Re: New sigma lenses announced
I did a little test today and instead of my sigma 150-600 I took out the wife's canon 400mm f5.6L, it's a lens I know well and used for years with good effect so I expected decent results from it especially as it gave me a wider aperture . How wrong I was the first failure was close focus ability ,then the lack of i.s showed as well ,and surprisingly I found the focus virtually no faster than with the big sigma .the only advantage was the weight .
It's a experiment I won't repeat ,so yes I will be very keenly waiting for this new sigma ,I firmly believe that it's a company that has turned itself around and comparing the old sigma lenses from before the launch of the global range is not really fair .
