Sigma 30 f/1.4... is the lens ever going to come out?

That lens looks cool to me as well Chad. Hopefully it'll have optical qualities like the 28mm f/1.4 Nikkor, but a price like the 35mm f/2. The latter of those two is what I use as a normal lens for my dSLR.

But like you, I'm anxious to see the sigma. I asked about it at my local camera shop last week, but they poo-pooed it. And that makes me think it might be good...  

 

I'm with you guys, I'm chomping at the bit for this lens. I did just read last nigth where a UK site has it listed for $600 US (319 British Pounds). They also posted a price for the 10-20mm Sigma but I don't recall what that was.

Hopefully this means we'll hear some news soon.

Don't hold your breath.  

 

There is no point in coming out with a prime lens like this without being very good IMHO.

FWIW Adorama currently lists the price as $449, which is a bit higher than I was hoping it would be. They don't actually have it in stock though. From what I've heard it's supposed to ship sometime this month, which probably means the big stores will get 3 or 4 of them in on the last day of the month which will sell out immediately.  

 

Sigma 30mm

Hi Chad,

Seems like it's time to sell the 50mm 1.4, especially my AIS manual focus. By the way, have you considered the Sigma 20mm, 24mm and 28mm 1.8 offerings? If yes, let me know what you think of them.

Cheers,
