GM- Thanks for the link to the thread and for sharing your tests. After looking at these images, I cancelled my order for a Sigma 85 f/1.4 and placed a new order for a 65 f/2, which should be a better general purpose lens to compliment the 35 for travel.
This will give me 20G, i35, i65, 105 macro. All Sigma except for the 20.

Great look forward to seeing images . I?ll start a BB on the 65 soon. And please anyone join in with tests and comments. My goal here is to help always

Well I have been too busy with work to take this out and properly shoot with it. Hopefully in the next couple days. The build is great and it is surprising that it is only slightly bigger than my CV 35mm 1.2. Both share the 58mm filter (step up to 67mm) thread which is handy. Since the Sigma is slightly fatter the step up ring looks better on the Sigma vs the CV. I can tell the CV is slightly sharper at f2 than the Sigma ( at least my copy) although you probably would not notice it in real world use. AF seems reliable and fast enough. The manual focus feel is surprisingly good. Not really fair comparing to the CV but for an AF lens it is not bad. Could be a little more damped I think for my liking. One thing that I do prefer on the CV is I like having the focus ring in close to the body. On the Sigma it is out at the end. Nitpicks I could get use to. I can tell though I would miss the ability to go to 1.2 though. Which is why I probably will still try the GM at some point. Whenever I can get my hands on one.
