But I'd happily still have this lens if the Sigma were discontinued, as the size difference isn't huge.

I switched to the Tamron 20-40mm which I love even more. Even smaller and an awesome versatile range. I recommend it as a great general lens for walkaround.

It's one of stop of difference, so you're halving the amount of light.

- A few people said that 28 mm on the wide end would be limiting (with the Tamron) and I would want the 24 that Sony has
- I wanted at least one Sony-branded lens: in case something went wrong with the camera, I would know that it's a problem with the camera (and not incompatibility with the lens)
- The A7C (And A7 III) have very good low-light performance. And even in low-light conditions, I can denoise afterwards (in post) and recover just about everything.
- I can lower the shutter speed if I need to. And the OSS on lens (and IBIS) helps with that.
- I got a spectacular deal on the Sony f4--about $80 more than the Tamron.
What do I think? Well, I don't have any experience with the Tamron, so take this with a grain of salt. I tend to use the higher end zoom of the Sony more than I thought. I am currently focusing on composition, so it's been handy for me to zoom into and crop a good-looking picture in the field rather than in post. But I have also come across many places where I miss the low-light performance. Particularly, last weekend shooting a dancefloor (where I was a participant, so I could not exactly bring a flash). I did come across situations (outdoors on a trip and a group shot at the dance event) where I actually used the 24mm end, but in both cases, I could've taken a few steps back and been OK.The thing people said that was the most true was: "Whichever one you pick, you'll think the other is better and probably end up buying it anyway." Which is sort of where I'm at.
I also ended up buying a few primes: Tamron 20mm 2.8 (used), Tamron 24 mm 2.8, and Sigma 45 mm 2.8.
