I'm not familiar with that specific lens, but two things occur to me.
(1) Expensive camera plus cheap lens = bad results. Cheap camera plus expensive lens = good results. It seems a bit odd to have a great camera like that and stick a £99 lens on the front.
(2) For portraits you generally want fast apertures. That lens is only f/4 at the long end. You'd do better looking for an f/2.8 or f/2 lens.

The lens is used hence the price.
Im not too familiar with the Sigma range to be honest so I wasnt sure if
this was a decent lens for the price.
I also have a Sigma 70-200 2.8 which im currently using.
Distance is a problem at home hence the focal range rqd.
I can get full body shots with my Sigma 24-60 but its not the sharpest
lens & I find myself heading down the hallway with the 70-200.

If you are complaining that your 24-60 is not the sharpest lens then you will probably use that 28-105 precisely once.
I had one, I used it once and the poor quality was in comparison to the Canon 28-105mm Mk2 I also had (and still have!)
