I'm thinking of getting this to be paired with the nikkor 35mm prime during out of town trips. Has anyone tried this new lens yet? An online seller is offering it for 20K+ if I am not mistaken.

any lens but not sigma

I have sigma 18-200mm so far I'm happy with it although there are some distortion on its wide angle and vignetting but I'm fine with it. When it comes to sharpness it's kinda decent too. I'm just a hobbyist I use it for travelling. My only complain is when you tilt down the lens its zooms out because of heavy glass, and when zooming its not that smooth, there's a hard part where you need to put an extra force to twist.
But over all the output is ok. You just need to get a good copy!:Grin:


Cheers!

with Sigma, you might want to purchase from JT photo. You might need the warranty.
