no image stabilization built in
Focus adjustment takes a bit of effort
bit of loss of image quality at the edges of the frame
there is quite a bit of focus breathing visible as you adjust the lens
the color signature is a bit more muted-
focusing ring too loose on this lens
the weak flare resistance
got wobbly and unusable on the trip
feels quite heavy to me when attached to the camera
can't toggle the aperture click on or off
too high vignetting on full frame
are very much missing from the E-mount lineup at the moment
The corners are not quite on the same level of sharpness
The Sigma is not a macro or a close focus lens
changing the aperture is not quite as satisfying
the Sigma is a bit longer at 12cm
