It’s hard to believe that just a few short years ago the primary complaint on the Sony platform was a lack of telephoto options. Sony was the first to address the problem with the 200-600G (my review here), but then Sigma and Tamron jumped in with both feet. Sigma released the 100-400mm DN (my review […] [Read more...]

The original 24mm F1.4 ART was (I believe) the only Sigma ART lens that I missed reviewing at its time of release (in 2015). I rectified that in 2018 when I reviewed the newly released version of the lens for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless). My review of that lens was mixed, as I felt […] [Read more...]

Over the past two years Sigma has easily been the most prolific lens developer on Sony FE and Leica L. We went from no full frame options from Sigma on Sony’s mirrorless platform two years ago to some 25 lenses just a few years later. And, while I tend to look at these lenses from […] [Read more...]
