Can someone explain the big deal about this lens?
How is this so much better then the Sigma 30mm F1.4 which is half the price?
The only thing I see is that its for FF vs the 30mm is crop.. but is that it?

Canon QC and 4 stop IS and much smaller size. I will be able to hand hold 0.5s shots with that guy. 1 stop and no IS for same price, no thanks. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95

On 7d, might as well get 30mm f1.4. Fuji XT-1, 18-55mm

I find IS on short focal lengths incredibly useful. Also I will be getting 5D III eventually. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95

More groups and elements, 9 blade over 8 diaphragm blades. A should be sharper wide open than the 30, better colors, we will see I like my 30mm, but I love my 85mm, is this lens is like my 85mm I will be jumping on it as fast as I can. 7D, 70-200L 2.8 IS II, some rocks and hammers...

It's one of three lenses that are the first to come from Sigma's new lines. QC is supposed to be their focus now. Every lens is subject to Sigma's improved testing capability. 5D mark 3, 5D mark 2, 50 f1.4, 85 f1.8, 17-40L, 135L

Would you get the new Canon 35 f/2 over its 35L? Daniel

If not, then why not? That should be the reason similar as to why this new Sigma is so looked forward to. To each their own. Yes I would get the f/2 over the L. IS and the small size is more important than one extra stop. 7D l Canon 70-200 f/4L IS l Canon 85mm f/1.8 l ∑ 17-50 f/2.8 l Canon 50mm f/1.8 II l S95
