I would've voted for the Tamron 150-600, but it's not on the list. Part of me wanted to give the vote to the Canon 16-35/4 IS but then I realized that the lens of the year has to have a broader appeal. So, after much hesitation, my vote went to the Sigma 50/1.4 ART. It's unlikely that I'll be getting one, but I think as a Sigma lens, a fast AF normal to boot, it holds the broadest appeal of all the SLR options. Mirrorless is a dark untamed wood for me, so I would really be confused if I had to choose among the lenses of that stable. Otus 85, while no doubt a wonderful unit, is in a razor thin niche, though I can gladly accept the fact that it's the best technical performer in the list... and it's MF.
