i was surprised by the result, makes me wonder about the 16&56mm vs the 32mm

The opinion of the DPreview staff was flawed (not just in my own opinion, if you read some of the other comments below the comparisons). Despite the Silver Award with an 85% rating, the standards of comparison were skewed against the Canon lens.

The biggest factor that people miss with these percentage ratings and awards is time. The Sigma lens was launched 2 years and 7 months before the Canon 32mm f/1.4. When the Sigma lens was launched it was a very good lens with virtually no competition.

Whay do you mean? The sigma 30mm was compared to every major 35mm lens on the market at the time, including FF lenses on FF cameras.

I was referring to crop sensor specific lenses.

Where do you guys come up with this rationale? Look, the canon 32mm is great, we dont have to come up with absurd coments to justify it.
