Ok, I sold off my Sigma 10-20mm lens to get this lens instead. Why did I swap lens? Only for the f/2.8 performance in low light situations. Did a quick test just now in my room and the first thing I noticed is that the minimal focusing distance is quite far compared to the Sigma 10-20mm.
More sample pictures to come.
my dream lens! and you got it first… *jealous*
is a good lens, with lots of great comments and congrates, mate!
There are some good sides and bad sides to it 🙂
I traded my Sigma 10-20mm and my older 55-200mm VR lens for this baby 😀
So when are you getting yours?
errr… maybe next year?! but am tempted by 70-200 at the same time, thinking of second flash, second body and etc… how to buy dude? hehehe…
Yeah the 70-200mm is an awesome lens, saving up for that beauty as well. Also super tempted by the D700 as well! 2nd body get the D700 man! I need to sell off one of my other bodies to fund for it 😛
