Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma 24-135mm f/2.8-4.5 Aspherical IF Lens for Konica Minolta SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Excellent walkabout lens
Summary: 5 Stars
BEWARE -- when I bought this, the vendor said they only had the Canon mount not the Minolta/Sony. However, the lens itself has a good combination of reach, wide angle, and wide aperture. There's a bit of distortion at 24mm so I try to use it not quite zoomed out all the way, but zooming all the way out to 135mm is just fine by me -- half the time that's where I shoot it. Since I've got the DSLR crop factor to deal with, it's not as wide as I might want indoors, but I tend to shoot candid-style so I use the 135mm from across the room all the time.
I wish I could buy a 24-105mm constant f2.8 lens; I could maybe give up a few mm of telephoto for f2.8 but I don't want to go all the way down to 75 mm maximum. On the other hand, 24mm is barely enough for me indoors on the wide side so 28mm would not be wide enough. So this lens remains the best compromise for me, short of buying a 17-50mm f2.8 lens and an A700 so I can crop more.
