BeenThere said:While we are waiting for Sigma to price their new 14mm f1.8 lens, how about some guesses as to their U.S. Price point. Take a WAG at where you think it will be priced, not where you want it to be priced. My guess is $1299.

1. If it has zero coma at f/2.4 then it is at least as good as the new Samyang with the added advantage of f/1.8 should we need it it is just fine.
2. If at f/1.8 is better than my Canon 14mm f/2.8 II at f/2.8 I am also satisfied.
But where is it????????????????????????
P.S In addition, once it apears lenstip.com will check coma for good

You win with exact guess of $1599.

The lens looks a lot like the 12-24mm, it has the same kind of large, aspherical front element, so I would guess it will be priced at least the same. So $1599.
And frankly I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher than that. The 12-24mm had competitors, this one doesn't, it's really the first of its kind. I think Sigma could get away with a pretty high price point.
I hope I'm wrong, of course. ???
