Hi, is anyone tried Sigma 24-60 on Nikon D70? is the focus working fine? how was the picture quality?

regards

Picture quality wise its about the same as the 24-70, but be warned, the zoom ring is REALLY STIFF. I would take the compact 18-50 F2.8 Sigma over this for just a bit more of your money. Much better handling and better range.

Price about 800++ with GST, shop opposite CP. Lucky I said that I may not purchase the lens before view, just imagine his reaction he suddenly clam up and said that its an expensive item and that I cannot handle it.

Guess will stick to reputable shops instead.

hi, i bought this lens already. Overall is okie but the colour of the photo will be more towards warm. The zoom ring is stiff but it is still okie for me. I bought this also because it is using 77mm filter. (All my lens now is using 77mm filter)
