In other words, none. I thought as much.


Looks like you try to invent facts.


Since I suppose you'll ask, or assume, my wife and I own four of them. Are
they the best lenses we own? No. But all have been a very good value for the
money.


Ok. You own *F*O*U*R* Sigma lenses. Probably bought over
several years. How many percent of Sigma's lenses are they?

Consider: their annual turnover is 36 billion yen (that's roughly
450 million USD).

See the point why 4 so-so-but-real-cheap lenses just don't say much?
We get many more 1 million EUR lottery winners per year ...
from a single lottery.
