Great price for anybody looking for a fast walkaround lens, I've just ordered one to replace my 17-85is, just gone out of stock for home delivery now but still available collect in store next cheapest price on Camera Price buster was Jacobs which is £50 more. Us voucher code Xmas10 to get this price. Canon & Nikon fits available http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/products/Sigma/24-70mm%20f2.8%20EX%20DG%20Macro%20(Canon%20AF)-28147/Show.html

Woohoo just recieved a text to tell me my order is available to collect now probably won't collect it until tomorrow though

Hope this helps some people.

Compared to the Canon L? I wanted the Canon L but couldn't budget the price! This looks interesting.

Does it work on FF?

Ditto. I cant see it being near the quality tbh, its 4 times cheaper than the Canon.

DG lenses do, is the DC ones that don't.

Use code 'ootd5' 5% off for £223.15 and another 3% off via one of the cash back sites. May only be a £ or so but your monies better off in your pocket rather than in their tills.

Yeah this is what I thought. It's a shame it's so tough to get a f/2.8 zoom lens of decent quality without needing a second mortgage =/

Thanks for that, mate. I'm a Canon/Tokina person so I'm not sure on all the lingo jingo with the Sigma

Been doing a bit of reading this morning before ordering yes it's not quite as good as it's Canon equivelent but seems it's a very good Lens for the price if you get a good copy if not send it to Sigma to get it recalibrated might be a bit of a pain but well worth the cost saving, pretty sure its FF compatible to I'm sure Sigma lenses have DC in the name if they are crop body only.
