is the link at Mert's blog dead all of a sudden?

Looks like it is, I wonder if he jumped the gun on publishing the review, no one else appears to have the lens yet.

Or his blog site has been hammered by the entire "lens geek world" (me included) dwelling on his site? It happened to me with the early copy of the TS-e 24L when it came out.

I had the same issue when CR posted my Tamron 150-600 VC review (one of the first ones on the internet). Completely broke my site!

I'm guessing that there are review lens out there with NDAs in place, it just hasn't expired yet. For example I'm sitting on my review of the 1DX mark 2 until next week!

Interesting, from the picture comparisons the new EF 35/1.4 II also looks like it has lower distortion than the original lens. I owned the Sigma 35/1.4 for a while and really enjoyed the viewpoint of it. I'll be waiting to see more samples from this lens.

this is a funny forum. people complain when images from canon sensors cannot be pushed a gazillion stops withouth increasing noise. but then people find it completely useless to have improved corner sharpenss in the new 35mm. but the nikon 14-24 is much better anyway because of its fantastic corner sharpenss accross the zoom range...

Except that the Nikon is a f2.8 and not f1.4, that's a huge difference in brightness and doesn't rack out to 35mm. So actually, it's a completely different lens for a completely different set of circumstances.t poorly AF capable Sigma 35mm f1.4 art lens.

Aha... but if you push the Nikon by one extra stop, which the Sonikon sensors easily allow, aren't you at 34mm!?

I´m sure the Sonikon sensor can work wonders, but changing a focal range from 24mm to 35mm by pushing one stop ... Eehh ::) that would probably be a bit too much, even for them ...

Cannot be...
Salt-N-Pepa knew it already back in 1986, it's all about pushing...

I'm pretty sure the NDA expiry date for the 1DXmk2 would also be covered by the NDA. Are you sure you are not making things up or breaking the NDA?

I bought myself an 8th(?) copy of the 35 L yesterday, see if I still enjoy the fast 35 before I shell out for the mk2.
And I'll keep it to compare them if I buy the mk2, should be interesting.
