Pros: It is an excellent lens from an optical standpoint. Well-built, with powder-tight seals. Fuzzy and very sweet bokeh, for a wide angle. Sharpness, a lot, at every aperture. All in all not too big to be a prime lens. Not too heavy. 77 mm Filter step. Born to be used at full aperture, in any situation, it will never disappoint you.
Cons: expensive, very. Maybe it's the only true "flaw" I can find. Vignette at 1.4 (but I don't consider it a problem, I've never considered it in the lenses I've owned and I use it now). A hair of sharpness less at full aperture (!!!), at the edge of the frame (to want to find the fur in the egg).
Opinion: Neither pros nor cons: It's made (also) plastic... So what???? Now, this matter of plastics I have a little stew, I often read comments of amateur photographers who complain because a similar lens, but also others, especially Nikon, is built with plastic materials. Now, my thought in short is that today with the plastic you do and you can do everything. They are not apart from this material even though feeling the metal in your hand gives me a certain feeling of reliability and robustness together. But to me (as all) it concerns that a lens returns to me sharp images, brilliant, contrastate, without too many aberrations. If it's not made of titanium, graphene or...... alloy Z...me I'm going to do a reason... Finally: This amazing lens should be compared with similar monsters, like the Zeiss Otus, or the Leica M, but without going on emblazoned coats of arms, today the Sigma Art 28mm equal brightness promises authentic wonders, and not only from the point of view of Price. Although I can not currently conduct similar tests, I am convinced that the Nikon would come out a lot, but very well, against opponents that cost at least double, apart from the Sigma that would by its even the most affordable cost, the real enemy of ours.
