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.

Pros: Constant F2.8. Sharpness. Lightness.

Cons: Not stabilized. For some, the lack of an aperture ring (but I saw that you can photograph the same... :-) !)

Opinion: I have the X-mount version and I use it on the XT5 to have a light combination to use when you want to contain weights and dimensions. On the XT5 with its stabilized sensor, it works well and seems to be able to take advantage of the loved/hated 40 mpx. I am not an expert technician/engineer/optician like many here, mine is consequently an empirical and personal opinion and I can say that the performance of the lens is excellent and the photos I take are lacking exclusively because of my inexperience. I recommend it to those who want lightness and quality.

Pros: Lightweight, tropicalized, IQ, silent on the video side

Cons: No diaphragm ring

Opinion: I bought this lens a few months ago and use it mounted on a Fujifilm X-S10. I liked it right away for lightness, image quality that is quite discreet, total absence of chromatic aberrations (problem that I found in the past with lenses much more expensive than this but for Sony mirrorless). As far as vignetting is concerned, there is little visible, almost absent. Also on the video side the quality is very good and the zoom does not create any annoyance or noise. Overall certainly you can not compare it to professional lenses but for what I do, street, some portraits and a bit of nature is more than fine.
