That lens appears to be quite rare with autofocus, but I'm hapy to recently have got hold of a copy

Part of an attempt to fill the gaps I have in full-frame autofocus lenses. So it was nice to see your shot here.
I've only made a few test-shots on digital yet so can't say so much about the lens yet, but will shoot some brickwall later today if it isn't snowing...plan to test it on the MZ-S next week to see how it behaves on full-frame. What I can say outright is that the build-quality surpriced me! I've been associating older Sigma lenses with lots of plastics and badly fitted components. But this lens is mostly metal and appears very well built. Autofocus is fast. Only negativ so far is the shade which can't be stored reversed and when in place the lens cover won't fit.

I've got a crop-sensor length metal after-market hood on mine and use a lens cap which goes on the hood rather than the lens itself. The down side is that it makes a very compact lens not so compact and, of course, I'd need to make other arrangements for FF (which is one of the reasons I'm not on the FF bandwagon.)
