Sigma AF 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM

Works exactly as it should

This lens is definitely the affordable option to the manufacturer's 24-70mm. It produces adequately sharp images in all types of light. I'm impressed with the image quality. The lens itself is huge and heavy.

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM Review

The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM is the least expensive lens of its type, but its performance is not up to snuff. On paper, the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM ($899 direct)($1,099.00 at Amazon) is an appealing alternative to similar full-frame zoom lenses.
