Originally posted by Buddha Jones I just saw Sigma has a 20mm, 24mm and a 28mm f1.8, anyone have these lenses?
I have the 20mm and 24mm.
The 20mm is so soft wide open that it is practically useless: why bother lugging this big lens which is not usable below f/3.5, when my FA 20/2.8 is smaller and better?
The 24mm is a great wide-normal lens on a crop camera that I warmly recommend. It is perfectly usable wide open, making it very useful for social gatherings and interior shots. It's also a good landscape lens. As a bonus, it sports a handy close-focus feature, allowing to take pictures of subjects practically touching the front lens. The only drawback is that it's quite big for a 24mm lens: when I put it on my K10d, it feels like I'm holding a Canon lens.
Here are some pictures taken with the Sigma 24/1.8 (sorry, no starry skies):
