Replying to an old thread here, but I must confess.
I got an Sigma 24/2.8 yesterday. Bought from uk-bay. Only (I hope) GBP 20.5
. In looks it's a beast compared to my Zuikos, I think it will have to stand
in another cabinet, separated from my Zuikos. I think I'll put the Tokina
300/5.5 beside it and have an beast-exhibition. :)
Anyway it sits on my OM-1 at the moment, liking the perspective. Later
tonight I will develop the first film taken with it.
