I ended up pulling the trigger on this guy right before a local concert and the lens didn't fail me. The photos I got were awesome. Love this lens and it probably going to be my main shooter for a while!
Consistently great lens

It's a sharp, clean optic that is a joy to use. It feels nice in the hand, focuses well (on a a7R2) but consistently produces truly beautiful images. It has a nice that pizazz - a nice look about it's images.
It gets a full 5 stars. Still it's not ergonomically perfect. 1. it's a tad chunky (not a big issue), 2. it zooms the non-Sony direction (that bugs me), and 3. like almost all its peers, it lacks an aperture dial (that is understandable, but that really reduces its functionality for me). Still it's an outstanding optic at a keen price. I'd strongly recommend it, but there is room for ergonomic improvement in an updated version,
Hope this helps. Get out there and shoot.

I've had this lens a little over a year and I didn't use it much and kinda wished I had bought the Sony equivalent, that is until about 6 months ago. I don't know why I covered a lens double the price of this workhorse! I shoot a lot in NYC and last month I did a doors off helicopter flight to get top down shots of my favorite NYC icons. I was shooting during the blue hour, through helicopter vibration and shutter speed between 1/100-1/125 and I could not be happier with the results. I didn't expect the sharpness all the way down to street level which was over 1,000' in some cases.
Extremely Fast and Sharp

I've been working with this lens for a month now and I'm amazed by how fast and quiet it is in terms of focus. It is almost as sharp as a fix lens and I'm definitely happy with my purchase.

I use it with Sony A7r4.Outstanding focus speed and accuracy, color rendition seems to be very accurate also. Enjoy using lens very much and have no regrets buying it.
Why is this thing so cheap...??

I bought this a couple years ago and have regularly contemplated the other mid-zoom option (Sony GM) that I had briefly and thought was brilliant. But it was too big, noticeably big especially at weddings with a flash....Anywhoo, this Sigma takes amazingly sharp photos,lovely natural colour and the autofocus is quite fast! And its WAY smaller than the Sony, and half the price! I don't get it...Now, I have missed some shots with this lens, had someone in focus only to see later that it missed somehow. But that's not a common occurence. Now Sony has a version II GM, and I'm back pondering. Such a price difference simply doesn't make sense. If you shoot weddings,and want to NOT spend all your money on lenses, this one is really really good. I took shots with it I was sure were taken with one of my primes, I had to check it in LR to confirm. That's all. Whatever's wrong with this lens that makes it this cheap, I haven't seen it yet.
