Image quality
I got this lens with a rubber lens hood that I after testing this realised that its cause vignetting at next to all apertures.

Analogue B&W film
Great sharpness and it's only fairly far out you have some minor corner softness.

Build quality


Great build quality but the aperture ring feel a bit plastic when you turn it.


Conclusion

This is allot better then I first thought and for some reason you don't think a Sigma lens could be really good.
But this a really great at all levels and the only thing a don't like is the plastic aperture ring that feels cheap.

Compared this to the Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 and the Nikon got a run for its money.

Thumbs up:
Great image quality at all aperture
Great built quality
Focus down to 0.22m (0.75ft)

Thumbs down:
Plastic aperture ring
