Item Description
The
Sigma 24mm f/2.8 "Super-Wide II" is a bit of a cult classic, but so will be my *16-50 when I get a good copy of that, so I'm selling this. This lens is very sharp, even wide open, and has great bokeh. The only negative trait it has is a tendency to flare in direct sun (a sigma trait really). By the way, this is the manual focus version of this lens (I'll probably own the AF version someday).
Included: Lens w/ pentax front cap and asahi press on rear cap, 52mm HOYA HMC UV[0] filter, 52mm
HOYA screw on rubber hood, 52mm Aragon PL polarizer.
This copy looks a bit beat up, but the optics and mechanical aspects are great. First the bad (all aesthetics really)...
- The filter ring has a small dent - but filters screw on and off no problem (and the lens comes with a HOYA HMC UV filter and a polarizer).
- The paint / markings are faded.
- The rubber trim around the focus ring came off (it's included if you want to try your hand at re-gluing it). This isn't a problem for focusing as the metal focus ring is itself rubber coated and provides plenty of grip.
- Comes with non original caps.
- There's some dust inside the lens (as with most lenses)
Now the good...
- The optics are scratch and mark free.
- The focus ring is tight, smooth and damp - very nice.
- A-Mode works nice, and there's an aperture ring if you need one.
- Aperture blades are clean, dry, snappy.
- Takes great pictures (well I suppose that depends on the photographer).
