. In particular, it seems to me, at F 6.3/F 7.1, but up to all F9/F10. At F4 not only the sharpness seems to me more than valid, albeit slightly lower, but appear in the appropriate fuzzy conditions and bokeh that do not regret more emblazoned lenses on the subject (the bokeh has some imperfection like "Onion Ring" but it is beautiful). The stabilizer works fine, most of the shots at 105 mm are also saved at 1/15 (approx. 3 stops) and sometimes even slower. The Autofocus is fast and accurate, it goes where I want without errors, and in my copy there is no trace of front-back focus. Less than 50 mm and even more less than 35 appears a marked vignetting, small but aggressive, dark; But the software solves it in a click, and apparently I also see the firmware of the machine if you shoot jpg. Same thing for chromatic aberrations, however not particularly invasive. Let's go to the real flaw. Heavy. This Lens literally PHAGOCYTE the battery! As Several other sources have reported, it is as if it remains perpetually in operation (it is not necessary to lower the focus time from the menu C2). In the last exit, after a HUNDRED shots, the battery of the D800 had fallen to 35%! We Are talking about a battery that otherwise also holds the quadruple before falling to such a level. And I'm not particularly worn out. Given that I have not bought the USB Dock, there are currently firmware updates for Nikon, and considering that the D800 I have the latest version (1.11)... The problem is for now unsolvable! Or rather... It resolves in an uneconomical way by buying a couple of spare batteries, which I have never needed to do so far. Or by turning off the machine frequently while you are running around (risky, you risk losing shots). Patience. The game is worth the candle. Just then look at the results, and you will forgive. Rating: 9 (that would be 10 without the battery thing).
Cons:A tad soft at F4 on all focal-over distortion at 24mm
Opinion:Received just today, tried and tested on Nikon 810 outdoor and home FA F4 at F/8. The stabilization is quite effective, just as I have to say the speed of focus... At 24mm expresses its best (at the center above all, at 35mm 50mm and 70mm it maintains on acceptable levels and suffers a live drop at 105... A f4 is soft on all focal lengths, dramatically improves from F5, 6 to F8... Despite its maximum aperture at F4 enjoys a discreet bokeh... I don't even dream of comparing it to the fixed of the same house 24mm 35mm 50mm 85mm 105mm... Their sharpness, despite the absence of stabilization, is unparalleled. Considering its cost €800.00 (1 year warranty) is a good compromise. Basically 5 goals in one is what to say... I'll use it on the street and on the road and will be, in this profile, I am very sure, a good companion... As soon as possible, I want to have the pleasure of adding new impressions. As I zoom all do I feel I attribute to this optics a discrete 9 dry.. Return today from Lake Maggiore and, after having squeezed this goal, I confirm what already stated and add with extreme pleasure, which at 24mm has really enchanted me and satisfied... Three-dimensionality, contrasts and significant sharpness... I rectify my 9 dry, but a nice 9.6 definitely deserves it
