Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM

Sigma has a bunch of new lenses releasing this year and none were given estimated ship dates. I don't know why we are assuming anything at this point.

I give up. Ended up buying a Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 for my Minolta instead.

i gave up too... got the Canon 85 1.8 instead.

I'm guessing Sigma just announced every lens for 2010 at the start of the year...

I did contact Sigma corp today. They said Sigma 85mm 1.4 will be shipped mid september in USA.

about fu**ing time, eh!

77mm filter is bit of a turn off. I have all 72mm filters... would it be okay to get a step up ring and use them on 77mm lens without any issues?

On the contrary, 77mm filter is a big plus for me since most of my lenses have share the same filter size

You would need a step down ring, 77-72, and would probably have to crop your photos as the edge of the filter will likely be visable, at the very least in the corners of the frame. Better to get some 77mm filters and step them down for use on your other lenses.

If you are shooting 1.6 or 1.3x crop, then I doubt you would see that last 5mm of the lens anyway, but on FF, I would suspect it would show up as vignetting in the image.

thanks for the information.... i didnt think there would be any issues. Im using a ring right now to use my 72mm filters on my 58mm lens and i have no issues.

But I can see how using a smaller filter on a larger lens might cause some issues like that.

I got excited when I saw this thread. But then excitement turned to disappointment. Thread should be closed!

agreed - 5 pages and no photos - needs to be moved to " 'Equipment Talk' section > Canon EF and EF-S Lense"

It's going to be released next month...

ouuuuuoou,

fife pages about a lens exciting so many among us and yet another post without an image
