Resisting the temptation to buy used. Its a savings of $150.00 or so, but I promised myself I would buy new based on my Sigma 50 exeprience. Samy's has one 30 in stock in Pasadena. I thought I would buy and test based on their return policy. Want to go local so I can exchange/return in person. 7D | 8mm 3.5 FE | EF-S 10-22 | EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS | EX DC 30 1.4

Anyone else have this issue? I bought a used one some weeks ago,and when I got it I noticed it was wery tight ,almost like a 'dry' feeling to it. So I went down to the lps and tried the one they had there, and it was smooth as butter. Canon 60D | 18-55mm IS | Σ 30mm f/1.4 | Canon EF 50mm 1.8 | Σ 17-70mm dc | Speedlite 430EX II |

In fact it's closer than most 50mm. Since it's a standard lens for apsc, I think that's good enough. And gaives me a reason to keep my 50mm Body:Canon EOS 50D, Panasonic Lumix LX5
