Btw, I still don't get why people still buy Sigma lenses. In my experience, if you buy 5 copies of the same lens, you will probably get 1 copy that works like advertized, 1 lemon, and 3 paper weights.
Many haven't had that experience.
Of the 6 Sigma lenses I've owned over the last 6 years 1 was garbage (28-70 kit lens), 1 was mediocre (170-500 APO), 2 were very good (24/2.8 Super-Wide II, EX 50/2.8 Macro) and two were excellent (EX 10-20, 17-70). None of the lot had the supposedly common QC issues (although I've seen others have those issues).
Sigma offers lenses nobody else does and a fairly good price/performance ratio. Of course they do have some dogs in their lineup (and their f2.8 normal FF zooms have long fallen in that category with the exception of the 24-60).
