Wedding shot; I liked it, they didn't choose it, but rater opted for the one where they were in focus.

Later I spotted this about 10' over the Brides head.

My lens came yesterday. I am really impressed with this lens given the few minutes I got to play with it.

All of these shots were hand-held indoors and at massive ISOs on a 7D and are straight off the camera other than re-sizing:

ISO 2000 - f/2.8:

ISO 2000 - f/3.2

ISO 3200 f/2.8:
IMAGE: http://www.infiniteecho.us/other/sigma/iso3200-f2-8-nocrop.jpg

100% crop ISO 3200 f/2.8:
IMAGE: http://www.infiniteecho.us/other/sigma/iso3200-f2-8-100p-crop-2.jpg

I am excited by why I see. I can't wait to get out and actually use the lens properly. The OS on this lens is phenomenal.

I think Im pulling the trigger on this lens tomorrow, though off ebay so maybe i'll be waiting a little longer depending on other bidders ;) either way Im a bit concerned about the "sigma lottery" and buying used. we'll see! Hopefully it ends well and I have good images to show!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. The Sigma lottery from what I can tell only seems to affect a few specific lenses. I don't recall anyone mentioning issues with this one. If there are, they are few and even Canon throws a bad lens now & then. My 10-20 was perfect out of the box as was my 17-70 and this 70-200. The 30mm f1.4 on the other hand I got 2 bad copies of before getting a good one. I'm sure that the 30mm f1.4 lens and maybe one or two others are the drivers of the "lottery" fears. The rest seem to be pretty solid.

Oh. I meant to do this earlier. Here's a 100% crop of one of the images above.

I could never get a good copy of the 30mm.

I think the 50mm can suffer there as well.

But this lens has not been mentioned in that regard as far as I am aware.

Then again it is 2.8 and not 1.4mm.
