thanks ill try it out
But don't take my word for it. If you have access to a camera shop that will let you rent, then do that. Try it out before you buy it. I for one Like to keep with the Nikon/Nikkor theme.

yeah definitely. for that reason i havent bought any off-brand lens. nobody knows their own cameras/optics better than nikon. ive read that tokina makes some pretty good lenses, but with with sigma and tamron, it will never be as good as a nikon lens. you get what you pay for

This is the main reason that's stopping me from getting the D700/D3s. I really enjoy this lens. But, I really want to get my hands on a D700 or wait for the up dated version of the 700 to really consider getting one, full frame.

man, you actually considered getting a d3? :headbang2 thats just a wet dream for me hahah. no way id be able to spend that much on one. just the d700 and the 24-70mm f/2.8 is like $4k :wall: good thing the 70-200mm works perfect on FF

70-200mm will be the only lens I well have. And drop another 1.7k on a 24-70....I'll make my final decision after the Australia Trip this October.
