It struck me yesterday as I shot with my D90 and 50 1.8 that I really need to get the 24-70mm 2.8 as my "everyday lens." Since I am not planning to upgrade to FX any time soon, I really need fast glass and with the crop factor, to get wide enough I really need to go at least down to 24mm. Otherwise, I really find myself struggling. My widest lenses are the 35 1.8, 18-200 3.5/5.6, and the 18-55 3.5/5.6 kit lens. Each has its own issues that have been discussed extensively in this forum.
I found several Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 used on KEH for under $400. Seems like a pretty good price, but the reviews are hit or miss. I know nothing of the Tamron equivalent....except that it's starting to get pricey too.
So, if one was in the market for a 24-70 or other sharp, fast lens, what would you recommend?
