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.
