Value For Money

Although this lens may seem a little expensive for an f/1.8 prime lens, the optical performance and handling are such that the price of £620 is most probably justified. When you consider this lens costs around half what Nikon's 24mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 lenses do, it puts the price into perspective.

Sigma do offer an alternative in their 28mm F/1.8 EX DG Aspherical lens, which retails for around £320. However this lens lacks a silent focusing motor and is a larger, heavier lens.
