hello to you all,

 

seems the new sigma is getting quite a lot of waves,

 

but I guess it will be not the first, ...neither the last one,

 

the purpuse is,

as the most  50's, they should be disigned as a standard lens(on full frame),

as such it should be "capable "in most situations ( without excelling)

 

a bit like we have today  the monstruous  16-300 of tamron,

but in another way   ;-)

 

as I use it on ap-c, it's more a portait lens than something else,

but I have the benefits of the lens being a "standard lens"

meaning usable in most situations,

low light, portrait, sports, ...

I know in my situation , this is not quiet strait,

as I should compare my lens with the 85mm1.8 (on full frame)

but many of ap-c shooters use this lens that way,

my favorite lens (canon 50mm 1.4) IMHO, anyway,

 

is this lens really beating the big boy's?

my main concern, is auto-focus in sport/low-light situations,

but an inprovement of the poor countre-light performation,

would surely be nice...

 

kr,

couplos

You've only to look at the previous thread to see the bad side of it, then look everywhere else to see it's great side, the everywhere else side gets the nod it seems, we will have to wait and see whether it can take the great extremes of  contrast when the universe finally implodes, that and sprinkler systems, otherwise it's top notch!
