Sigma 30mm vs Sigma 35mm on a crop body

But there has been a lot of buzz about the new Sigma 35mm so I was just seeing whether it is much better then 30mm

Of course the new 35mm is better, it's the sharpest 35mm out in the market atm.

In the end it costs 2x more than the 30mm.

But Sigma 35mm on crop? Nah it's a waste.:p

I have both. If you can afford the 35, get it. There is simply no contest (unless you want something smaller and lighter, which is somewhere the 35 fails at).
The 35 is sharper wide open, which is noticeable on crop, it has rounded aperture blades, the 35's focus ring is so much nicer, and the build quality is also so much nicer. Well worth double the price.

As much as I love the 30, I can no longer recommend it aside from as a budget option!

Just got the 30 for a Christmas present...so far very happy.
