Sigma 24mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO

SIGMA 24mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO is one of several EX-Series lenses to be introduced at Photokina 2000 by Sigma Corporation of Japan(2-13-15 Iwado-Minami, Komae-shi, Tokyo). This lens has a fast F1.8 maximum aperture with macro focusing capability of minimum focusing down to 18cm/7.1inches (reproduction ratio 1:2.7).
Sigma 24mm F1.8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO Overview
This lens has an advanced optical construction, in order to obtain adequate peripheral brightness at open aperture. Also, the iris diaphragm has 9 diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus images in the foreground and background. This lens also incorporates a Dual-Focus (DF) mechanism. It is easy to hold the lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, yet it provides adequate focusing torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the lens. Also this allows the use of a Petal-type Hood, which is superior light blocking effect.

""For me this is a specialty lens for those atmospheric shots that draw you in - low light, shallow depth of field, the candle light dinner, the pensive portrait where the eyes tell the story. I use mine on the grand old Oly E-1 which was made for night club photo - yes this is a heavy lens, but it is like it was made for the E-1. An affordable choice for low light shooting in the 4 thirds format. It provides a sharp f1.8 with an acceptable wide angle - hard to come in this format. With the Beautiful top of the line Sigma Finish and Very solid build - I'm very happy." "

"3.5/4.5 zoom. I made this somewhat redundant purchase because I wanted the freedom to do wide angel indoor shots using natural light, which the zoom is reluctant to do with slow film (or low digital sensitivity). I have given the lens a rather complete workout since that time, and have nothing but good to say about it, especially with respect to image quality. The two-step switch from auto focus to manual is a bit confusing, as you must (on a Nikon body) switch off auto focus on the body, and then on the lens as well (not making any adjustments on the lens doesn?t keep it from performing as expected, but properly setting it to auto focus when needed does seem to release the manual focus ?clutch? and may reduce wear on the internal mechanisms). It's macro capabilites make up for this minor inconvenience though, and along with its very effective aspherical design, pull it's "features" rating into the "excellent" category.) I carry a lot of Nikon glass in my bag, and I believe that the Sigma is in every way comparable in terms of sharpness and contrast. Both of my Sigma lenses are much lighter than their Nikon counterparts, and I must say I appreciate the all metal construction of my Nikon lenses, but the overall build quality of both of my Sigma lenses seems very good, with reasonably quiet and reasonably fast auto focus (tested on my S2 Pro). The value aspect of these lenses is in deed very high. I have not gone as far as to do deliberate exposure testing on this lens, but can say that under "normal" shooting conditions (and closely studying a recent image taken at the almost-wide-open f2.8) I?ve noticed no barrel distortion whatsoever, or light fall-off at the edges of the frame. This is a fine lens that I would consider professional grade equipment in every aspect "

"This lens works pretty well with my Pentax K10D.
Nice Sharpness, nice contrast, good-enough saturation for me
needs a 77mm filter to fit, that might be expensive.
I never take it off from my camera since I bought it.
it has a better control of image shape than all my zoom lenses since it has a fixed focal length 24mm. "
