Should we start petitioning Stewart to get one for hire?

I still can't take the design of the Sigma seriously. My first thought is "INCOMING"!!

It's a DG 'nall, so not much good for full frame bodies either, bit of a swizz that.

Sorry, thats not quite correct.

DG have coatings which makes them better on digital sensors than non-DG lenses.

DC lenses are for cropped sensors only.

Well at least it's finished in army green to blend in with nature, so you won't see the ten soldiers carrying through the jungle..
