Re: Photog on a budget: Canon 35/2 IS vs Sigma 35/1.4 ART

I had the Sigma 35mm but after hours of USB calibrating, I never got it totally right, my copy just had an AF mind of its own.

I got the Canon 35mm f2 IS and am VERY happy.  Its just as sharp and its colors feel a bit warmer to me.  Not to mention IS and a 100% working AF system.  Another thing to realize is the Sigma is a big big lens, its basically the size of a zoom.  So its size was also surprisingly off putting to me as I buy primes to lose weight.
