One of the most elegant lenses created by any manufacture. I love Sigmas new desigNonen and finish. Optically this lens is Sharper than any 35 lens I have owned. I have owned both the Canon and Nikon.

This is one of the most versatile and best zooms I have owned. Wonderfully sharp at all apertures especially from F3.2 up. This lens takes both the Sigma 1.4 and 2.0 TC extremely well.

What can I say coming from Canon and owning a 1D Mk III and 1Ds MK III all I have to say is wow. This Camera is a machine. It is so easy to use it took me zero time to get use to the ergonomics of Nikon. The image quality is simply incredible I am blown away each time I review my photos. The Canon's were both excellent cameras and the main reason for switching was to make it easier with my business partner who also shoots Nikon. I would highly recommend any of the three cameras I listed above but if you want the best you will need to step and purchase the D3x.

All the bad press this camera has recieved

This is one of the best Cameras on the market today. All the bad press from the infamous auto focus issues has left many people with a bad taste in there mouth. This IMHO is the best all around camera. The Images this camera produces are magical. Combine that with its incredible High ISO ability 1.3 sensor, and lighting fast and accurate autofocus in low lowlight makes this camera the perfect camera for Sports, wildlife, weddings and studio.

This camera is unbelievable. The resolutions and colors out of camera are second to none. I own both the 1Ds MK III and 1D MK III my MK III has been relegated to limited duty. The high ISO noise of the 21mp RAW files if exposed correctly are absolutely unbelievable. ISO 3200 is equal to my MK III in all areas.

I love everything about this lens. I was a little apprehensive at first to throw down 1700.00 on this lens. After a couple days of shooting with it I was amazed with he images this lens produced. Between F 1.2 and F4 there is no lens better.

I love this lens. It may never leave my MK III. To me this is the perfect focal length on a 1.3 to FF camera.
