A list of various review/writeups plus the difference in design philosophy used by Sigma and Zeiss in their new lens versus the double gauss designs.

I thought the same of the Zeiss Ottis lenses as well. But it looks like there are enough photogs out there that don't mind the ex tea length and weight. I was initially interested in getting the new Sigma Art until I saw how big it was. I think I will keep my EX grade 🙂

All these new art lenses are big it seems ... I was interested in the new 50mm for a brief moment until I saw how much bigger it is than the current version.

That said the build quality is very impressive on the two I have. The 18-35 f1.8 I got makes the Nikkor zoom that cost nearly twice as much seem like a piece of ****!
