What lens to buy?

[robshaw]

Hi all. Im just on my way to New York for a weeks holiday. Im hoping to visit the famous B&H Photo and Video (Im becoming a regular there) and purchase a Nikon 24 70 f2.8. But I will be pushing my finances a little bit despite the cheaper price tag. I was wondering if any of you could advise me on maybe a cheaper alternative to this? Im not a pro. Just a hobbyist.

The Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro is fantastic lens. The reviews all say it is the sharpest of Sigmas lenses. One review even says it is faultless! I am certainly very happy with mine.
