Now we're talking, hopefully this thing is as good or better than the Canon version

Pretty excited about this lens. While I'm a bit obsessed with moving to smaller cameras (Fuji mainly) I haven't yet made the jump and I want to shoot at 24mm more than I do. I rented a Canon 24L last year and while I was initially impressed, the thing didn't focus well in the heat of battle.

As a tall guy, I find that I often crop feet more than I'd like at 35mm. 24mm is definitely something I want to use to become a better storyteller.

Was hoping for a new 85mm or 135m. Anything wider than 35mm is specialty use for me.

Just curious. What do you mean 'as good or better than the Canon version'? I'm not being argumentative, but I had two different 24L lenses and they were pretty damn great.

Thats my point, I want this lens to be able to perform as good or better than the Canon, which I think is excellent.

Ah, gottcha. I thought you were in the market for a 24mm. In that case I was just thinking "why not buy the canon!?"

The Canon is very good, but you know that the Sigma is going to cost whole lot less than the Canon.

Both of the Sigma art primes thus far have been better than the Canon versions, so I would expect the same from this. I have never actually used the Mark II version of the Canon 24, though...so I would not be able to directly compare.

What if the Sigma's a lot less in price and better optically?

A 135 1.8 would have been cool. Their current 85 a is pretty great lens, even though it weighs a ton. This 24 should be pretty incredible.

Can you imagine how many 135's they'd sell to Nikon folk ?

Cool!

Excited to see how it stacks up, and even more excited for the 85 "Art", whenever that may be.

I'm watching these Sigma Art lenses closely. But until there's a Sigma Professional Services, I have trouble justifying them.

Actually, Sigma service is no slouch... Not to mention that Canon CPS is on a huge downhill spiral the last year or two.

I didnt consider buying new. I cant remember the last new Canon lens I purchased. Used, 24L v1 goes for about $850.

I've had great experience with Sigma service and also my latest experiences with CPS has been terrible. Don't think I'm renewing my gold membership.

I'll third this ...
I've been hearing things about Sigma service that are quite impressive. Sounds better than Canon and Nikon service!
