Fantastic all-around lens 😀😃😀
A Stellar Lens After purchasing this lens I had to join the chorus of praise heaped on it. I had all the intentions of getting the to go with my new . However the recent January-March price drop of $60 sealed the deal. I figured it was worth the gamble, or as I’ve often seen it referred to “the Sigma lottery”. The reviews on this lens have been in for a long time, and most of them are quite positive. Some even rate this lens better than the venerable Canon EF-S 17-55.
