Pros: Lightweight, compact, eye-catching, crisp satisfying

Cons: chromatic aberrations sometimes evident

Opinion: Kept for a few months but after finding that the chromatic aberrations, in some cases a little more extreme, jumped out at the eye (green and red on the blurred keys of the PC keyboard for example) I replaced it. I also got the cash back discount even if late to the 2 months declared but in the end I preferred the 28-60 of sony for my street. For 500 euros I expected more than a little more brightness which you are forced to give up using at least an f4 to avoid the defect

Pros: Very light and compact, smooth dials, image quality

Cons: Chromatic aberrations

Opinion: I analyzed at length whether to take the Fuji 16-55 mk1, the Fuji 16-50 or the Sigma. Embracing the philosophy of portability, I excluded the Fuji 16 55 mk1 for its weight and size, I don't consider the mk2 because it is too expensive, while I preferred it to the Fuji 16 50 because of the constant aperture. If you are also wondering which one to get, consider this: if you don't necessarily care about having Fuji lenses, if chromatic aberrations are a negligible defect and if you can tolerate the absence of the aperture ring, go easy on the Sigma. The portability is exceptional combined with the XS10 and the quality is more than good.

Pros: Excellent lens (see features)

Cons: none (see features)

Opinion: That it's compact, lightweight, constant f2.8, tropicalized, no aperture ring and no stabilization can be seen from the lens specs, so these above can't be considered either pro or con. These are things that you know before you buy the lens. For the use I make of it, on Sony, I didn't have any surprises: the lens seems very good to me, it responds perfectly to the advanced AF of the 6700 and a little vignette, which for me is not a big problem but it is certainly noticeable. I don't express myself on sharpness because I am not able to evaluate it but it seems to me that it is ok, as well as on the rendering of colors which seems to me all in all neutral. A true all-rounder, compact, lightweight, f2.8, quality, at a fair price, which restores justice to the APSC system.

Pros: Small size, f/2.8 throughout focal length, price, sharpness, portability

Cons: Non-premium materials, lack of aperture selector.

Opinion: Bought to complement the Fuji XT5. I was looking for an optic with constant f/2.8, in the end I was undecided between three, Fuji f.2.8, in Tamron and Fuji. In the end my choice fell on him for the sharpness factor, size and cost. The Tamron has a longer focal length but weighs twice as much and also in size it is much longer so I discarded it. The Sigma qualitatively has more valuable materials but it also weighs a lot and costs twice as much as the sigma and then Fufji announced the new II version which apparently decreases in size but should cost around 1600 euros (too expensive). Let's go to the Sigma, I recommend it to those who need a light optic, it is of excellent quality, it has a scary sharpness almost as much as the Fuji at half the weight, size and cost. it is an excellent lens to always carry with you, it fits in a pocket, really small, I still wonder how Sigma managed to make such an optical at constant f2.8 with these dimensions. the only negative drawback, the materials a bit plastic, but guys at this price and with this quality in such a small size you can accept, another factor that is missing is the aperture selector, but I don't see it as a very negative influential factor because you can select them with the wheel in the dedicated camera body, so nothing special. In conclusion, I highly recommend it for those who travel, or do street or reportage and need a constant focal length range from 18 to 50 2.8 with an excellent quality of sharpness rendering in very small dimensions and a ridiculous very light weight.

Pros: Sharp, light, tropicalized, excellent construction.

Cons: Lack of stabilization.

Opinion: I took it yesterday and took several test photos and I confirm the excellent performance. Much sharper than the canon 18:150 with the same focal length of course. Very beautiful colors, excellent rendering of the complexion. Too bad there is no stabilization, but on the R7 the lack is felt less given the stabilization of the sensor. Brava sigma, finally an Aps-c lens worthy of Canon. Now we are waiting for the others announced and above all a stabilized 50-100 zoom at least compact like these. Lately I prefer portability and lightness over everything else, so much so that the full kit is increasingly at home. At the time of reflex cameras, apsc was far below full, but now you have to draw your eyes already by zooming in to 100% with lenses of this level, especially on prints. And if you get manias, let you carry the weight of the backpack.
