Canon lens are so expensive. One post here says there will be an price increase next month.

So what is your favorite non-Canon FF lens (Tamron, Sigma, Tokina etc) that is supplied with a Canon FF, 5D MKII mount?

However, I got mine brand new for $369.

It's not just Canon lenses that are going up, it's the Yen.

Sigma 50/1.4 is my default lens on FF. Flawless.

I can't really say "favourite" because it's my only non-Canon FF lens, but the Sigma 150 mm macro is superb.
 
This is truly a flawless lens, it's tack sharp from corner to corner at all aperatures even on a FF. Colors and contrast/microcontrast is also the best I have ever seen. This lens makes my 5D truly shine. There is no distortion and virtually no CA or flare problem. As an added benefit it's also a true 1:1 macro. No other lens I have ever heard of can rival the price/performance ratio of this lens, or even just the performance alone :-)
 
My Tamron 180mm macro is very, very nice, but

my Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 is my favourite non Canon lens. It's a beast, large and heavy, but the results are worth it.

Not sure I'd label it as a 'favorite' but my most used non-Canon is the Sigma 50-500.

Can't say I have a favorite because they all serve different purposes.
 
Nothing else like it on FF and genuinely ultrwide on APS-H.

Both great lenses. The 12-24 is a killer lens - some great perspectives. The 20 f1.8 also great - nothing in Canon's lineup like that.
