Three New Sigma Primes on the Way

“Maybe a few years ago, I did not see the point of using such a camera as the SL is without native SL lenses. Nowadays, everything has changed. It makes total sense to get an SL2-S with only the new contemporary trio: 24/3.5 + 35/2 + 65/2. I don't usually shoot less than f/2, and my favorite and most used lens on DSLR are 35 and 58.“

Agreed, although the fp with the ‘I’ lenses makes even more sense! Missing IBIS of course, which is a biggie, but significantly cheaper, smaller and lighter than an SL body.

Sigma 3.5 24 - still away from the closest focal distance

The 24/3.5 will go incredibly close.  It's specs call for a minimum image size of 2:1  (48 x 70 mm).  You can only get that close (1-2 cm from the lens hood) with a ring light or just, as a test, photographing a display screen.  The edges of the frame get a little smeary if you do, no magnification required to see it.  But the capability is there to be used when needed.

I received the Sigma 24mm f3.5 DG DN L this morning. It's the tail end of our summer rainfall season, pouring rain on & off, so I took a couple of images around the house.

As with all my other Sigma L mount lenses, so far I'm impressed, build quality, handling, IQ & of course, I love the aperture ring!

All images are full frame uncropped on the SL2.

Fun picture with the 24 3.5 very near to its closest focusing distance. That's an Easter egg my wife made. 

Free hand, f4.5.

For all non-Germans: This is, admittedly quite bad, phonetic joke. The English I, is pronounced Ei, which is the German word vor egg ;)

Cheers

Daniel
