Quote:Markus is correct. I did not expect this lens to be significantly cheaper than the Tamron 24-70 (or even the Nikon/Canon MkI), due to the rather extreme design and unique market position.
I think Sigma has made this lens quite attractive now. You can get a D7100 & the 18-35mm for only ~300€ more than a D600 without lens.
Honestly I do not quite understand why there is so much excitement about this lens.
It is a 1.9x zoom and the equiv range (28-53mm) is hardly sexy.
But then I was also never into those fast, heavy standard lenses in the first place.
