This is a dream lens for me, honestly. And I've said that numerous times on these forums. I'd prefer it be from Canon and be an L lens (I wasn't enamored with the 35/2 IS). I shoot weddings with the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II on one body and the 35L II on the other and having an L 35-70 would provide more versatility, despite the fact that I don't feel hampered by the 35L II in any way. I'd also likely take it as a one-lens solution for theme parks as we frequently go to Busch Gardens (6-12x/year) and less frequently to Sea World and Disney (2x/yr each). Or I might also bring the 70-200.

Honestly, if the 85/1.4L IS that's rumored from Canon materializes, I'd rather have it.

  • 100-300 / 4S OS

Not my cup of tea, but I could see how it would be quite useful as MANY people use their 70-200 zooms almost exclusively towards the long end or at least the latter half of the zoom range. It would work with TC's (presumably) as well.

I made my options all Sigma since I think that there is a far higher chance Sigma would make these lenses than Canon (although the chance is still close to zero), but who makes them doesn't matter with regards to this poll.

I'd prefer Canon. I've had mixed luck with Sigma's Art lenses. My 35/1.4 is no longer mine due to incredibly inconsistent AF but the 50/1.4 is used quite often and once tuned with the dock is pretty awesome. But it feels sterile compared to the 35/1.4L II.

Good poll!
