anyone know the difference between these two lenses?

almost the same focal length, same aperture and both macro capable. did the upgrade anything from the 28mm to the 24mm. I can't see much difference on them from the sigma website and I want to pick up one of these lenses...

Thanks

they are both of similar design. the biggest difference is the 4mm, so make your decisions from there.

personally i also have a 35mm, so the 24mm made much more sense than the 28mm

I am leaning towards the 24mm as well. I did see they are very similar in build / optics but i didn't understand the ~$80 price difference of the 24mm over the 28mm
