DXO Marked??? lens?? Love to see this –
Have we seen any DXO official testing timeline from
DXO on this lens
would love to see DXO results on the bodies of and
compared on Sony Alphas, Nikon and Canon Bodies??
curious – DXO refuses to test the
SONY APS-C 16-50 SAL1650 f/2.8 DT lens
the results must be pretty bad for that to happen.
DXO put it in PERMANENT PREVIEW PIGEON HOLE
While you’re waiting for DXO tests&numbers there will be people who simply take photos with this lens.
Amen!! Get so caught up in theory and numbers, does the individual ever use the camera? (@J@)
Most of the guys not.
Btw, there is an interesting article in DP from Oliver Duong about G.A.S. (Gear addiction syndrom) – I assume most of the “where are the DxO Charts?”-Guys will find them described in his article… 🙂
Yes. Someone can use the best rated gear, but if it lacks of composition and “soul” the result will fail. It’s not just a matter of pixels.
Have YOU been DXO marked? I’m curious to see the results of that. I anticipate low resolution with quite a bit of aberrations.
I get the impression quite a few posters would test with low IQ and severe aberrations!
because it doesn’t ship until the end of the month?
LOVE THAT SIGMA WORKING WITH DXO
AND
OTHER CREDIBLE THIRD PARTY TESTING REVIEWERS
GREAT COMPANY
FanBoys – Please help our SONY user community.
Supporting Sony’s refusal
1) to submit their products for Credible third party test
and
2) NOT cooperate with their user community looking for value
Does NOT – Support our user community NOR does it encourage SONY to work with others
Your comments just drive New Users right to Nikon and Canon – Great Job Guys
Sigma would be an even better company if they’d cough up the money to have licensed implementation of various mounts (and assorted communications protocols). Reverse engineering is good, but it does have limits.
I don’t know why you’re saying that Sony isn’t cooperating with dxo labs. Are you privy to information that no one else is clued in to? It seems to me that dxo just published a slew of reviews of various Sony lenses. Conspiracy theory aside, I rather like the 16-50mm f2.8 lens. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Clearly English isn’t your first language, and that’s fine– but when you don’t even take the time to re-read what you write, the result is flaws on tops of flaws, and it’s hard to stomach. I’m not trying to be an ass or a grammar Nazi, but have a little respect for the language you are trying to communicate in. It would go a long way.

Review of the new Sigma lens, which is impressive!!!
Any news about the real shipping dates? It it to make fun of people, not to telle them, when they can expect the lens :(.
