>>3298216Maybe because you compared the cheapest Sony lenses to the best Sigma lenses.
I can tell from experience Sigma excel at cheapening out as well, especially on this series of lenses.
Slippery focus ring finish. Meant to look shiny, not not so much handle well.
Thin metal surface, you can feel right underneath the metal it bumps against another surface, like driving on a road of gravel.
The more expensive high end Sony lenses are second to no one in this regard, they are usually well dampened.
Especially the ones with dedicated Aperture ring, which is rare in this industry.
Includes Auto mode in the Aperture range.
Clickable, and de-clickable by the flick of a lever.
whereas the other two FF makers typically eliminate it from the lens for cost saving purposes.
