Relatively decent but still no greatness in this class.

Thanks for the review, Klaus.



Not much discussion on this one, though - I thought it was the lens that got such glowing reviews on the Nikon mount? It's pity, because I was thinking this would be a cheap and cheerful alternative to the Canon 24-70.

If not for the awful field curvature issue, the Canon lens will have been the best among the various 24-70. Oh, add poor QC to the problem...



I notice that my 10-22 has field curvature issues too...

The Nikon version was actually worse.

Duh! Silly me. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />



I was thinking of the other Sigma 24-70 (macro) which got 4 stars. I'd be interested to know how it performs on full frame, though.
