5.0 out of 5 stars A very good lens, October 5, 2006

I took a look a this lens almost as a fluke -- I wanted something that gave me quick speed at 2.8 but had more range than than the prime standard 50/1.8...and I was so pleased with the lens I have used it quite a bit more than I thought I would. The quality of the photos is excellent, good colors, good contrast. The lens is relatively light (less than a pound) so it "feels good" on the body. Compare this lens to the Tamron 17-50/2.8 They are virtually identical. This is a supurb replacement for your standard kit lens.

I use this lens on my Nikon D70. It's great. Before I bought it, I thought I should get a lens with better range, example, the Nikon 18-200mm lens. My friend had told me about this one, so I decided to buy it for the heckuvit. I was glad I did. The range isn't a big deal now, but the only problem is--umm--uhh--I can't really think of any problems I've had with this lens, besides the fact that I all of my lenses, I use this one the most, and I paid all that money for the other lenses! Trust me, it's great.

I bought this lens because my REAL Nikon film lenses did not perform well with my new digital SLR. To make the whole story short, I had invested $1400 in a digital SLR in hopes that I could use my Nikon lenses. But to my surprise...those lenses didn't perform well at all. So I took a chance on this Sigma lens (after reading the reviews of course). It was the least expensive lens in my bag but it gave the best result. The images were very sharp with good colors and detail. Again, thanks to those who took the time to write the earlier reviews. They had helped me tremendously.
