Replacing my Canon 7D, Tokina 12-24mm, Canon 17-55mm, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4, and 150-500mm with a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I still have the 17-55 and the 30 available for sale.

Amazon has the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM for $809 shipped, no tax. Best of all, the lens is backordered so I'll have a cooling off period. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is also on sale but I figured that my 12-24mm f/4 will cover that spot for now. Good move. I have done the same. Looking through this forum and as many reviews as I could find, it appears as though its on a par with the 85L. First impressions of mine are very very good although I sent mine back to be exchanged for another copy for a number of reasons - still waiting for the delivery.... to be OR NOT to be = 1 (which is "to be" so that one's cleared up at last

The holy trinity is a well regarded set around here: 35L, 85L, 135L. Substitute the 35 for 24 or add to it if you like the FL.
