[QUOTE="thegaffney, post: 413746, member: 12353"] I bought a D600 so I had to sell my Nikon 17-55 lens, I bought a 24-85mm lens thinking I would be OK with it and soon missed the 2.8. So I got a Sigma 24-70mm in excellent shape for $520 on ebay ( all I have is Sigma lenses now ) and as soon as I got it I checked to see how it focused. It was focusing WAY too close, even with fine tune all the way up. So I sent it to C.R.I.S. to get a repair quote, and they just came back with $85. They are gonna fix the focusing, update the firmware and clean it. I figured with that and the price of the lens Im still WAY off from the price of a used Nikon 25-70mm, in bad shape. We shall see how good it is now when I get it back, but Id imagine it would work great. All my other Sigma lenses are really good. Just figured id share my thoughts, I googled like crazy trying to see how much other people paid to get the focus re-calibrated on that lens, and couldn't find anything. So maybe this will help someone out one day. [/QUOTE]
