Re: Sigma 30mm F2.8 – a classic lens for peanuts?

In reply to Jefenator, 6 months ago

Very true. My issue is basically just the price of the Zeiss (rhymes, oddly). It just means it's a much more informed decision to purchase, whereas the Sigma is literally just a case of, shall I? Oh go on then...

But, I have a Voigtländer 35/1.4 which I bought new for near used-zeiss-price, which I love and used with my C3 for a year before purchasing an NEX-7 last month. I also purchased the SEL18200LE, which was great on holiday (photos to come). It's versatile and a large enough zoom that I'll always have the reach if needed.

Hell, even the kit lens is fine (underrated). I should stop hanging about on here and go take some photos...
