Re: 35mm lens poll.

Sigma for me.

Not sure how much the resolution chart will show in pictures, but my Sigma 35ART is awesome. I shot the 35L and it side by side for over a week, same scene, and compared. The sigma was much better and much less. So nice that it is very hard for me to believe that even with a BR? element that the new version II will really make my pictures $800 / $1000 better. I could be proven wrong, but the sigma for now will hold it's place in my bag, and not be replaced anytime soon.....Same with the 50 Art.  Had both and Sigma won.

Mind you, I bought the dock and fine tuned both, but I had to MA my L's too to get the to be as good as they could be.  For the money, you really can't beat the New ART Series.  I will most likely keep my 85LII since it looks like Sigma is only going to offer it in 1.4 and I like the extra light and the Canon really rocks.  We shall see once the Sigma come out though.
