While the new Sigma is an impressive feat of optical engineering,
I also fail to see the appeal of this lens … for stills.
It’s bulky and heavy and will likely be expensive. So, one might indeed
consider FF alternatives before spending money on this lens.
I’m wondering, though, if Sigma is eyeing budget cinema systems
with the new lens - like the BCC (Blackmagic Cinema Camera) or
even the Canon EOS-C.
For these systems, the new lens is currently peerless, as the
FF alternatives are DSLRs, not cinema cameras.
