The Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF is one of several new products to be introduced at PMA 2001 by Sigma Corporation of Japan (2-3-15, lwado-Minami, Komae-shi, Tokyo) This lens covers focal lengths from 24mm ultra wide angle to 70mm medium telephoto and provides a large f2.8 aperture at all focal lengths. Its design employs three (3) aspherical lens elements to minimize spherical aberration, astigmatism and sagittal comma flare. The use of two (2) SLD (The Special Low Dispersion) glass elements results in excellent correction of chromatic aberration and provides a high level of optical performance and 24-70rnm F2.8 EX ASPHERICAL DG DF has high contrast and resolution. The lens also incorporates Dual Focus mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto focusing, and yet provides a wide focus ring for easy to use manual focus. Since the front of the lens does not rotate, it allows the use of a flower shaped "Perfect Hood" and facilities

Comments about Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF Autofocus Lens For Nikon:

This is a great lens for 1/4 the price of the nikon brand lens. It has allowed me to do things I've only dreamed about. Combine this with new ISO settings and there is almost no shot that can't be had with natural light. My only complaint is that the lens seemed to be built for canon then switched to nikon, so the "zoom by turning" takes a little to get used to. With the money I saved over the nikon I can now purchase a good fish eye or advertise.

Comments about Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF Autofocus Lens For Nikon:

I purchased the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 for Nikon from Abe's of Maine without a problem. I bought this lens to replace the 18-70mm Nikon lens that came as part of my Nikon D70 kit. I’ve since upgraded to the Nikon D300 and wanted an everyday lens that would be suitable in low light without the hefty price of a comparable Nikon lens—the Sigma fit the bill!This is a great lens and I know I’ll get many years of use. I took it out a couple of days ago and I’m pleased with the results. I made a couple of other purchases from Abe’s of Maine in the past and like my previous purchases, I had no problems. Though I’ve read about some bad experiences with Abe’s I have nothing but praise for their professionalism. I received a call from one of their salesmen soon after I placed my online order. He wanted to verify my [...] and I’m glad he did, it gave me a chance to make a correction. He did offer to sell me a Tiffen filter kit but I declined. I didn’t feel like he was pressuring me—he’s a salesman for goodness sake!I would not hesitate making another purchase from Abe’s again.

I'm a big Sigma fan so it was this lens was a natural choice for a fast standard zoom. I thought that I had a focusing problem but realized that I had the lens in between manual and auto.I took the lens out this past Saturday to try it out and I'm pleased with the results.[...]
