The list price of the new Sigma is significantly lower than that of the competing lens from Sony's G-Master series, but it offers comparable performance.
It is difficult to give a minus point for this lens. Even the price is not too high in view of the performance it offers.
The Sigma lens achieves very high performance and delivers beautiful images with excellent resolution in the focus area and a natural-looking bokeh representation in the subject background. Coupled with high build quality, light weight and a fair price, it is worth a real recommendation.
