Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM - IntenseLtd - 04-21-2013
Im trying to find out when this lens came out and is it the same as the one reviewed here 3 years ago?
Sigma's website call it an "updated version" but Im guessing that means updated a few years ago.
Cheers

The version out now was introduced in 2008 (although there could always be minor modifications I suppose, new lens coatings whatever). I'm surprised to read there was a "Zen" version, I'd always figured this applied to a small number of prime lenses but I guess this proves otherwise!
