As long as we are talking sigma what ever became of the 85f1.4. Did it actually get released and was it anything special ?

IMHO wide open sharpness is just that: Good. Not more.

Hmmm.. what's new?... The [url="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/news/sigma-corporation-announces-five-new-lenses-three-new-cameras-at-pma-2010"]"FLD" glass[/url], which is actually not a fluorite glass bu claimed to have the same performance (with affordable price). Makes me think of the Sigma "APO"s...



At the same adress, the FLD glass is also clamied to have very high light transmission. I'm afraid, these 4 FLD glasses will not be utilized by the max aperture of the lens...

FLD was used in the 70-200 OS but it still perform worse than the Canon 70-200 IS II.

But [url="http://www.lenstip.com/263.1-Lens_review-Sigma_70-200_mm_f_2.8_EX_DG_APO_OS_HSM-Introduction.html"]it performs verry well[/url] and not so much behind a [url="http://www.lenstip.com/index.php?test=obiektywu&test_ob=270"]new Canon[/url] in terms of IQ and surely beter than old [url="http://www.lenstip.com/index.html?producent=26&obiektyw=470&typ=0&moc=0"]Canon 70-200 2,8[/url].
