Why not get the Canon 28mm 1.8 instead? The canon has the huge advantage of reliable focus over the Sigma.Its disadvantages are only heavy CA which can be corrected quite easily and sub-par border sharpness, which doesnt matter much for low light pictures for which you would use such a lens.

Actually, I also owned the EF 28/1.8 USM ... but not only does it develop more CA than the
Sigma 30/1.4, it also has a massive flare problem. In many situations, the Sigma just
"behaves" noticably better than the Canon. The only real problem is to find a sample
that plays ok with the body you have.
