Hello All,

I find myself wondering if selling my 24mm F1.4L ver I in favor of buying the new sigma F1.8 zoom lens would be a good idea. What are peoples thoughts on the sigma? Has it been tried and tested?

Thanks for your input everyone.

Yeah I started looking at that, but was curious if anyone had a direct comparison with the 24L V1. I guess ill start reading through that thread.

Looks like they do compare it to the 24L II though.

the digital picture has comparison shots for sharpness...unfortunat​ely they didn't test the 24L at f1.8...but you can see the sigma looks to be a pretty nice lens

Yep!! I just put my 24L up for sale on here and on craigslist. Not sure if there are any other good places to try to sell it, I can't even find it on amazon or ebay to benchmark the prices.
