Anyone Using 24-70mm Sigma DG Macro On FX Nikon?

[psenior1]

I've been asked to take some pics at a kids party this weekend and I've got a gaping hole in my lens line up with nothing below 50mm (have 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8 and 70-200vr)

I've seen that Jessops are doing the Sigma 24-70mm DG Macro for £350 on Nikon mount, but am put off a little by the mixed opinions...

My other option is a 35mm F2, not sure what to do - but I need to make my mind up pretty quick!...

if you're buying from jessops they have a 30 day money back policy so you can try it and take it back if you're not happy , I had the older non macro and it was great

not a bad idea that, I've reserved one for pick up on the way home

ive got the 35 and love it but not sure it would give you the flexibility you may need indoors for a party

Not too sure if it helps but i run one as my walkabout on a D300 and love it.

I use one on my D300 and its fantastic but more significantly for you, I also have a very good friend using one on is D700 and he is equally impressed.

I love mine on my D700. It's my most used lens with plenty of width for most "normal" uses (and I've got the 12-24 for more "abnormal" width) as well as a wide enough aperture to cope with indoor shooting, especially when combined with the low light capabilities of the FX sensor.
