Sigma 50-150 II

Anyone uses this lens? Is it better than the first verison? Tnx.

I've had the first version for over a year and like it very much. The "II" version is supposed

to perform better at close focusing distance. I really never use mine under about 10 feet, so

not an issue/feature for me. Usually, Sigma rev-2 products fix problems in the rev-1

versions and are a better choice.

 

Also, Nikon has just leaked the release of a Nikkor in the 50-150/2.8FX format, which will

surely be very fine. Night want to hold-off for that.

I don't think Nikon leaked any such thing. I think Ellis suggested such a thing to folks at Nikon, but I don't think anyone said anything about such a lens being produced. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

You`re right. I`m afraid we`re not lucky, it was just a wish...
