Sigma 28-70 F2.8 ex

[Gixasix]

Has anyone got one?

Considering buying one to use at gigs but would like to hear what other people think of it before i get it! Either that or any other suggestions for a lens with a bit more reach than what i've got without breaking the bank!

My current gig lenses are a 17-35 2.8-4 and nifty fifty.

I have one and love it to bits, its big, heavy, sharp and awesome!

Alot of my recent photos on Flikr were taken with it..

Another great lens is the Tamron 17-50 2.8, not as big and heavy but just as good IQ wise..

Thanks dizzledazzle you've got some great shots there!

Time to go shopping me thinks

If your buying in store, i would try out a few as they have been known to have issues, some can be quite soft, you will know when you have a good one though as they really are super sharp!
