Quote:Klaus, I don't have an overview about 2x zooms in wide angle, so it was no attempt to make it a standard zoom, I just needed an f/2.8 example for FF. So I need to step back from my sympathy for Sigma's reinvention of themselves, which is a rare thing these days. For sure it is no weight saver, unless one tries to get a 35, 24 and a 18mm prime, with f/1.8 instead of that lens.
It's also fun to play with open aperture and 0.28m minimal focus distance.
Yeah, something like the sample shot with the cannon (albeit the focus wasn't perfect) is a cool experience on APS-C.
And it doesn't get much better than this at the moment.
However, the lens shows also once more that if you'd like to have the same depth-of-field potential you will end up with roughly the same lens weight and costs.
