Decided to sell it after 10 days?

I had one for my D700, but sold it after I bought the new Nikkor 50/1.4G.

The Sigma had great optical properties, but the AF was awful. I don't plan on buying any more third-party lenses.

Nope I bought 2 :D

I don't really use AF that much. This is a stepping stone to a 50mm 1.2L

But after I buy a prime around 24mm and the 70 - 200 2.8L IS II
