Like others have said, the 16/1.4 is way too heavy and bulky for me to carry, especially since it's a focal length I don't use particularly often. I can manage with the wide end of the 15-45 kit lens.

I wish lens makers would stop trying to out-do each other with large, heavy f1.4 efforts and make more pancakes and small, light f2 or f2.8 primes.

And my desire is just the opposite. I’d love a fast 22mm f/1.4 to pair with my 16, 32, and 56mm f/1.4 lenses! These guys really kick butt!

Yep, I think Sigma made a mistake with the 30mm f/1.4 IMHO. Looks like they have to sell it now for much less to compete against Canon's 32mm.

I'd have bought in a snap, a Sigma 23mm f/1.4 instead. The quintessential FOV for general photography.
Yes, there is the Viltrox 23mm but that silver thing is unsightly and the quality no better than the Canon 22mm considering its size.
