Quote:I am not sure that we are talking about the same lens. I was referring to the 35/2 IS (note the IS) that was released in 2012. It has USM, which is not slower than the AF on the Sigma 35/1.4. In fact, I had the impression that it focuses slightly faster. Weight and price are more like 1/2 of the Sigma, rather than 1/3 (which is true for the old Canon 35/2).
No, then I was obviously mistaken. I have not much of an idea about Canon lenses, especially not by own experience. I was referring to the one tested by PZ.
Side note: after updating firmware of the Sigma via USB-dock, it was faster. So maybe the dealer had not the Sigma version up to date.
