Sorry, fixed the title.
Yes, they are slow. For a general-purpose 35mm the Sigma Art f/1.4 is still at the top of my list. I'm evaluating these for the macro stuff (flowers, plants). I'm working pretty well with a 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor adapted with a focusing helicoid, but I'd like to try composition with a wide-angle (actually a few years ago I used the Samyang 8mm fish-eye with the focusing helicoid and it's fun - but there's the distortion thing). I'd probably be interested in the widest one.
What was your problem with Tamron? Actually I've almost never bought one - just a cheapo zoom, in 1998 or such, when I had my first DSLR, another age.
