DxO about the Sigma 18-35mm lens: “Unrivalled Standard Zoom”

–

DxOmark tested the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens:

The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 DC HSM A remains an outstanding example of what’s achievable with modern lens designs. And at $799, it’s reasonably accessible in price as well.

The Lens also got tested at Dpreview (Click here). The Lens earned a Gold Award and the DP team writes:

Its relatively narrow zoom range is undeniably a little restrictive, but on the other hand, the image quality it can offer over that range is absolutely stellar. It’s let down a little by inconsistent autofocus, which makes it difficult to get consistently sharp results every time when shooting wide open. But if you’re prepared to live with this, the 18-35mm is capable of delivering truly exceptional results.

You can preorder the lens at Amazon (Click here), BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). There is even a price drop on the lens at Amazon UK. But there is still not exact release date info from Sigma! And that’s really annoying!
