Have to say I've been really liking the look of this lens, particularly for its size and weight (and price) which are pretty big factors for me.
Wondering what people think in the comparison between this and the tamron/sigma 28-70 lenses?
Obviously it covers a different range, but there's a big overlap, and in both cases you'll likely need a prime to go with it, so it would be (in my case) something like...
20-40 + a 65/2 or 75/1.8
or
20mm or 24mm prime (not sure which one specifically) + the 28-70 sigma (or the tamron, either way)
I think it just depends on what you like. For me the 20-40 is perfect because I don't like anything wider than 20. I think 20 still looks natural. I'll stich 2 together if I really need wider. Again it really comes down to individual taste. I just re purchased the 45 and 75 1.8 again to pair with the 20-40. 45 is redundant but it weighs nothing and would be better in many low light scenarios I like to shoot in. They both are so good, light and small. Very easy carry. Others might go the 24/28-70 route and then add a wider lens. Really no wrong answer.
