Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF-EX DG HSM (Nikon mount)
As and alternative to Nikon's legendary 24-70mm f/2.8 which costs quite a lot, this can be your perfect professional companian, giving you the same focal length range. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, you can easily shoot in low light, as well as to give some bokeh to your images. Sigma calls this lens an 'IF' lens, meaning internal focus. The lens will not change in overall length when focus, nor rotating the front element, unlike some cheap kit lenses. With a HSM motor built into the lens itself, it will work on all Nikon DSLR, even on ones which lack a built-in body motor.
Sigma has smartly used their popular SLD, ELD and aspherical glass elements to reduce flare and ghosting, providing you with a more clean image. What's more, this is a 'DG' lens in Sigma terms, meaning it will work on both DX and FX format cameras. In this case, you will not have to worry about selling this lovable lens when switching to full frame.
Well, the big thing is this! This Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 lens costs less than half than the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 USM, but is actually a bit sharper in the corners than the Canon version at 70mm zoom. But why do people still buy the Canon? Well, some people may not know this news, and some may prefer their 77mm filter diameter, instead of this 82mm, which its filters may be a bit expensive.
However, a 82mm UV filter will be to you as a gift if you buy this 2nd hand lens!
