Where'd all the Sigma 30's go?

I have shot boxing next to Snaplocally many times over the last few years. We both use (used) the same camera (7d, 40d) but he has the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and I used the Canon 1.4. I always felt like I was trying to keep up with him image quality wise!! I now use the Sigma. I can't really say I see any difference to be honest between the two lenses image wise (90% of the time shooting in dimly lit armory's I should say). I never really used the 35 1.4 in a studio situation). I would say buy the Canon over the sigma if you plan on purchasing a full frame body (or 1d series) but that's about it. If I had to throw one of the lenses off of a boxing ring and hope it is still usable, I would trust the Canon to hold up better! But honestly they both feel pretty solid. Plus there is more satisfaction in making photo's look better than the competition with a lens more than half the price
