I have the Sigma 18-35/3.5-4.5 ASP AF, and while it's drawing is quite good
it is very flare-susceptible. In addition, the tulip lenshood blocks part
of the light from the RTF on both my modern Pentaxes, so I'll probably sell
it for the new 12-24, or 18-55.

I have the Sigma 50mm Macro EX and couldn't be more pleased with it. Sure
I would prefer the equivalent Pentax but I'm happy to have paid 1/3 the
price. Sigma has had poor, lower quality, non compatible lenses in the
past but do any of the newer Sigmas still have these problems? Most
reviews I have seen of the EX and DG seem to report at least good results.
So has anyone had poor results with a late model Sigma lens?
