Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Does Zeiss glass ever go on sale?

If you choose to buy new, check Amazon and B&H. I would stay away from Adorama....never a good experience there, horrible.....

Serious?  I've pretty much bought all my stuff from them.  They usually have better prices and better kits/combos than B&H too.  Personally I love Amazon, but when it comes to camera stuff, I don't use them.

I'd suggest two articles written by Roger (owner of LensRentals):

Lenses / Re: sigma 30mm f1.4... anyone used?

« on: July 21, 2012, 02:53:07 PM »

First post here, been lurking for a while.  Anyway, if you have a 28mm f2.8 and you just need a faster prime, I'd suggest you just get the Canon EF 28mm f1.8.  It gives you USM, similar speed, better focusing, good pictures, option to use on FF, and similar price to Sigma 30mm. 

If you don't want another Canon lens, look for the Bower/Samyung/Rokinon 35mm f1.4 lens.  It's a pretty awesome lens, but no AF.
