I'd jump on this too, if it had a 35mm lens. It seems to be Ricoh's tradition to go to 28 for the GR - Maybe they'll revise to a 35 model in the lineup later on...

I emailed Sigma in discussion about whether they might add Stabilisation to the new 85mm 1.4 - the response was:There are currently no plans to add stabilisation to the 85mm.They didn't say that...

If you want the wide angle, then great - I'd consider buying this.

I'd prefer a 35mm Equivalent though. Even if it was 2.8. Then it would be a hard choice between this and an x100s.

Right now,...

This is great news - Sigma's recent 'New' lenses are getting great reviews - just have a look for reviews of the 35 1.4.

I'm just waiting for the next iteration of the 85 1.4 perhaps with...

There aren't necessarily rules when it comes to the philosophical question of capturing something & telling a story - being in the right place at the right time with whatever device/tool you have,...

Quote " I have shot thousands of weddings [....] since last March"

That's pretty intense. I'm a professional Wedding Photographer, and I don't think I even managed to fulfil 'hundreds' of weddings...

P.S - it might frighten you to learn that "quite a few" wedding photographers I know actually shoot on a *wait for it* - medium format FILM camera.... Or even have heard about Digital Backs, or...

hey @DStudio, what gives?! I'm a Pro Wedding Photographer, I started 10 yrs ago with Capture 1 Pro (v3, I think). Since then I've used LR (Hated it), C1 Pro (Excellent RAW conversion, but no real...

Another lame car analogy on a camera forum is tiresome, predictable, pointless, and of no value whatsoever. May as well 'discuss' that, professor.

Apart from an indication of sharpness, falloff, contrast. A couple of these images show how the lens might cope with flare and ghosting.
So not much there. Can't really learn much.

Really impressed with this, especially when compared to the more expensive Nikon equivalent.
I'm keeping my eyes peeled for Sigma's next generation 85 1.4. Coupled with this 35mm is probably all...

Well, i love the styling of this lens. It would be good to know if this is an indication of where Sigma are headed in this regard - I'd like to see a new 85mm 1.4 (with IS/VR or whatever Sigma call...

I love my bag! I love it! I just really love it... etc.

This is really actually very rubbish. It's only innovative if it's remarkably good. You can pretty much strap a camera to anything. So what?

It wasn't lens specific it seems. An 85 1.4 and a 50 1.8, both D lenses. -- examples of my photography at http://www.alexanderleaman.co.uk

Thanks for all the replies on this. To Clarify:The over exposure problems and hot highlights were not exclusive to Matrix metering. Sometimes happened in spot, too. And sometimes wildly different...

humour me...

I'll post some examples later.Shooting last Saturday my D800 was being very difficult. It's like it suddenly couldn't meter properly, and the dynamic range I've become used to was just all over...
