Pros:
|
Heft and build inspire confidence; great shooting experience. F4 more than acceptable. Very sharp; nice bokeh. Very usable focal length, of course.
|
|
Cons:
|
82mm filters expensive; forced to buy new ones.

Has quickly become one of my favorite lenses--ever. IQ is inspiring. Very good sharpness; nice depth for a zoom. Focus and zoom are both smooth as butter. Image stabilization works well. No focusing problems. Sigma has really stepped up their QC. A lens that is pure joy to use.

Pros:
|
Excellent build quality, very good optical quality, versatility, constant aperture, effective stabilizer, silent ultrasonic Af with full time manual override
|
|
Cons:
|
82mm filters, big and heavy (relative), vignetting, future compatibility is not granted
|
|
I checked the Nikon version on the Nikon d7000. Overall a very good lens, but not so good that the latest 18-35 or 35 f/4. Very usable at f/4 at both ends, but not tack sharp. CA is low, on Full frame vignetting is high. What is exceptional is the build quality, this lens feels and looks like a very high quality product, even compare to the most expensive lenses.

Pros:
|
Sharp, well built quality lens
|
|
Cons:
|
Weight, some vignetting on FF, but this is no different than Canons own
|
|
|
Good solid build, smooth zoom and fast and accurate AF, always manual overridable if desired. Some vignetting on full frame sensor, but this is normal, not an issue on APS-C. Sharp images, good color, hard to provoke flares. Decent DOF with nice soft blur. Next to none CA. On par with Canons own equivalent. Sunshade and bag included
