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.
What does RTF stand for?
The standard lens hood (and sometimes the lens) from nearly any wide
angle lens other than the DA18-55 will partially block the D/DS built-
in flash units... The DA14, DA16-24, FA28-105, FA20-35 all block the
built in flash to some degree on my DS. Setting focal length on the
zooms to near 30mm minimizes it, using aftermarket lens hoods does too.
