Re: Canon 35mm F2 IS USM or Sigma 35mm 1.4 for street photography?

You've some contradicting points so it's better to straight them out

1) Still photography is priority

2) Stopping the motion is final aim

For #1, you will have better bet with IS. For #2 you want the fastest available shutter speed at all times, which means you need the 35/1.4

The 35IS/2 is probably more compact and good to carry around.

So weight your needs and decide base on priority.
