I decided to skip the default included Nikor lens that gets bundled with the D80. I decided to look for a nice 2.8 lens to allow for as much light as possible with my new DSLR. The lens is very light and moves with a nice fluidity when zooming. It takes many standard filters for its' class and is well worth the price. So far it performs on scale with lenses twice it's price. I have had sharp focus from corner to corner and a nice focal range. If you're looking for a nice budget lens for your new DSLR, this should be one.

This lens (28-70mm) has been on my Nikon D50 camera most of the time since purchasing it, even though I have 2 other lenses (50mm and 70-300mm Nikkor). This (Sigma) lens is a full stop faster than the Nikon equivalent (and it is less costly!). It comes with a cool looking lens hood that has a bayonet style fitting to the lens. I rated this 5 stars because it is a great value. I highly recommend this lens for someone who wants to take good pictures and doesn't want to spend a small fortune on a lens. Great value!

Japanese made at a budget price. We wanted an acutal Nikon zoom lense but they were sold out everywhere we looked. Since the Sigma was so inexpensive we decided to try it and use it until the Nikons were back in stock. We were pleasantly surprised and have decided to stick with this lense.

This is a wonderful lens. We use it to take pictures of our martial arts class on a Nikon D80. Overall a great setup for indoor, close up action

Edit: The picture was updated to show the correct lens.

The lens pictured is a Sigma 28-70mm EX (pro-grade) f/2.8. The lens you receive is the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 as said in the description. I needed to use the Amazon A-Z guarantee to get a refund for this lens from 47th street photo. FYI, 47th St. delivers fast but they do not honor their return policy, so if you order from them, I hope you get what you expect!

I was very surprised that it work so great on my Nikon D700 for the price I paid. Auto focus is accurate and fast. You can't go wrong with this one, its a winner.

I use this lens almost constantly on my camera. It is a great lens to have with a nice aperture range. Clarity and color are nice and haven't had any functional problems at all. Its a great lense

I use a Nikon 18-200 zoom lens, and wanted something for closer work, but not too expensive. A friend recommended this lens. The photos I took were excellent, and were a close match to my Nikon lens. I cannot believe that it only sells for less than 80.00. A GREAT bargain!!!!!!

Hey guys & gals--listen up! I have bought dozens of lenses for both Canon and Nikon and ran tests for detail comparison. One of the things that pro publications look for in an image is how the image detail is at 100%. This lens on front of my Nikon D-200 is a detail weapon and outshines any of the Nikon lenses 10 to 1. In fact the detail was so sharp at 100% from edge to edge that I was fooled thinking it was scaled only to 50% so I scaled it
out to 200% and it still looked good. WOW! Try doing that with the new 18-200 VR! That lens was a dog and I sold it on E-bay and refuse to buy any more Nikon lenses.They are overpriced junk!!! Some of these Sigma lenses (like this one for less than a hundred bucks) is a digital dream--especially if your camera has more than 10 megapixels. The other thing that pro printing looks for is excellent dynamic range and no blown out colors. I couldn't believe the color reproduction on this lens.It
was so.............................accurate. Maybe this lens is a freak
I don't know if they are all like this but this one will stay on my Nikon for almost everything I take. Anyone out there with Nikons ought to order this lens just for the price savings alone.

This lens is very cheap for its large aperture, but be warned, it is not very sharp and the auto-focus tends to hunt. If you are photographing as a novice to professional, this lens will not be able to make large prints without you noticing the blurriness in the photos. In 4x6 prints, the lens seems sharp.

The lens feels pretty cheaply made, but does not feel flimsy. There is no lens creep whatsoever.

I have dropped this lens from 4 feet with no damage about a month ago.
