Quote from: wayno on January 11, 2013, 04:14:58 AMIs the 16-35 ii good sharp at edges at F8 at 16? I'd be surprised.I've been using one for 4 years now....have you tried one? I hope you aren't basing your opinions on forum chatter. Please take a look at my flickr page and see if there are any landscapes where the 16-35IIL is found to be lacking...then again, I never found the 17-40L particularly lacking either. Both are excellent lenses.http://www.flickr.com/photos/23849425@N06/

Now you might be right, but a couple of low-resolution images on flickr are unable to show the technical merits of the lens (I like the photos though) because nearly everything looks sharp down-sized so much...
The 50 1.4 suffered heavy price drops here in germany today, about 15% down on several retailers. Hope that means they're getting rid of it and its replacement is on the way.
What is a "Sigma Art 50"?
Oh you mean like the 35 1.4 which is a big ass dream contrary to the older 50 1.4 and 85 1.4 which just fuck up on every full frame?

My Sigma 85 works like a dream. AF is fine.Not in my experience. The Sigma 50mm has a horrendous in-consistency getting focus.
some wide angle lenses are needed16-35 f/4 IS USMhowever i'd love to have a canon 12-24 4-5.6 USM
