News Sigma 20-200mm f3.5/6.3 DG

I'm not writing it off yet but I won't be surprised if it comes up a bit too short in terms of sharpness across the frame. From what I have seen so far it looks like it's most compromised at the wide end in the corners. I guess there is always the possibility that it would improve enough zoomed in slightly to be useable for landscape. I'm waiting for more representative shots before I decide to try one though.

If it works as a decent 24-200 then I'd be happy.
 
Yes a good 24-200 would work for me too.
 
I downloaded some of the example images from DPR's site. I think there's some cause for hope. But it needs some much better samples than these to properly establish its performance.
 
And this review by Gordon Laing (on an S1Rii) is also pretty positive:



He does his usual diagonal shooting of the Brighton seascape and even in the corners it performs pretty well.

Yes I agree but I would also like to examine the images that he posts on his website. It could be some while though because understandably he focusses on knocking out his comprehensive video reviews first.

Yes, I agree. There are very few sample images available at the moment. Guess we need to be patient.
