 Flash causing autofocus issue? | |
Regarding the performance of the lens, I actually like it quite a bit. Sharpness seems just fine even at wider apertures, love the psuedo-macro ability, and the ability to go to f1.8 is very helpful in the low light situations I find myself using it in. The lens has exceeded my expectations and since I got it and I have used it quite a bit.
I considered the 24/f2.8, but I determined it was too slow for what I needed, and based on what I read, seemed to have its own set of kinks. The price difference was about $70 ($450 vs $380). The Sigma isn\'t heavy, but it isn\'t light either. The lighter weight of the Nikkor would be nice.
The Sigma is not perfect, it has its flaws, but its performance and usefulness for the price makes its a solid value. With its extra speed, I think I\'m able to capture shots with the lens, that I might not have been able to with a slower one.
I\'ve only had the lens about two weeks, so I don\'t have a massive catalog of pictures to choose from, but here are a few pics I took from a few recent events...
I\'m not making art here and maybe these are not a good examples of trying to show off its sharpness, I just wanted to capture good memories with friends and I think the lens did a good job at that.
