Thanks for the review! Regarding the MTF Rating Scale, it seems you guys are using the 5D II scale on a crop lens review. Minor detail, we can all see the lens is quite good from f/1.8.

 

Any comments on the autofocus (especially at wider apertures)? Mine frontfocuses quite severely and I'm not the only one. The dock does help alot, although it doesn't alleviate it completely.

A nice lens, albeit I can't really warm up to how it renders (cannon, colourful animal thing)? If it rendered nicer, I'd indeed see it as a 3 primes in one zoom. The weight is also a bit eye watering.  Still, a nice achievement from its designer.

Upps (corrected).

 

The focus seems alright on my sample I'd say.

The Sigma 18-35/1.8 test isn't mentioned in the home page under Photozone updates.
What a pity Photozone isn't testing this unique lens ;-)

Finally a testreport on this absolut toplens of 2013 on Photozone, happy to finally see a review on a trustworthy reviewsite.

I have one since december (although on a  Nikon D7100 ) and use it as my standard zoomlens.

I hate switching lenses so i wanted one lens.

Offcourse it is heavier compared to a Sigma 17-50 for instance that is the main disadvantage of this lens.

 

But I dont agree on the zoomrange 18-35  being to limited.

I can absolutely understand it feels to short  when shooting.

But because this lens is so sharp and resolving so much detail from the sensor I can easilly zoom in my pictures a few times and still have better performance compared to a 17-50 mm zoomlens or a prime 50 mm lens. 

So in the end I still end up with better pictures.

 

Also my copy nails focus just as good as a expensive Nikon or Canon lens I owned before, always spot on.

Except in real dark situations a top Canon/Nikon lens focusses  a little steadier/faster on the same F value.

Still not on the main page. Am I doing something wrong?
