It has been four years since I last reviewed a premium Sigma DN prime lens designed specifically for APS-C. The last one that I tested was the Sigma 56mm F1.4 DN, which impressed me as a portrait/short telephoto lens that was extremely sharp (one of the sharpest APS-C lenses that Ive tested).

Madavor Media acquired Imaging Resource on March 18, 2020, and the site continued to exist under the new management. “If IR is to continue in any […]
I’d love one of those super telephoto lenses in the 800mm range that Canon launched last year. Unfortunately, I don’t quite have the spare $17,000 to be able to afford one.
