Well I'm ordering tomorrow and am in Belgium at the weekend so if it arrives Friday then be back next week with proper shots
Onestopdigital it is!
Did you get them to price match the ebay seller?
For me it was a case of not being able to justify why I'd pay the extra for the L when the optical quality of the Sgma appears to be as good, or better, than it at a huge price difference!
And then there's the prospect of updating the firmware and fine tuning it down the line with the dock too.
Onestop are cheaper than the eBay seller and that's with the 3year warranty

Sigma's new tweaking tool is a very good idea. I can't wait to see what lenses they'll be bringing out, and how exactly it will work. On paper it's got loads of promise.

What is?
My plan was to go FF with a 24-70, at the minute I can't afford both. Changing one doesn't work right now as my EFS lens won't fit.
Seeing more and more of these sigmas makes me consider going primes to give me the lenses on my crop which will then be useful when I do go FF as well as now.
Looking forward to seeing some results from this lens, that's for sure.

If I had the cash I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. It would mean selling my 50, 24 and maybe even 90 to put it together, however, and if I had that sort of money it could well be more worth my money getting a 5D2 so that I have micro adjust on my 85 1.4

Was just reading a Zeiss 35/1.4 review.
Interesting thing that I never paid attention to. Age of the lens when it was released.
Canon 35/2.0 - 1990
Canon 35/1.4L - 1998
Canon 50/1.4 - 1993
Zeiss 35/1.4 - 2010
Sigma 35/1.4 - 2012
The 35L is holding out well for something 15 years old, so Sigma really have no excuses if it doesn't perform, they had a decade to get their 50/1.4 ready and they had a decde and a half to try to get it the 35/1.4.
Which makes me think Canon should really update their 35L and 50/1.4 (the 1.2 is only out in 2006). Seeing they just updated their 35/2.0

there's rumors that the 50/1.4 is being updated at the beginning of next year but we shall see
id love to disagree as i am after a 50mm 1.4Yeah but it's canon so will be £900 in the uk, so won't be a realistic option for 2 years
but i think you might be correct, it will have to be cheaper the the 50mm L
but theres a big price gap between that and the 1.8
Hmm actually... Could put the put on for crimbo... if I then sell the 50 and 24 on top of that... This might actually happen! :O
Do we know if the usb dock thing can do microadjust for older lenses (85 1.4) or is it just for the new lenses? Does the 35 come with the dock as standard?
