Brightcolours, if I read you well, you write a lot on all possible SLRs/glass combinations out there! Without first hand experience as I understand - since that is a paragon of an unbiased opinion.. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

And seriously, Vieux loup asked mostly whether it makes any sense to pay premium price for the N 24-70 in the context of cheaper alternatives, right ? I'd say yes and part of the answer is already here on Photozone where you can see the tests. The part that has to do with real everyday usage of the N 24-70 is the one that I'm trying to address, just telling about my experience, some of it at least. At the same time I still stubbornly insist on TRYING out the Nikkor together with other alternatives if possible - for oneself. That's the equivalent for saying : the Nikon 24-70 works for me like a charm but please see it does as well for you..
Vieux loup - the Sigma Pro Centers have a policy to rent the lenses for a small fee, so if you have a chance to talk to your Nikon dealer about renting the Nikkor as well you might do a quick test for yourself, I mean right on the street to see where the differences are and then you can consider what is right or not for You.
