Thanks to you guys, I bought this lens. Initial impressions are very good and it seems to suit my purpose. For landscape, stopped down, it seems to be sharp enough on the borders / corners to be usable. Wide open, it is sharp enough in the centre for indoor portraits (e.g. in restaurants).

Some unboxing pics.

The box - as usual minimalistic Sigma style.

I quite like the way Sigma includes a fitted case for all the lenses I bought.

Of course, a hood as well.

Full length with hood - about kit lens size

With a Hoya HD UV filter. The filter almost turns the lens into an IF type. The lens inner tube moves in and out but does not touch the filter.
