Fantastic Lens

The lens is great for the Price, I am using it on my D90. I would imagine if you have a tendency to drop cameras your lens might not perform up to your expectations. On the D90, there is no searching, vigenetting, artifacts, all pictures I have taken with this lens have come out just as good as with my 135 2.8.

Janky [*]

I DO NOT LIKE my 28-70 lens. It's alright if you have no other choice. My camera fell, not even ON the lens but the lens got messed up...not the camera who took the brunt of the tiny fall...the lens. I'm not happy with the sharpness. I'm not happy with it's focusing. Have I taken some decent photos with it...yes, but only because it's the only wider angle lens I have now. I can NOT wait to buy a new lens. I got saddled with this [*] holster when I bought my D70. It's a janky [*]...I would NEVER buy another Sigma Lens after this. I have a zoom as well from Sigma, (came with the camera) and it's quality is poor too. Thanks Sigma for making [*] lenses...

Good lens at a good price

I enjoyed using this lens form the start. I would not necessarily use it for closeup or critical nature work. I like it primarily for birthdays, urban people shooting, etc. My Nikon N-80 does have a tendency to search quite a bit with this lens, that I don't find in other (including other Sigma) lenses.

Fantastic Lens

By Drew

The lens is great for the Price, I am using it on my D90. I would imagine if you have a tendency to drop cameras your lens might not perform up to your expectations. On the D90, there is no searching, vigenetting, artifacts, all pictures I have taken with this lens have come out just as good as with my 135 2.8.

This is the world's smallest, large and constant aperture zoom lens and is idealfor digital SLR cameras. The power layout of the lens is specially optimized fordigital SLR cameras, and Super Multi Coating gives superb color performance whilst cutting down flare and ghost.

Two SLD elements and four aspherical lenses provide the ultimate correction against distortion as well as all types of aberration, especially spherical aberration. Its advanced optical design ensures high performance throughout the entire zoom range.

The use of aspherical lenses in the construction of this lens not only corrects aberrations but also produces a very small and lightweight lens design. Its compact, yet robust, construction has an overall length of 87.2mm (3.4in.), maximum diameter of 74mm (2.9in.), filter size of f67mm and weight of 510g(18.0 ounces). It has a minimum focusing distance of 33cm (13 in.) at all focal lengths and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.4 which is very convenient for close-up photography.

The inner focus system allows the lens to be focused without rotating the front element, therefore a Petal-type hood and circular polarizing filters can easily be used.
