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: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.
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
