I'm getting confused b/w the HSM & MACRO 24-70 nikon 2.8 lens?
What exactly is the difference ? And which might be better for concert photography?
HSM is Hyper Sonic Motor, Sigma's silent focus motor. It is fast and very quiet. The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM sells for $900:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/596258-REG/Sigma_571306_24_70mm_f_2_8_IF_EX.html
The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro DF sells for $570:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/350972-REG/Sigma_548306_24_70mm_f_2_8_EX_DG.html
The magnification and minimum focusing distance (MFD) of the 'macro' aren't much better than the HSM model so I wouldn't really base my decision on that. HSM means that the lens will focus very fast and very quiet which is nice when you are doing street photography or candid portraits because you can be less conspicuous. For low light performance, the HSM will most likely do better but the macro will do fine too.
If it were me and I had the money, I would go for the HSM. If you don't want to spend that much, you might look at the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD ASP IF:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/284402-REG/Tamron_AF09NII_700_28_75mm_f_2_8_XR_Di.html
It costs $460 and has about the same magnification and MFD as the Sigma macro.
