The lack of OS makes it seem plausible to me, because that would make it larger and more expensive. This could very easily be a $950 lens. My junk

HMMM this seriously making me rethink what lens I'll be buying to replace my kit zoom. I was considering the tamron 17-50 but if this sigma is a stop faster and given I already own both a 40mm 2.8 and a 50 1.8 this might fit in best with my current lineup.

Canon's lens lineup is getting very stale with no refreshes or anything new in sight. 7D | 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM | 28mm f/1.8 USM | 50mm f/1.4 USM | 70-200mm f/4L IS USM | 430ex II

Any guesses on price point fellas? I'm thinking it'll be in the $500 range personally Body:50D gripped Magic Lantern'd

Apr 18, 2013 08:12 | #11 I bet it will be ~1k to compete with 17-55 f/2.8. And wow; with the USB dock out now; this could be an amazing walk around on crop. [6D]

After thinking about it for a bit I think the poster that guessed around $1K to compete with the 17-55 IS was spot on. Though with that said maybe it's just me but with the relatively small range if it were up over 1K why not buy into a few primes ie a 20mm 1.8 and then a 30 1.4 or 35 F/2 and be around the same price range but with faster glass. Just a thought Body:50D gripped Magic Lantern'd

Just a thought Based off current amazon pricing, 629+500=1129usd for 20 f/1.8 + 30 f/1.4; and you only gain half a stop @ 30mm and lose a ton of range/convenience + I expect pay more. In that situation I think the new zoom (assuming ~1k price point) would be a no-brainer... [6D]
