Pros:
|
Sharp wide open! Fast AF and effective OS
|
|
Cons:
|
Weight, not weather sealed, shorter focal length at close focus
|
|
This lens (at least my copy) lives up to the excellent measurement results on this site. Sharpness is very impressive, it's sharp everywhere. Right from f2.8 over the zoom range.
There is only one caveat: the effective focal length becomes significantly shorter with closer subjects. At closes focus (80cm) it's a 50-100mm. Being a lens in the portrait range (focus around 3m / 10ft) it is not a 50-150 but somewhere between a 50-120 and a 50-135. I found that when I made some test pics to compare sharpness with my old Canon 70-200 f4L.

won't be released for sony/pentax shooters
|
|
here's the quote from an email i received from sigma..." Unfortunately at this time there are no plans to release that lens in Sony mount. I have had other inquiries into this in the past and have asked the parent company as recently as 2 weeks ago. But they continue to tell me that the lens will not be available in Sony or Pentax. I hope one day that changes, but I honestly don’t see that happening. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.'

Your review states that this new version of the Sigma 50-150 is available now for Sony and Pentax mounts - but the Sigma website lists only Canon, Nikon and Sigma.

I would like to get this lens for my Sony A550....

Pros:

Wide aperture, sharp, good range for a crop sensor
|
|
Cons:
|
heavy, not water sealed
|

I have a Canon 70-200 f/4L IS but found it to be a little long on my 7D for indoor portraits in my basement so I bought this lens. This lens focus is accurate and pretty fast. I found this lens to be as sharp as my Canon 70-200 f/4L IS.
