Sigma 14-24 mm f/2.8 DG HSM | Art coming ... - stoppingdown - 02-08-2018
Quote:True. The price of the Sigma with MC11 is nearly the same (1779.- Sony, 1796.- Sigma incl. adapter).
I'm not personally interested (too heavy and I'm fine with the SEL1018), it's just that a friend recently bought some Sony stuff and asked for advice. Having competition would hopefully lower prices, even though they start at the same level.

The Sony weighs less than half of the Sigma (without MC11). So, there's hardly a reason to go the Sigma way.

I am guessing the talk switched from the coming Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 to the Sigma 12-24mm f4?

If we're still talking about the rumored 14-24, maybe some people are dead set to have the f/2.8 aperture, so for them the extra size and weight is a necessary evil.

Yes, you're guessing right. My bad, I thought it will come soon into da lab.

If it's this lens https://nikonrumors.com/2018/02/08/first-pictures-of-the-sigma-14-24mm-f-2-8-dg-hsm-art-lens.aspx/#more-119537
then the weight is exactly the same as from the 12-24/4 Art.
Strange, Sigma. Why are they making a zoom lens which is only f/2.8, one stop faster than their 2 mm shorter 12-24? and 1 1/3 stops slower than the 14/1.8 mm
*ordering a second golf caddy* :wacko:

Not necessarily. Look at the Sony 12-24 which is half the weight and as good (if not better) when you consider the sum of its qualities.
The Canon 16-35/4L is a pretty compact and lightweight lens (less than 650 grams), brakes for nobody in the IQ department and has very effective IS. I love mine to bits.

Yes, it's good to see the Sony can be lighter and simpler designed if the lens designer doens't have to consider a mirror. More of that, please. ^_^
