Pros: Sharpness, MAF speed, color rendering, overall quality.
Cons: Weight and for those who work with Canon, zoom dial that rotates backwards.
Opinion: After months of use and thousands of shots taken with this lens, I think I can have my say on this "particular" lens, unique in its 50-100 excursion that theoretically could make it seem "limited" compared to the classic 70-200 but that, born for Aps-c, makes it excellent for indoor sports which is then the use I make of it. Very sharp and usable already at 1.8, on R7 it focuses lightning fast and keeps it on bursts of even 10-12 frames, the colors are perfect without any dominant, the rings are fluid and the tripod ring, fixed even if rotatable, does not disturb in their use. To the touch it is a pleasure, like all Art, weighs, of course, a zoom f / 1.8 on the entire focal range is normal that it weighs, but once you see the results, the fatigue is quickly forgotten. The lack of stabilization is brilliantly compensated by the IBIS of the R7 even if, for the use I make of it, I would not have suffered the lack anyway. I also use it on R6 where, however, "vignettava" very little, too bad that with the latest firmware update Sigma has decided to make it "Canon", in the sense that the R6 immediately recognizes that it is a lens for Aps-c and automatically sets the "crop ratio / size" to 1.6, consequently reducing the file size. Too bad because, as mentioned, vignettava little and cropping the image "manually", the file size would have remained considerably larger and consequently also more workable. However, just shoot as you did once and the problem is almost solved. The only negative note I found, working with Canon, is the direction of rotation of the zoom ring: I wonder why Sigma decided to rotate it backwards, since I think almost all the other Sigma (I have the 24-105 Art, I had the 17-50 and the 10-20) rotate in the direction "Canon" and when you work with 2 bodies at the same time - especially in sports - it is not at all easy to have to remember the sense rotation of one or the other zoom... I just didn't understand this! |
