Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG

catza.net photos: Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG

• a high image quality wide-angle lens, much better than Canon EF 28mm f/2.8
• estimated retail price 440 EUR
• in my use from 1/2010 to current date
• fills nicely the gap between my 17 mm and 50 mm primes but somehow this is the lens that gets left home often

• great image quality
• sharp even wide open (of course sharpness gets even better when stopped down)
• you don't see often a 28 mm lens having the widest aperture of f/1.8
• a reliable performer in all kinds of situations
• the internals must be full of glass based on the weight of the lens

• not USM/HSM so sometimes the focusing seems a bit slow when there is fast action
• must be the largest and heaviest 28 mm lens on the market
• the outer body is plastic (but if it was metal the lens would be even more heavier)
