I just picked up the Siggy 24mm 1.4 Art. Very exciting stuff!
Early stages... considering i got it yesterday. But... seems awesome, better at 1.4 than i thought. AF seems fine. Will be posting a full review on this lens a bit later on after I get to know it a bit.
For now here are a couple, and a blog post on my site with more samples.
This question is going to seem off of the wall, but I currently own no third party lenses and this is something that I was thinking of recently. I've owned a few when I had camera bodies with micro adjust, but never used it until the 5D3 (I wanted both W and T adjustment). By then, I had no third party lenses.
The question is this; When you mount a Sigma lens (or any third party with an AF feature) to a Canon body with the micro adjust feature, are you able to make adjustments that the camera will store for that lens? Please understand I am not asking about the Sigma dock or anything along those lines. I'm specifically asking if the Canon body will store an AF parameter for a Sigma lens.

Thanks
Yes they will.
But you can also get the sigma dock and reprogram the lens itself (at least for art/sport lenses)
Hey guys, hope you like the photos. Its a nice little lens.
Regarding the micro adjustment, as others have said, yes, you have full functionality. Sigma Art (and sport) lenses can also be tuned with the the docking station and optimization software. I brushed on this in my 50mm 1.4 review:
I never tried to fine-tune a Sigma lens using the camera (I have an old non-Art Sigma) but it is recognized (though only by focal length) and settings are probably stored.
