Without the benifit of using this lens - basing on the reviews (and the amount of WTS) it looks to be not such a good buy.

Theroectically, with such an extreame range (almost fisheye to almost full tele) the distortion should be very hard to control. Moreover, this is not a EX lens which is an indication of Sigma's confidence in this product.

Jsut my personal opinion, no hate mails, please

I am a Sigma supporter ( for thier EC lenses only )
