"There was a little low-contrast haze and some purple fringing, even in the center, but it quickly disappeared upon stopping down to f/4. "
"but around 35mm the lens seemed to display a slight dip in overall image quality."

crap. I think its more than what he makes it to be. tokina have a problem with haze/flare. if it performed well he would say it. he didnt say it was a fantastic performer.

all lenses had some preview review to them at some point and final outcome is pretty much the same before and after.

sigma 18-35 1.8 had jaw dropping performance.
tamron 15-30 VC the same

I think this will not be on par to the tamron 24-70 or nikon 24-70 unfortunately. Im not coming to any conclusions but if its stellar, you can see it whether its run through the lab or not.

"In general, results seemed promising. "

he diodnt say "wow nice performer"

"Compared to Sigma's shiny new Art lenses, they're downright ugly."

aint that the truth.

Okay... I reeeeeeeeeeally think we all need to just STOP TALKING about Sigma Art-series lenses. Someone starts talking about them and then suddenly I'm looking at them online and my wallet starts aching and if you have one of these lenses you KNOW what I'm talking about so again... PLEASE... We just need to stop.

*fingers in ears*
