The Sigma 28-70 f 2.8 zoom although a large lens has many very desireable qualities that I sought in a lens, 1. It is a very fast lens with a constant f 2.8 throughout it's entire zoom range. 2. It can focus down to about 15 inches throughout it's entire zoom range; not like old style & some new less expensive zooms which can only focus to 7 feet. 3. Last but not least it can be used on my Kodak pro 14n but also on either my Nikon F4 or F5 so I find it multi purpose. 4. At a range of 28-70 I find it a very usuable range not exactly the longest range available but very tolerable along with its first two features which I find more desireable for my style of picture taking.
It's a great lens for mid-lit situations, like in a room with normal lighting conditions, but at night, with lamps on, it's still slower than a Nikon 24-70mm with a fixed f/2.8. For the difference in cost, it's a winner. There are only a few things to be concerned about before making the purchase. 1. The focus is a bit loud. 2. The contrast and sharpness is a bit lower quality than a nikon lens 3. The zoom ring turns in the opposite direction compared to nikon and tamaron lenses. 4. There's no manual focus switch on the lens 5. The petal lens hood can be tricky to store on the lens. I think that's about it from my end. I've only had it for 2 days and took it out for some shooting for the first time today. Happy with it so far~
I bought this lens for my D80 It is a very fast lens with a constant f 2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. And it is very fast to focus. Exposure is great at both ends of the focal length and the price was great. This is my first Sigma and I will buy another Sigma again. I am an amateur photographer and this is a great piece of glass, it make me look like i know what i doing and take great pictures Thanks Texan
Very happy with this lens. Bought it for my Nikon D 200 and it is very fast to focus. Exposure is great at both ends of the focal length and the price was great. This is one of two Sigma lenses that I own and I am thrilled with both of them.
Very sturdy. Especially, liked metal hood.
