Michael -
I think the Sigma 24-70/2.8 EX is an outstanding lens. I replaced the AF-S Nikkor 24-120 VR with it. It should serve you well for a long time. My example was sharp wide open but best stopped down a bit and really amazing at f4.

The EX 24-60/2.8 is better wide open and a bit nicer end to end though it is a little short for some tastes. I think it is Sigma's best mid-range zoom and it goes everywhere with me. The build quality is as good anything in the Sigma line, so no worries there if you're interested. Check it out on FredMiranda.com.
