Re: Have you tried comparing images at max aperture?

You're paying for more glass, two fold. To cover a larger sensor for one, then to give you more light with an aperture of 2.8 for two.

The sigma is a great lens, but I am surprised there isn't much difference.

If you don't need f2.8, why not just purchase a 17-40mm? Not a lot of difference with respect to sharpness. And it would save quite a bit of coin.
