I bought a used copy of this lens a few years ago then 'flipped' it a few months later. I decided to buy it again a few days ago but finally got a chance to take it out of the box last night and play with it for a few minutes..
It passed the 'Auto Focus puppy test' with flying colors.. I've always liked Sigmas HSM AF speed. This one kept up with my puppy without issue (granted... English Bulldogs aren't known for their speed).
( D7100| 1/5000 sec | f/3.5 | ISO 320 @ 50mm)
Other then puppy shots i only did some focus tests (something you always want to do when buying a new Sigma lens ). Just like my last copy it seems nice and sharp. I'm not sure why the bokeh in the image above is so bad, maybe the harsh afternoon light and my random camera settings.. I'll post some other pictures that show its not that horrible when i get home (don't judge it from that picture ).
It's a lens i don't really need... but regretted selling. Besides... buying another DX lens will guarantee Nikon to release a D800 upgrade i won't be able to resist
