Need the speed? Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM in-depth review

Sigma’s 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM has generated a lot of excitement since its announcement in April, as the fastest zoom ever made for SLRs.

Great lens but boring bokeh. Lacks character (or you guys are no good at making interesting bokeh shots).

What you are saying in the conclusion is that the OVF of the Canon was not up to the task of confirming focus. If you had tested on a Sony with EVF, maybe the conclusions of mis focus would have been different (focus peaking and magnification views).

Well deserved GOLD award Sigma.

Wow. First comment, but I have nothing to complain about…

At least he can express himself without your rage and negativity.

No one takes extreme statements seriously.

Try to see in grays and not just black and white.
