Took me almost a year to talk myself into buying the 24z. It's a lot of money for me, but every once-in-a-while, I get a few images that make me think it's worth it. Here are a couple of recent ones I like.

Those are nice. But you were shooting with a lot of light, at very high shutter speed, and stopped down to 3.2 and 4. Do you think the Sigma 30 would give you much worse results in these conditions?

I don't know and I don't fret over the possibility that I could have saved $900 for a lens that's also very good if I had bought it instead. I've got the 24z and I'm happy. Hope everyone with the Sigma is happy too.
