Thanks, Doug. Interesting article, but far from decisive. I don't like the 1.7 crop. I contacted sigmacumlaude with a question about metering with R lenses. Specifically, does the Sigma exhibit the same over exposure trend that the Canons do when you stop the lens down more and more. I await their reply and will inform the group when I do.
