Just had a look at the 17-35mm f2.8-4 DG Flickr group and it looks good to meOh sh1t that's not so good, I'm hoping that's only on the Cannon and that it will be better on Nikon, ever the optimist Ay.

Okay - how do you find the Siggy?I got one but can't compare as i never used a 24-120 [emoji53]
I don't really understand a lot of these test reports, this is the one by dxomark that I looked at and it seemed to be quite complimentary.I'm sure it'll be fine, tests can be misleading and as twist says there's sample variation.
Anyone used the Sigma 24-105 f4? How does it compare to the Nikon 24-120?
I find just looking at a sample pool more useful than scores TBH. Scores can be useful, but they tell you little about how a lens renders, what the colours are like etc etc. Sift through enough sample images and you start to build a picture of what a lens is like. Obviously you'll see some stunners, some shockers, and everything else in betweenI don't really understand a lot of these test reports, this is the one by dxomark that I looked at and it seemed to be quite complimentary.

Again this is where tests can be misleading. DXO once more haven't tested the Sigma on Nikon, but in the 5D4 it scores a lot higher than the 24-120mm on the D750. But if you look at this, the Nikon looks sharper to me wide open at the long end, and that's with 15mm more reach. At 24mm it's pretty equal IMO, although the Nikon shows a lot more CA (can't say I've noticed this particularly on mine). Again though it's not comparing the same camera.Gets decent enough reviews. Some say better than the Nikon, but depends if you want the extra reach. Similar sizes with the Siggy a tad heavier.
Cheers. It'd be replacing the 24--85mm, so I'd be getting 20 more mm anyway which, according to my wife, is quite a lot.Gets decent enough reviews. Some say better than the Nikon, but depends if you want the extra reach. Similar sizes with the Siggy a tad heavier.
I don't find them, I buy them [emoji13] [emoji12]Okay - how do you find the Siggy?

I've heard mixed reports about the 24-120mm f4, and after chatting to someone whilst out taking landscapes I gave it a wide berth for a while. However, I decided to buy one eventually and glad I did as I've been very impressed with mine. Whether I've just got a good copy I don't know, but I like it Few examples taken with my 24-120mmYes have had two of them, one on the D750 and one before Christmas on my D810. I like the feel/look of Sigma lenses at present, but I have found some focus inconsistencies on them both, along with the 24-35mm f2 and found them hard MFA even with the dock..... I would get them good at one length and then knock it slowly out at the opposite length. I have also had three Nikon 24-120mm f4 and the first two (on D750) I thought they were just okay lenses, but the last one I had (on D810) was the best, but like a t*** I sold it and have regretted it. So in summary, the Nikon versions pips it for me, but I do prefer the contrast more with Sigma lenses.
Dunno TBH, I'm away from the computer so will check later.@snerkler Like I said the last 24-120mm f4 I had on the D810 was excellent at all focal lengths, compared to the previous two which were just okay for me.
A large crop at the far(ish) end at 110mm and wide open at f4, you can count the eyelashes easily.
What your last photo like, the bride, when cropped in tight on the eye?

Yes. Have you learnt about plane of focus yet that I mentioned when commenting on the pic you took of the dog bone on the D500 thread?But how did he get both i.e. in focus is it cos dog looking straight on

Had a quick play with the D500 yesterday, didn't get on with the grip compared to the D750, felt more like the D810 which just didn't feel right with my knackered hand. At least it's put that bit of GAS for a 'backup' crop body to bed

Really nice shots, think you've done really well. What did B&G think?

Thanks chaps, seemed really pleased yesterday, were really happy with how I managed it during the day too They want an album so a bit more to do yet, but I had a fancy USB done for them with a slideshow and a dozen prints to give them an idea. Actually enjoyed doing this one, I think the workflow is a little better these days.
The key is enjoying it, I didn't relax on my first couple but did for the last one and the difference in pictures is massive!
Photography competition, or...?I'm shooting at 12:40 today first competition since September last year. Hate shooting in the wet. Not looking forward to it. But it's got to be done as I've got a busy competition year ahead of me. So need to split my time [emoji20]
