Currently have sony 50mm f1.4, 16-35mm F4 n 70-200mm F4. Thinking of selling 16-35mm n get this sigma lens. Please advise.

Actually the article does address the crop sensor issue if you care to read it properly.

I’m beginning to learn photography.
I want to start with wedding portraits.
Would you recommend me to buy for this a 50mm 1.2 or a 24-70 mm 2.8 ?
Regards,
Jorge Orozco

I mainly shoot handheld and am wondering if this lens does well handheld.

What is the equivalent of 24-70mm in APSC format (Sony A- series)?
Around 18-50mm in APS-C?

You might be assuming she’s working in one brand when she’s actually in another?

Is this a good lens to zoom in? I’d like to capture surfers 100’ off shore and zoom them in so I can see the board. Can I accomplish this with the 24-70 f2.8? If not, what lens would you suggest? Thanks!

And rather arrogant too (making decisions for EVERY photographer). Plenty of photographers do NOT need a 24-70 lens.
