Know any other 14/1.8 with AF?

 

Or meant the 24-70 (which I find suspiciously cheap)

About the 24-70mm ... I suggest to abandon all hope there ...

The most boring standard zoom just gets 1.5 × more boring in APS-C.

 Let's throw an extension tube into the mix and make it a macro!  Tongue

 

  I will pay special attention to a review of this 24-70mm Art lens, what purpose in this round of Art and G2 glass has a lens which isn't sharp at the edges??

  

  Seems somewhat strange to me.......while it's up against the very decent Tamron!

Diffraction MTF of Sigma 24-70/2.8, source: Sigma

Geometrical MTF of Sigma

 

Tried to post that - was not allowed - too many pictures

 

MTF og Nikkor 24-70/2.8 E VR (Source: Photographylife.com)

The Sigma is 1300$, the Nikkor 2200$

 

Does anybody think, all 900$ are just the normal overpricing of genuine lenses?  ^_^

 

For the Tamron G2 I haven't found prices or MTF
