Sigma 30 f2.8 EX DN E review
Review is in progress, but so far, I can post only few comparisons done against kit lens and Canon FD 35 f2 S.S.C.I will have to take more serious look at Sigma, as it is supposed to be great lens, but from those comparisons it comes short to Canon. It is different FL of course, but according to some raving users reviews it is supposed to be very sharp across the frame. Could I have bad sample?
I will make more careful tests before making any conclusion…
Its Sigma, which means you can always have bad sample. IMHO, those samples on net were nothing to rave about. Usual Sigma, decent and boring, tho they did some interesting lens in past..
I am afraid you are right Corwin, but will try to focus more accurately. Problem is, that when I tried to manual focus, results were even worse. Focus ring is very stiff and hard to turn precisely. We’ll see. But I share your thoughts on Sigma. Anyway, its not most expensive lens, and I bought it second hand more from curiosity. Warranty is valid, so no much worry.
