Let's face the facts. This is not a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L and if you expect it to be, than you will be disappointed. If you want a very good 24-70mm f2.8, that preforms very well, this is it! It is not weather proof. It misses focus occasionally. f2.8 is not as sharp as f4 on.
Pros:
- Price
Cons:
- If you are expecting a Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L
- forget it

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM Review
Sigma's pro-spec 24-70mm f2.8 full-frame zoom lens is available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony and Sigma mounts, and was tested here in conjunction with a Nikon D700 (full-frame) body. The first thing to note about Sigma's 24-70mm f2.8 lens is its considerably lower cost than other premium zooms.

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM - Nikon Mount Lens
I decided to write this review for two main reasons: 1. Before deciding to spend an important amount of money in a 24-70mm standard zoom lens, I did myself a lot of searching and reading on internet. Unfortunately there are very few reviews about this exact product. 2.

Very nice lens
I did find that I had to adjust for back focus on my D300. When I did that it was tack sharp.
Pros:
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM
I couldn't afford the 24-70 MM L from Canon so after reading some solid reviews I decided to "settle" on the Sigma. That's a bit unfair as the Sigma is an excellent lens. Even though the Canon is sharper on a full frame (I use this lens on my 5d), the reality is most brides and grooms aren't looking...
Pros:
- HSM
- Constant 2.8
- Build Quality
Cons:
- Softness in the corners until 7.1

Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 IF EX DG HSM - Nikon
I know that the Quality Assurance at Sigma is questionable but this lens was extremely poor even by their standards. I have previously owned Sigma's 100-300mm f4 and their 150mm f2.8 lenses which were very good and I could not fault them at all, but this 24-70mm HSM was appalling!
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Blurry Focus
- Flare Ghosting

Great lens
For general use: portraits, landscaping, etc. Pros: Sturdy and well constructed, not loose or cheap feel. Cons: big, huge (and expensive) filter.

I am NEVER disappointed with Sigma lenses. NEVER!
I just purchased a D700 and needed this range. I had a Sigma for my D300 but that wasn't full frame. Since I really liked the Sigma on my D300 I decided to go with Sigma again. I was not disappointed.
