I think I'm gonna trade my Tamron 17-50 for this!

Don't! I love the Sigma 30, but sometimes, particularly events/family gatherings the zoom comes in handy.

Get my new one tomorrow! I really missed this lens and am glad to get a new one. Here is a reason I loved my first copy!

Nah, if I go forward with this, I'll be ok. I am usually midway on my 17-50 when shooting. Stepping backward or forward will be ok for me. It's just a thought...I haven't decided yet.

Well... I have both. and I haven't used my 17-50 2.8 since I got my sig 30 1.4. But I still love my tamron.

After looking back on most of my pics from my 17-50 I saw that most were in the 30mm range so I just sold mine to get the sigma 30. Should be here Monday!

Nope, this lens was built for cameras with crop sensors (like the 7D).

I loved my 17-50, but the Sigma is hands down my most used lens.

You guys work the heck out of this lens, I own one and the thing is amazing

P.S. Congrats to her! that's amazing

I definitely need this lens in my life.

Every cropper does in my opinion. It's the prime of the crop sensor. I've been tempted by the 24L II, but at over 3 times the cost and so much larger and heavier, I can't do it. This lens delivers.

I've been convinced my next lens would be the 100L macro but this baby keeps putting out doubt. I love my 17-55 but sometimes I would rather just leave the house traveling light - not to mention the 1.4 factor. Dang...

just picked one up off amazon last night brand new for 225 bucks out of pocket!! (sold some books back, didnt have to pay tax or shipping and also had a coupon code that took off 25 dollars) cant wait for it to get here to shoot with my 40d. crossing my fingers hoping the focus is fine and its a sharp copy

Someone asked about the 30mm f1.4 on a full frame, so here's a couple of quick pics:
