Good point. If it's as good as the 50/1.4 and as fast-focusing as the Canon 85/1.8...wow.

It doesn't look like the Sigma 8-16mm lens will take filters...

How long did it take for the SIGMA 50 to be released for sale after it was announced? I can't wait to read the reviews and see samples from it. It was announced around the same time..March and I bought a copy the first week it was released and I believe that was like the first week or so of July My gear

I've been taking a "sabbatical" for over 6 months now for lens comparisons. But this new surge of lenses announced recently has me tempted to do something. The question is: when will these lenses be available?

I'm very interested in the Sigma 17-50 OS HSM and how it fares against the Canon 17-55 IS. The 85mm EX also intrigues me quite a bit. We'll have to wait and see!  Yes, I would like to see how good the 85mm is , and also the Bigma II. Hi

EX85 vs 85L 17-50 os vs 17-55 IS Maybe a re-do of the EX 50/1.4 using a "good" (perhaps mine?) copy of the EX vs the 50L Anyways....just thinking out loud Thx Matt. I just hope Sigma releases these lenses sometime in the next few years
