OMG, this must be the lens where I was hoping for. A wide angle which is fast. If it is sharp this would be a killer lens.
Hope they will actually make this lens.

Hopefully (but unlikely) it will take 77mm filters. If it has good sharpness at f2 I can see a lot of people jumping on this, especially for star photography.

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Jan 08, 2014 10:50 | #8 So let me play devil's advocate. I had the Sigma 18-35/1.8 for a short while. That was usable on a full frame body up to around 28mm, so it is effectively an 18-28/1.8 lens on a full frame body. Why would that not be more attractive than a 16-20/2? Is 2mm on the wide end really worth it? Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

From what I gathered from this FM thread , it was only usable at 35mm on FF.2mm on the wide end does make a difference. D'oh! The cold froze my brain! It's usable 28-35mm. I even owned the lens for a brief period, too! Please disregard my earlier comment and shoot me dead. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.

Nick3434 Goldmember  More info | Jan 08, 2014 18:38 | #12 If it is very usable at 2.0 and sharp stopped down for landscape.....16-20 is actually not a bad range as I think 4mm at that end is a bigger deal than it sounds like. I would rather see a 16 1.4/1.8, but this sounds good. Everything is relative.
