The Sigma is rated a bit too low, I think It's my favorite lens since I got it last december and it works just excellent with a D800
It costs
35/1.4
Show me one of these lenses worth the double price.
What I also really like, but was not part of the description: The caps - front and rear - are better than any Nikon caps I've used so far. The front cap is not slipping out of your fingers, the rear cap untightens much easier and is more difficult to loose than the Nikon genuine caps - I'm thinking of replacing about 10 rear caps with the Sigmas. The lens hood is a pleasure to use, this also can't be said of all Nikon lens hoods.
The only thing I found a bit odd: I needed to adjust the AF of the D800 more than average. If Sigma continues this way, I gonna buy the USB adaptor for lens adjustments. Because this lens won't stay alone in my photobag.
It costs
- 53% of [the Sony
- 55% of the Canon
- 50% of the Nikon
- 45% of the Zeiss
