Hey, based in Shanghai? Me too. Where did you get yours and what did you pay? I've seen that they're all over Taobao now, but I usually go to the Xing Guang camera stores at Luban Road.
How's the AF behaving on your 1DX?
Cheers!

well i have the 85 sigma
at 1.4 the 50 art easily beats it and i think the bokeh is better
I feel there is not a significant difference in sharpness between the 85L II and the 85 sigma but the 85L II has better bokeh. I think the 50 art bokeh is pretty awesome to be honest this lens is a bokeh monster

I got my confirmation....that I cancelled my order.
I just decided that I like my 24-70 2.8ii so much that I probably wouldn't use the sigma enough to justify the $1k.
Enjoy your new lens when it comes folks! looking forward to seeing the images.

Couldn't resist. Went down to xing guang and picked up one as well. The guy told me that the first batch to China was only 100 pcs, so we were both lucky getting one early. Same price as you mentioned, 6500rmb.
Ended up with an AFMA adjust of +8, but after that it's really sharp! Also noticed that it struggles a bit hitting the focus 100% in bad light, but as long as the light is decent it's spot-on!
(Read your profile status as 1DX and somehow translated that as you having one. I've got the 5D3 too... ;D)
