I know it is a Canon lens forum but being a Canon user I am very interested in seeing the review of this lens even on the Nikon mount as the test results may be translated to Canon as well - I...

I am a happy owner of Sigma 35 1.4 and I really enjoy the sharpness and low CA of this lens when it is wide open (I can compare only to Canon's 50 1.4 and 35 2).
I do not have Canon 35 1.4 but...

Following "cherry-pick" theory, I should be a very important person in the world of photo gear as my copy of Sigma 35 1.4 is astonishing sharp virtually without CA wide open :))

I do not see either, moreover Sigma's circles  look nicer - more rounded.

I do not have experience with 35L but I have Sigma 35 1.4 - to me it is very sharp wide open, much sharper than canon 50 1.4 which I also use a lot at 1.4-1.8. Vignetting is not an issue to my...

Hi, Abrama -I am somewhat in your dilemma at the moment – I have 24-105 with 5dIII (+other nice lens lineup including 16-35II, 50 1.4, 70-200 2.8II, 100 2.8IS).I love 24-105 – it is rather sharp...

Bushkape, thanks for the link!What I got from Stepan's short review:- siggie is very shart starting 1.4 (similar to 35L at 2.0f)- bokeh is very nice, very similar to 35L - siggie has a very strong...

Great shot!I am not a big fan of the 3rd party OEMs either but this lens looks very promising...Could you please comment on bokeh - is it that 'nervious' indeed like mentioned in the following post...

Sigma 35 1.4's MTF is awesome - wide open much better than canon 1.4, and very close to the new canon 35 2 IS which in fact one stop slower than sigma. I agree - the new Sigma's design is very...

I have called Tin Cheung shop - the seller said that they had received and instantly sold out 10 copies of 24-70 II. They do not know how many will arrive and work only at a pre-order.Funny...

25% mark up is too much but I think I am ready to pay some $2400-2500 for the lens which is above the street price for about USD 200-300.Is there any body who knows the current availability of...

Normally, if something is fully preordered, there would still some items in the market but at a higher prices.Do you know what is the current mark-up to the listed price for 24-70 II which are...

Thanks for sharing!I passed by a number of small shops (a little bit bigger than my kitchen) in HK and I just cannot understand how people can have enough courage to buy expensive equipment there....

hi, guysa friend of mine is travelling to HK in a couple of weeks and he agreed to bring me a brand new 24-70. (In Russia it is currently priced at around USD 3200 which a ridiculous).Please let me...

Russia is not that different that you may think. If I were you, I would take all the stuff. If you do not feel comfortable carrying three lenses all the time, you may leave some glass on the boat...

Despite of these defects (which could have been eliminated by Canon in the new product batches IMHO...), I still think that 24-105 is a fantastic versatile lens and it has no competitor in "if you...

My congratulations, sir! Welcome to the club of ghost 24-105!Please be prepared to the next stage when you will need to replace the aperture unit in assembly (normally, it is 2 years of intensive...

yep, sure, the new radio flash system offers much better functionality as compared to the old IR-way of triggerring flash.Nevertheless, I think 90ex would a great addtion (despite its plastic...
