It makes sense. People are ordering everything on the internet, so they won't handle the lenses in their local store before buying them... assuming they still have a local store to go to. So, when they shop for their new lens, they look at reviews that talk about how "sharp" the lens is and its bokeh, autofocus speed, etc., but very little on how they handle, and how big and heavy they are.
Sigma understands this. Making a lens 25-50% bigger and heavier than its competitors doesn't matter, if it can be 10% sharper on that 40+ megapixel sensor.
Oh, and I really wish Sigma would release its lenses on the Fuji XF-mount, even if it's only to have more competition, and lesser prices for the lenses.
