I've seen 17-55s going for around the £300-350 mark these days which is dirt cheap for the quality it offers.

Where have you seen that? I always seem to see them go above 400

And yes the sigma would be new @565. Which is basically the same as the 17-55mm
 
Thanks for all the input guys. I'm ordering tonight and still don't fully know which way I'm going. But I don't really think more replies will help!

All options take great pictures (I suppose they should at 500 pounds each, in fact the same price new) and both definitely are fundamentally different!
 
Yeah 2 and 3 look a Lil over exposed.
4 is my favourite

From the first batch of 2 (in the other post) I really like those two

Edit
Maybe 5 as well is a tad.

But I'm not one who should be making comments!
 
New lens arrives hopefully this week
Hoping to try it out this weekend if it gets here
 
yeah i just went for 1. and very well packed, great service. Had two pieces of kit from DR now.

i did go for the sigma 35mm 1.4 in the end.
its fairly heavy for what it is!

one try out pic

Io (35mm f1.4 A try out) by Al4x, on Flickr

one thing i am finding in general is autofocus more often than not just doesnt work.
this isnt just with this lens. most of my pictures recently are not in focus. sometimes very very far out

Thanks!

Now imagine that he moves around non-stop.

I am on my stomach on the floor so can't really move that fast, imagine army men movement.

It was shot with a 35/1.4 at 1.4 so there was no zoom, no way to chase after him and really shallow DoF...

I must've been insane ! :D

p.s. that was shot with 5D Mkii (two), with the outer point focusing...
