Does anyone know where I can order the Sigma 24-105mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon (D70)?

Hmmmm, okay maybe I'm all mixed up about it. I thought I read a review. Okay, how about this then, 70-200mm F2.8? Would you suggest B & H or anywhere else?

sigma 24-135 2.8-4 (review) but it sucks.
Tamron 28-105 2.8 (review) is not so hot either

Tamron 24-135 SP (review) One of the best lenses made, period.

In the 70-200 2.8 the Sigma is very good review

The only 24-105mm I know of is the new Canon lens, and it's very nice.

Think I'm going for the 70-200 f/2.8 lens (need it for shooting in dark auditorium). But, I really want suggestions on WHERE to buy it. I mentioned B & H, but if anyone can suggest another source (maybe less expensive, I'm open to suggestions).

b&h is good and reliable. beachcamera and buydig i have heard decent things about, but they may not carry the full line of things.
check resellerratings.com before trying just any old online store.

also, fredmiranda.com has a large and very busy buy and sell forum,and ther is always ebay. I bought a couple of new lenses new on ebay and saved about 15% over b&h's prices.

Thanks - I will check out all those places. My fingers are itching for this lens, so I have a feeling I will be ordering today!

I bought a 70-200 f/2.8. I'm not that impressd with it. Should've just saved half the money and gone with the f/4. Maybe I should buy a 5D and hook it to that and see if I like it better.

If your going to buy a Sigma....try Sigma4Less...cheaper than most other places. I bought my 105mm there....and they accept PayPal which is good for added security for you.

Well, I love the 70-200mm. But then, my Minolta gives it image stabilising as well so it's a killer combination.

What i've found is you gotta play with a lens until you find what it does best, or how best to use it. My tamron 70-210 2.8 with it's big glass MUST have the lens hood on or i get a low contrast image everytime.
used correctly, it is fantastic.
