not buying one
but I guess for the money, and a wedding shooter... it's not a bad lens to have in the bag, just in case something breaks.

Hmm, wondering if we're gonna see a lot more of these deals?? Maybe the 24-70 art will be released soon

That seems like the most likely case, a new 24-70-ish lens. Not sure if we should expect a Sport, Contemporary, or Art version or some combination thereof.

I would guess it would be Art. The Contemporary line is really basically the budget/consumer line. Sports really seems to mean telephotos (makes sense) which the 24-70 is not. Add to that that 24-70 is a bread-and-butter Pro lens and lately has become something of a flagship lens for the manufacturers and that the Art label is associated with Sigma's new super high performance/flagship primes. Although to your point, I don't think they've made an Art zoom*.

As might be obviously, I am very interested in Sigma to make a new 24-70 (ideally stabilized) and I think these discounts start to hint at it getting closer.

Edit* I mean to say, I don't think they've made an Art Zoom

Uhhh, I'm pretty sure (having owned both) that the 35.1.4 and 50 1.4 are Art series lenses.

Yeah, maybe. There are only 2 in the sports line and they are big long tele zooms, but it is too soon to tell. I'd wager that if they update their 70-200, at least one version would be a Sport version. Could they do a 24-70 Sport with multi-focus modes and make it consistent with the others? Maybe. There are only a handful of lenses in the Contemporary lineup as well, and they mostly look like legacy Sigma lenses with a cosmetic (maybe more) refresh (17-70 for example). I could see an inexpensive 24-70 falling into this category. Most of the exciting stuff is in the Art line, though. Not sure what your last comment was about prime lenses. There are both prime and zoom Art lenses, though more primes at this point.

Bad typo on my part, I mean to say I couldn't remember a Sigma Art zoom*

I don't see Sigma making an inexpensive 24-70. 24-70 is flagship zoom territory. They have the 24-105 for a cheaper option. *I just remembered that the 24-105 is an Art lens, furthering my belief that the 24-70 will be an Art lens, stabilized based on the patent, and very likely (and unfortunately for me) to be an 82mm filter size.

To your point about the 70-200, that's a very good question. Art almost seems like the least likely for that lens.

The 24-35 f2, 18-35 1.8, and 50-100 1.8 are also Art lenses I believe.
