Just received new lens today purchased from B&H Photo. Hope this will be my "go to" lens on my D800e for African Safari trip next month. I also have Sony a6500 with 18-105mm (my wife will use this). I went to backyard and took some quick shots just to get an idea of sharpness. I have a few weeks to play with this setup before trip so hope it meet my needs.
Dunno how rental shops maintain their lenses, Sigma lenses can be "tweaked" using USB dock. Could performance of these lenses have been effected by customization?
I am interested in responses on this post. I will also be visiting Africa (Botswana, Zambia, S.Africa and Zimbabwe) in late June for Safari via OAT Travel.
I bought the same at Costco for my D800e. No problems on camera and I use a card reader. However, I rarely offload from sd card as I set option to write jpeg to it. I off load the raw from the CF card.
