Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8 G comparison review
This review forms part of a series in which we'll be looking at the performance of several 70-200mm F2.8 zooms, using both 35mm full-frame and APS-C format cameras.
Specifically, we'll be investigating how the two well-established 70-200mm F2.8 professional workhorse lenses from Canon and Nikon compare to the latest third party competition, with both Sigma and Tamron releasing new models in the opening months of 2008.

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG HSM
Sigma has today announced a new HSM version of its popular 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG lens. This large aperture standard zoom is considerably more compact than its predecessor, thanks to a brand new optical design which features 14 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical, one ELD and two SLD elements.
The HSM focusing motor promises fast and silent focusing coupled with full-time manual focus, and the minimum focus distance is 38cm allowing a maximum magnification of 1:5.3. The lens will be available in Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts.

Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II review
Of course as one of Sigma's flagship lenses, the 70-200mm F2.8 boasts a suitably complex optical design, featuring 18 elements in 15 groups, two of which are Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) glass and two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass for correction of chromatic aberrations.
Other attractions include internal focusing and zooming mechanisms, and a quick-release tripod mount collar which can be removed from the lens in seconds. On paper at least, this is a lens which might interest a huge number of photographers across a range of abilities; so is it worthy of that interest?

Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6DC EX HSM : Review bythom
Most newcomers to wide angle lenses think that the primary thing that distinguishes them is their angle of view: a wider lens gives you a wider angle of view on a scene. Yes, you can see more "width" through the viewfinder, but that's actually not the real reason why pros tend to gravitate towards "very wide angle" lenses instead of "modestly wide" ones. The real issue is depth...Full Article...Here
Sigma10-20mm Group-
Good review by Thom Hogan and vindicates my choice on buying this lens. Thanks Orb keep up the good work.

Primes - Which one is for you ?
There are many threads at flickr regarding the nifty-fifty and primes in general.
So here are some reviews on the 3 most that seem to pop up.
Sigma AF 30mm f/1.4 EX HSM DC - Test Report / Review
Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4 D - Review / Lab Test Report
Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D - Review / Test Report
Note: That the Sigma 30mm 1.4 HSM is the only that will Autofocus on the D40/D60 range of camera's.
But keep your eyes open for a Nikon 50mm AF-S or Sigma 50mm HSM that are coming down the pike?

Sigma 50mm f/1.4: A new standard?
Sigma bolsters its top-end EX range with the announcement of a HSM focusing-motor-equipped 50mm f/1.4 lens. Offering a moderate telephoto field of view on APS-C cameras, Sigma's DG designation means it will also work as a standard lens on full-frame digital cameras. We believe this is the first time a 50mm f/1.4 lens has been offered with a ring-type focus motor...Read More Here

A "Super-Wide Angle" Lenses Shootout
The APS-C sensor in Nikon digital SLRs has a “crop factor” of 1.5X. Wildlife shooters immediately liked the idea of their 200mm lens having the same angle of view as a 300mm lens.
While the gains in apparent focal length on telephoto lenses were praised by nature shooters, the downside of this “crop factor” was that now your 17-35mm lens lost its “super-wide” ability and became a pedestrian 26-52mm lens.
Many early adopters of digital flocked to their local camera shops to purchase the large (and rather expensive) 14mm Nikkor lens. At least then they had an effective focal length of 21mm; wide enough for some, but not truly “super wide” on a DX format body...Full Shootout...Here

Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG/HSM
Sigma has announced new addition to its digital optimized DG range of zoom lenses in the form of the APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG/HSM. This fast telephoto zoom sports a fixed F2.8 aperture throughout the range, HSM technology for high speed silent focus and four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements. A new 'digitally optimized' coating is claimed to minimize flare and ghosting when used on a D-SLR, and the lens will be available in Sigma AF, Canon EF, Nikon D, Konica Minolta and Pentax AF mounts...Here

Lens Test: Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS AF
The optical image stabilizer is just one of the reasons to love this new zoom for Canon, Nikon and Sigma DSLRs.
