I'm in agreement about the size. As tempting as it may be, it's a dslr lens on a mirrorless body and that kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. Pictures look lovely, though

Milliken Park in July 4, 2020
Used Sony A7R2
one of top 3 28mm (with Otus and Nikon E) except Leica M system.
In my experience, Sigma is better than Leica M 28mm lenses in Sony.
In my experience, Nikon E and Sigma are very similar to each other in sharpness.
Sigma is more crisp and corner sharpness neck to neck.
Slightly better than Leica Elmarit-R 28mm F2.8 V2 E55 at Sony System in sharpness,
but Leica has own unique color and character.

Nice but way too big. Looks almost like a 70-200. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a small prime lens.

I think this lens really shines in portraiture, where size is less of an issue: I'm already carrying multiple large lenses, two bodies, and sometimes flash equipment. In that application, the combination of perspective, optical quality, aperture, rendering, and autofocus is without peer in the Sony world.

Heads up it’s now $459 new on B&H deal zone, just for today. I just got the Thypoch, but if I were in the market for a fast 28 with AF and didn’t mind the size and weight, this would be an enticing option.

I think someone would have to pay me 450 to buy it. A good lens optically but a folly at that size and weight.

Sure, it's a fairly large and heavy lens. It was built for DSLR's originally. But if you want a 28mm AF lens with good IQ, it's basically the only one we have. One can even make the case that it might be the best 28mm lens from the DSLR era.

We all thought five years ago already when this thread started that this was a clearance sale to make room for a mirrorless fast 28mm lens. I am still hopeful, but in the meantime this still is truly a superb lens.

Agreed! I had the lens and it was superb. But it's a 28mm lens that feels like a boat anchor.
