Someone needs to test the close up performance, which has plagued many Sigma lenses like the 35i
Magnification is 1:5.4 = 0.18x, which is not as good as the 35GM (0.23x AF, 0.26x MF)
Yes, that's a good point. The first version had lousy performance up close (well basically at MFD, but still AFAIR).
Looks alright at 7:40 in Christopher Frost's review (also supposedly focuses a bit closer than advertised) :
I'd also argue that a smaller magnification ratio at MFD actually means lesser focus breathing ...
IMO If focus breathing is a problem get the Sony lens and turn on compensation.
Sigma has almost no breathing and no distortions, GM has pincushion. Gerald Undone says Sony even after using breathing compensation which results in narrower view has more breathing than this Sigma. Sony still pulse a bit.
He also mentions Sony has bad distortion at MFD and Sigma has none, you can see the comparison and Sigma offers slightly lower MFD but completely undistorted.
