Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 HSM review

leave a comment »

Oh yeah, coming very soon, just bought the new Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens.  I’ll be comparing it to Canon’s mark 1 24-70mm f2.8 L version and my 24mm prime L series lens.  Leave any comments if you want anything specific from me that I should test.

I bought it from Jacobsdigital for £560 with a coupon.  Normally its £599, which is strange and good value in itself because it retails for £799 elsewhere in the UK.  Normally for me I would buy my gear second hand and normally I would buy Canon L as well.  I had my eyes set on repurchasing the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L which at second hand pricing is between £700-£800.  But I had given it some thought as to whether weatherproofing was worth £200 extra.  All the stories about Sigma’s mis-focusing or quality control are entirely subjective and can’t concern me until I have one in my hands.

Now I have one and a review will come, my housemate has the Canon L version so I have the opportunity for a good review.
