Selling one of my lenses, the Sigma 24-70 2.8 EX DG Macro. I hate to part with it, but I haven't used it much since getting the Samyang 85 1.4 and there's a couple of bills that I was not expecting (moved houses, non double glazed windows, winter, go figure

).

Anyway, here's the obligatory product photo, pardon the "bedroom studio setup":

What's included:

* Sigma 24-70 2.8 EX DG Macro
* Lens hood.
* Carrying case.
* Box with documentation.
* 82mm Marumi UV Filter.

The lens is in good condition. No dust specks, no scratches, focusing is fast and switch from manual to auto is snappy (you have to push/pull to switch from manual to auto focus).

Here are some photos taken using the lens:

Best things about this lens are:

1. Big focusing ring.
2. Short focusing distance.
3. Weight (maybe a con for many, but for my GX-10 with grip, it just balances it out).
4. A bit wider. 2.8's usually start at 28mm, and this is 24mm, not that wide but very usable as a walk around lens.
5. Beautiful bokeh.

Okay, if I go on any further I probably would not want to sell this lens anymore. So, price is £270.00 plus postage (Royal Mail Special Delivery) plus PayPal fees. This will probably go on eBay Sunday evening if I don't get a response here.

Hi brettmeikle. I am currently in discussion with a potential buyer. Although if this does not fall through, I will let you know via a private message.
