lahtac_nin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 i would like to get a 28-70 f2.8 lens for a nikon f5, i was thinking about the sigma 28-70 f2.8 d, has anyone had any experience with this lens, or are there any better lens like it in the same price range..

harvey_edelstein1 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm with the previous 3 posts, the Tamron gets great results, go to flickr and put in a search for Tamron 28-75. Other than that if you have the money the Nikon 24-85mm F2.8-4.0 is a great lens bigger but with more zoom range coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoine_morin Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The copy of the Sigma EX DG I had was soft wide open but with very nice bokeh. Autofocus was sluggish on D70, S2, and D200 but would probably be fine on F5. I replaced the Sigma by a Nikon AFS 24-85/3.5-4.5. Full frame, sharper, much smaller and faster AF. A real sleeper you can find for about $200 used. You may find the distortion at the wide end too much for a film body though (not really an issue on digital where it can easily be corrected). At the long end and stopped down a stop, my copy is as good as the 85mm primes I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
