I purchased this lens as an upgrade from my 24-70 2.8 and wasn't satisfied at all. The images from this lens weren't sharp at all. The lens was much bigger and heavier. The filter size is also different so if you had filters for the old, you'd have to buy new ones. Definitely not worth the money. Complete downgrade is quality.

It's always a question when. Buying expensive lenses whether you should buy Nikon or another brand such as Tamron or a Sigma. Well all I can say is spend that extra money and you'll be blown away. The nano coat glass makes this lens so clear. The focus system is so fast, it makes me feel my old nikon setup was complete garbage. I'll stick with Nikon glass forever.
