(3 edits in all) | Jan 13, 2018 06:19 | #272  Permanent banI took delivery of a used Σ24A yesterday. With nothing better to do in the middle of the night, I rattled off a bunch of test shots. Conditions were dimly lit TV room with a mixture of lighting. As expected, LiveView nailed focus every time. I got roughly 70% in-focus shots using phase-detect AF. Most of the misses were back-focused. Two out of the 30 misses were front focused, badly. For the conditions, I think the lens performed about as well as Canon lenses, maybe a touch worse. It did perform worse in dimly lit areas of the room, and on targets with little contrast, but I got the 'beep' every time. Using focus assist from 580EX II made no difference. Is this, more or less, what I should expect from this lens?  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

JoseCanseco Senior Member  More info | Apr 04, 2018 13:35 | #273 Is there not much love for this lens? I picked one up recently and really like it so far. I also have the 35A, but the 24 gives a different look for sure. Here's a couple from a recent family session.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

bseitz234 Senior Member  More info | May 19, 2020 08:30 | #277 Just picked one up from LensAuthority; $500 was too good to pass up. This is my first Sigma lens, and so far I'm sold! Have only shot it on my 5d3, but this is impressive wide open...  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

bseitz234 Senior Member More info | Yeah, I haven't noticed any focus issues on the 5D3, but I haven't been in super focus-critical situations, either (if focus on that fern I just posted were a bit in front or behind, it wouldn't really change the photo much). Pet photos sound like a great idea- I'm hoping I'm going to get to see my parents for a 6-ft-distant outdoor visit this weekend, so I'll have to bring this along to try with their beagle!

I'm assuming that the issue is because of my old 1DS mk III. I have a bunch of other Canon crop sensor cameras (mirrored and mirrorless) that work fine with the lens.
