    "It fits my Sony A350 perfect.
I wish I would have waited on my other generic lens. Sigma is well designded and sturdy. I'm going with Sigma instead of the overprice sony lens"

    "At 1.8F quite soft but at 2.8 is good. If i compare it with canon 28mm 1.8F, the canon is at 1.8 better, the soft image from canon like better, is also soft but like better. But Sigma offers wide focal lenght and very good price. The autofocus is a bit noisy but quite fast."
