Reviews / Re: Review - Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM

I can't eloquently put into words how much I love this lens. It performs beautifully on my 5Dmk2 and 7D; it's the kind of lens you just leave on a 5D to bring everywhere. I'm in the middle of shooting a weekend of dance performances right now, for which I rented my other favorite lens the Canon 135 f/2. Both produce just awesome images on my 5Dmk2 at 1600iso f/2.2 1/800 under stage lights. It's good enough I'm probably going to sell my 50 f/1.4 for an 85 f/1.8 because I find I just don't use my 50mm anymore.

All I can say is that if they bring the same incredible build and image quality from their new 35 1.4 to this lens, I am completely sold. To call it a huge step up doesn't even do justice to the difference to how amazing the new 35 1.4 is compare to other Sigma lenses I've used and own. It's worth any penny.

The FredMiranda buy/sell forums are pretty awesome, a lot of very active users. There is a small fee to be able to upload and sell, but I've purchased a bit of gear there, no bad experiences.

If you want to stick with Craigslist, try taking really awesome pictures of the gear and insist on dealing with people over the phone instead of email. That usually get's rid of anyone who isn't serious about buying.
