www.whatdigitalcamera.com‘s review Edit

Overall, Sigma’s 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom is lighter, more compact and considerably less costly than Canon’s, Nikon’s and Sony’s equivalent zooms. It is also a pleasure to use and returns some excellent results. It isn’t perfect but it is a fine lens that is definitely worthy of consideration by anybody who is in the market for a pro-spec, full-frame standard zoom.

Depending on what you're looking for, the Sigma 24-70mm ƒ/2.8 is a good lens - especially if you're looking to save money. While it doesn't provide the same corner-to-corner sharpness wide open (and even stopped down, to some degree), it performs extremely well on sub-frame cameras, though the resulting effective focal length is of questionable usefulness (38-112mm Canon, 36-105mm others). So, the lens has its issues when used wide open: pronounced corner softness and chromatic aberration in the corners, as well as intense corner shading. If you'll be using this lens stopped down, these issues are less of a concern, but if you need excellent performance in any of these areas at ƒ/2.8, you may want to invest in more expensive glass.

So in summary, if you were after a high performance f/2.8 lens, you may find better performance elsewhere. On the other hand, if your photography allows you to stop down to f/4 or smaller much of the time, then this lens is a superb performer.
