Santa brought these two lenses for my lad to use on his M6ii this morning. All I can say is WOW! They really are both a bit special and have me now considering Sigma primes for my EOS R.

the other one in the trio is the Canon 32 F1.4

You mean the Sigma 30/1.4 right? which is a tiny bit wider than the equally brilliant Canon 30/1.4 and significantly cheaper.

I have the Sigma 30 and 56/1.4s and they are both amazing especially the 56/1.4. "L" quality lens for sure!

No doubt that the Sigma 30 is as good as the 16 and 56, but most folks likely had the Canon 32 already, and added the 16 and 56 to fill out the trio.  If Canon hadn’t released the 32, I think all of us would indeed be owning the Sigma 30 as well!  

It’s too bad that Sigma never got around to bringing us a 24 f/1.4, because I would have snapped that one up too!  The little Canon 22 f/2 is a sweet micro pancake, but a faster aperture and faster AF would be welcome by (at least) myself for some types of shooting.
