Sigma 24-70 F/2.8 sample pics

The latest lens that I have purchased to add to my collection is the Sigma 24-70 F/2.8 sample pics....I will need to to a proper comparison with my Tamron 28-75F/2.8 but so far I am liking the images put out by this beast...
My biggest and really only complaint is that it is slow to focus...Likely as was pointed out to me by Peter because it is turning allot of heavy glass...This is a beast...
All the exif is intact...ALL PICS WHERE SHOT HAND HELD

Here is a picture of the beast....

That lens is a monster! Wow! The pictures look great. Excellent color in all of them.

Slow AF is why I returned my 80-400 and bought the Canon 100-100 L IS instead.
I learned from that and have the Canon 24-70 L.

If it weren't for motorsport, I'd find the Sigma acceptable.
But their AF just isn't fast enough for me.

Oh yea...This lens would never fly covering motorsports....You know it did not dawn on me to invite you over to our place here in L.A. while you where in Vegas...i believe you would have enjoyed the dyno testing we have going on here...Next time, let me know.

Oh, thanks Javier - that would be a great side trip !

We'll be out for PMA'09 - if John still wants me to help with the coverage.

Paul, If your down here again, you need to visit us...We are about 2 1/2 hour drive from vegas.
