| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sigma 28-70mm EX CZ85mmF1.4 |
| price paid: | 400 USD (new) |
| positive: | Sharp good colour fast focus light |
| negative: | Not FF |
| comment: | Beats the pants off the kit lenses, and although not as sharp as the CZ85mm, it is sharp compared to other lenses in this category. Not the best bokeh, but is pleasant and acceptable. Just remember this is not a fullframe lens. But it is a keeper for APS sensor use. Would give build, flare control and distortion 4.5 if possible. |
