Pros:
|
1. It is full frame (and basically the same focal length as the 17-40L on 1.6x cameras).
2. It has fast, accurate AF even in dark environments.
3. It has 24mm as opposed to the tammy´s 28.
4. It is an extremely compact "normal" 2.8 zoom.
5. It has better build than the tammy.
6. It is much smaller than the 24-70L.
7. So far it seems to match the optical quality of both it´s competitors.

Cons:
|
No HSM, but it doesn´t seem to be a problem yet.

I have used this lens a few days now and simply love it on my 5D. I have the tamron 28-75, the 24-70L and the 24-105L in the same range and the Sigma will replace both the tamron and the 24-70L.
Looking at all the convenient factors and simple quality of this lens, I don´t understand why this lens is not more popular. It seems like the perfect balance between optical quality, focal range, size and aperture.
