jukka said:it depends, try to micro adjust a 105 macro or a zoom from the macro mode up to infinity . the best solution is to have all Canon lenses adjusted by a canon service center, a zoom for example 24-105 are adjusted in 8 different positions in the zoom range, in 5dmk2 we have one, and in 5dmk 3 we have 2 adjustments points.

I'm looking to add another prime and possibly replace my Canon 50 1.8 II. This 35 might be the ticket.
Things are really heating up now with the 35 f/2 IS on the horizon also ...

As was mentioned by someone else earlier in the posts...How does a 35mm replace a 50mm? They are two completely different focal lengths.
You are right. I always use my 50mm F/1.4 at home for low light environment. However, my son is 2 year old now and very active. 50mm is very difficult for me to catch him. If I get this 35mm lens, I may not going to use my Siggy 50mm since I use it only at home. Let me think about it. I might get this 35mm and still keep my 50mm.Marsu42 said:cliffwang said:It might be the time to say goodbye to my Siggy 50mm and get this 35mm.

Don't you feel these focal lengths are so different you cannot just replace them even if the newer lens is better (and more expensive, btw - often forgotten)?

Looking at their new 35mm, and reading what Roger has said about the apparent sigma company turnaround, and very kind words for this lens, i'm very strongly reconsidering.
in fact, i'd said i'm 90% sure i'll buy this lens in the next week or two. maybe later today. ?

By sticking it on a 7D i get a 50, or there abouts.
