Excellent! Told you it was impressive in weight, sharpness, AF etc
Roll on the 35mm!
Sigma are definitely winning with these lenses
Aye definitely. I'll have the 35mm F1.4 on my hitlist, especially at the sort of prices these sigma lenses sell for compared to the nikon equivalents.

Getting 35L and 580exii repaired from Elstree.
£104 flat rate for the flash, regardless of parts and labour.
£100 cap on 35L, if it goes over they'll contact me for authorisation to up the limit, could be less.
Fair dues on the lens, as I ask for a service as well as replacing the screen but the flat rate for the flash confuses me a bit. The unit must cost less than that to produce because why have a flat rate? The flash won't fire so it could be anything from power to PCB to bulb.

How many flashes have you had die now RL?
Why not just cut your losses and just sell it once fixed. Maybe get some 430exii's for off camera and/or a 680 if the reliability issues have been resolved.

Plastic window that shows focus distance is cracked, cosmetic damage really but want it fixed and I think it happened during a flight so will claim on travel instance.
Just 1. It's the same one from 18 months ago.
At the sort of "Pop" the 85 is giving images, you can only imagine what the 35mm will give
I wish they'd at the very least post sample images if not a release date!I think I will take the 85 and 17-40 with me to the photo meet. The latter for if we see any interesting architecture with the 85 for everything else. Should be a blast

Aye should give some very nice results, especially when the sun sets and all the street lights come on. Bokehlicious...
It's actually perfect for flashless night time street photos, the 35 and 85 will come into their own. Bung on ISO 2000 and 1/80s~ and go wild
The 50mm 1.4 does a great job but that range doesn't have the look and feel of the 85mm really and if the reports of the 35mm are true then it should be just as good.

Ha yup. I think I might take mine into uni with me tomorrow and get some candids if I get chance. Sadly tomorrow morning is manic so we'll see!

EXIF STRIPPED!
Bannable offence
I once took my camera to a bar but down here people aren't as forgiving having a camera pointing in their direction. Probably because it's a bit chavvy in areas here
Which reminds me, I need to contact some clubs for in house photo deals for promotion!

***warning*** incoming noob question....
How do you work out the effective focal length of a lens when fitted to a non full frame camera like the D7000?

Yeah, stripping the Exif is not cool!
Who's the girl?
As a side point, seeing as Mrk brought up people having camera's pointed in their face, how do people get away with street candid photography and people in general not liking having their pictures taken?
