I'm becoming quite dissatisfied with my FAJ 18-35. The build quality
just doesn't seem solid. When I use a polarizer, the front barrel
slops around as I'm turning the filter, and it goes out of focus. It
feels very mushy.
Has anyone experience with the Sigma 17-35mm f2.8-4 DG EX Aspherical
zoom? Specifically the later DG EX w/77mm filter ring, NOT the earlier
EX w/82mm filter ring.
I'm not really interested in Pentax's new DA lenses because I do still
shoot film, and I want something that will work with my PZ-1P as well
as my DSLRs. The FAJ 18-35 does that, but I'm considering the Sigma as
a replacement due to the poor build quality of the Pentax lens.
The reviews I've read seem to indicate this is a solidly built lens,
but I'd like to know anything the group might relate from experience
using it.
Unless you need the extra speed at the short end, then I'd recommend the
Pentax FA 20-35 f4.0, yes, it's not quite as wide as the FAJ or the
Sigma, but the build is solid, and it's a very, very, very good
performer on both film and digital.
