Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM review by dkmiles
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

REVIEW: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM
Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at Sigma's flagship standard zoom lens for full-frame cameras. Sigma's 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM sports a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range and silent HSM focusing.
Pros:
- Excellent optical performance stopped down to f/4 and below
- Good build quality
- Fast autofocus
Cons:
- Resolution at maximum aperture at focal lengths beyond 35mm
- Barrel Distortion at 24mm

lens is one that has been praised by every photographer who picks it up. The only issues that some people find with the lens is that it is heavy, large, and expensive at around $1,700.

For this high price I expect highest quality from f 2,8 and not middle quality up to f 8 My cheap soligor 3,5-4,5/28-70 is when stopped down to f4,5 much more sharper in the corners on 28mm. Too many plastic elements therein
Pros:
- stopped down a few quite good optical qualities in the center colors and cantrast really ok
Cons:
- the corners are not real sharp in infinity position I testet f 4,5 on 28mm:stong chromatic aberrations in the corners and double contures
- not to use for big posters of architecture without intensive sharpening by photoshop because of these mistakes

Also included is the full-time manual over-ride allowing instant control in low-light situations. Whether you're shooting in fast paced situations or low light situations this lens can handle it.

Could not focus properly with my D7000
The lens felt solid and balanced well with my D7000 but I could not get good results with my D7000. The focus was hit and miss but mainly miss. I contacted Sigma directly after I returned the first lens to Adorama but they weren't much help.

Great Lens; but I got it off EhBay
47th street photo was good on the phone; I went directly to them and used their RMA not newegg's. The first time.
Pros:
- Great lens
- at least the one off EhBay
Cons:
- The first Canon I ordered was out of stock
- then I was sent a Pentax 3 times
