[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 138155, member: 10447"] Thanks for the reply SH, it sounds like quite a good lens, and at one stage I was going to go with it. But the more research I did, the more it looks like I would like the Nikon 16-85 better, so I am 90% sure that is what I will buy at this stage. At the price of the Sigma, I was hopeful that it would do the job, but if I got it, I think I would always wish I had spent the extra and got the Nikkor instead. I read in one review that the 2.8 was only good to 24mm, once past that you were out to f4 anyway, so probably no faster than the Nikon in most situations. And as you say the AF is slower. So I think I will put it out of my mind and just think of the 16-85. [/QUOTE]
