Considering the price savings on the Sigmas, the $60 dock is kind of trivial. Even with the dock you're looking at $1500 vs $960 for a 35/1.4. You may have a preference for Canon for other...

The two that I know:

Post 2012 Canon cameras (1DX, 5Diii, 650D+) can update the lens firmware. This was applicable to the Canon EF40mm f/2.8 STM firmware update of last year.

Panasonic made the body and lens. Leica approved the lens and allowed its name to be applied.

"shutter speeds has to be the same or it won't be a fair comparison"

I'm not talking about comparisons, I'm talking about REAL WORLD usage of the lens to produce REAL PHOTOS. The purpose of a...

But the shutter speed and ISO setting will NOT be the same.

If I am exposing at low light at max aperture, then I am using the slowest shutter speed that won't introduce blur, then adjusting the...

What can't the 35/2.1 FF do? Take the same shot in low light as the F1.4 lens, without slowing the shutter speed or raising the ISO.

For a more dramatic effect, I would have placed the bird in the long hallway with the somber pilot looking down at it...

What confuses people is that many of the apps require data to function. Google Maps will use the GPS signal, but it streams and caches the maps to your device via a data connection.   But use a...

The real-world, as opposed to their studio scene shots.

My only point is that a Facebook "like" is no different than this very ad. Neither help people directly and they are both awareness campaigns. Any criticisms of Facebook "likes" need to be...

How many people did those photos and the ad campaign help? How many people did this article on DPreview help? None directly. But it raised awareness of the issues, just like "liking" a Facebook...

"You obviously never used RAW else you would appreciate how much of a lifesaver DR can be especially with the pros"

He never said anything about DR not being important. In the *real world* Canon...

It will also control the 600RT, but via IR signal (instead of radio).

Doug J's explanation is correct. Here is a Youtube video illustrating what is happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcCumJbbwcM Note that what he calls "FP" mode is "HSS" mode on Canon flashes.

I think the guy driving the Aston Martin would buy an actual Leica M...

Why? Because he is obviously the type of person who values how others perceive him based on what he owns. He...

I don't blame DPreview. They published it so we could all have a good laugh.

I don't see a lot of rage, I see a lot of people laughing.

I'm not insisting this lens needs IS, I am saying the Canon and Sigma lenses both have their strengths. The Canon's strength is its IS.

You don't always want a narrow depth of focus and...

The well regarded Canon 17-55mm IS is about $1k. This lens is $800 and gains a stop of light, but loses the IS and the 35-55 range.

Both will have their strengths depending on what you're...
