Are you joking? where got this type of focal length with f2.8 ?

Tamron have 28-105mm f/2.8, but quite heavy already

82mm front element is no joke

How do you find it in terms of focusing speed, sharpness (wide open and f/4), colour, bokeh and build?

build is good. focus speed is good. sharpness is good when focus is accurate. dun know how to comment on the colour and bokeh. my one front focus by about 1 cm. i am sending to sigma for calibration. but i still think it is a good lens

if u just buy, don need to calibrate, ask for new set

l_n_h · 15th October 2006

sample photos, all 100% crop

F2.8, 1/1600s, 150mm

F4, 1/800s, 150mm

Thanks for posting the sample, is it the centre crop? How about the side?

At f/2.8, seem a bit soft, but reasonably good, consider it 100% cropped.
