  • PositiveDie Kombination aus kleinem Gehäuse, geringem Gewicht und hoher Leistung ist neben dem praktischen Blendenring der wichtigste Pluspunkt.
  • NegativeBei Offenblende zeichnet das Sigma-Objektiv etwas zu weich. Leicht abgeblendet holt es dann Maximalleistung aus hochauflösenden Sensoren.

Wer ein praktisches Alltagsobjektiv für seine Sony-, Leica- oder Panasonic-Systemkamera mit Vollformatsensor sucht, das die klassische Normalbrennweite abdeckt, macht mit dem neuen Sigma-Objektiv nichts falsch. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut.
