It is not a lens I need or want, but I think it is great that Adorama is working more closely with Canon Rumors.

I am really beginning to favour Adorama over B&H which I traditionally use, mainly because of Adorama's cheaper international shipping but also because occasionally Helen (it is Helen right?) pops her head into the forums to give some feedback.

Great news, keep it up Adorama. Good job!

If I owned a crop camera, I would own this lens.

A few times recently, Adorama has had what I wanted in stock, while B&H was out.

True. BH is perpetually out of stock on various items. But they have lots other stuff in their inventory and so I deal with them. Eg. Apple products. I will buy a laptop in few days and Adorama has none. Apple direct charges lots of tax.

I've read positive reviews for this lens but does anyone have any experience with it? Im thinking of tossing it on my 7d2.

I shoot more photo than video, but I rented this for a trip to disney for a week to throw on my t2i and loved it.

I use this as my standard walk around and landscape lens on a 7d at the moment. It is incredible, great iq and very versatile with 1.8. Would be nice to either go a little longer or wider, but it is definitely a great lens. Build quality is also fantastic, it feels great to use.

This temps me to replace my 35 2.0 IS and 10-18 with this. I really like the way Sigma renders colors/contrast and I think I'm sticking with crop sensors for now. I do like UWA, but don't use it much.
I originally dismissed this because it's BIG, but when traveling I now use my EOS M so a large lens isn't as much of an issue.
Yes?

I use it on my crop camera, and also on my full frame. It's a hard-to-beat 28-35mm lens on full frame. It is on par with my Sigma 50mm Art. Do get the dock and do the full MFA at the various distances.

Sigma must have made too many of them in their four-month production cycle that they reportedly use to be letting them go at the discount. Not too long ago they were hard to find.

It's almost always on my 7D2 when my longer lens isn't affixed.

Its the sharpest zoom you can get for a crop camera and as the previous poster pointed out its great on ff at 35mm too.

Mine has massive af problems. I would have exchanged it but I bought it from digitalrev. their return policy is bullshit. They stalled me then said it was too late and that only unopened items can be returned. I used the dock on it to get it the best I can but it still has issues, I use live view if the shot has to count because you can't trust the regular af.

Its a hit and miss with this lens, lf you can get one that focuses right then it can't be beat. Adorama has a good return policy.

As others have stated, if I owned a APS-C camera, this would be my fisrt lens to own

I don't see a place to enter in the coupon code on their website. Ugh.

Bryan at The Digital Picture thinks pretty highly of this lens:
