Interesting Gerald undone even types on youtube video of Dustin Abott a response that he got a magical copy, and Dustin responds that he will look into it and respond on video of Gerald :o
Either way if Dustin's video is accurate of what production sample will be, i'm al onto this Sigma i think. Purely speaking the GM has most lust factor, (record mtf, speed af), 100 gram less weight, but this Sigma does almost everything the GM does, and for much better price. Also americans, don't let your price detract from european reality, the GM is 1700€ (1600 with temporary cashback), The sigma from the looks of it is 849€!!! That is less then after the price hike of the DSLR 35mm (899€ after price hike, 729€ before, when i bought mine). That is half the price of the Gmaster. Imo in EU, the Gmaster has to drop to at least 1299€ to be competitive (the 24mm GM started 1600 euro but is now 1400€ and cashback 1300€ (got mine used for 1150€, but you can find em now for 1000€), that last price would be epic for a good used GM copy, but any high, i just don't see the worth of it. To be honest i find the 50mm F1.2 gmaster much more 'it's 2299€ worth' (even though it's less my focal length) then the 35mm GM is worth 1700€.
And let's not forget 35mm F1.2 from Sigma (cheaper still then GM, especially used). I think bokeh (even on F1.4-f2) is better then any competitor, colour rendering is epic, and infinity sharpness is more then excellent (at least as good as F1.4 from Sigma, but i think for landscape it's just as good as the GM (the GM has more resolution close probably).
Secretly this also make the Sigma 35mm F2 seem really good.
One advantage of the Sigma is single lens focus group. Both reliability (how long the motor will last) and how fast, clean it can focus, i think among third party lenses it will be very good. The gm, just seems to have more 'magnet' horsepower (but not per se more efficient). Even though focussing seems power efficient, i wouldnt be amazed the Sigma has a longer battery life impact because of this.
