While the Canon has some decent center sharpness wide open, overall it’s a total overpriced piece of crap, as is the Nikon equivalent. I want to check the Sigma out to see if it lives up to it hype. So far the best 35mm I’ve seen is the Samyang, unfortunately not at f/1.4.

I doubt a wedding will put you in a situation where the marginal weather sealing of a select few L lenses will actually be of use.

I have no doubts that the Sigma 35mm is excellent, FYI…I just question DxOMark in general these days

Only diehard serious optic shooters will buy the Sigma. Go talk to the average semi pro shooter or wedding shooter. They will only go with their brand’s optics no matter what.

I would like to see this lens mounted on the SD1 merrill as opposed to the Canon system. The SD1 is truly amazing.

This Sigma looks like it will let me have my cake and eat it too! I’ve still got to wait till they start discounting it some (if they do) but if it’s all it’s cracked up to be, I’m in.
