Does have somebody experience with these lenses ? The Sigma seems a rather good one and can be bought for much less than the EF 24/2.8 .But the difference is so big in IQ ? The sigma fits on the film EOS , and there I'd need a 24 compact prime for the APS IX and the EOS 50e .But I won't pay 150-250 E for the EF

If it's the Mini-wide II, that lens has been much lauded.

No personal experience with it. Sigma made some real gems and some suckers.

You may find a review of the EF at kenrockwell maybe

If it is the AF version of the Super-Wide II, it will be a good lens for EOS film cams.

Eh, they just made too many lenses. Ultra wide, mini wide, super wide .. One of them 24 or 28 was said to be spectacular and much sought-after. If you are cheap and 28mm are ok you could also try the 28-70 3.5-4.5 High Speed AF. A little underrated gem

Yes, the Super-wide II Macro 24mm 2.8

Well Sigma back then must have known they made a VG MF lens i.e. 24mm f2.8 superwide II, and I'd be surprised if they changed the optics and made a different AF lens that was inferior.

BTW I only have the MF one and it's excellent.
