Thanks for the heads up. I cannot wait to try this lens out. I have been waiting since December for this lens. Now I hope they will consider making the 120-300/2.8 for the Alpha mount. Adorama reports not getting this lens for another couple weeks.
Mine should ship today!!!
Meh – still not in stock on Wex
It is an APS-C, why not on E mount also? Its price is very tempting.
(excuse a newbie if the question has some well known answer)
It’s actually a full frame lens (but will also cover apsc). The main reason Sigma won’t make anything like this for e-mount is size and weight…
because it’s not an apsc lens. There is a sigma 30mm f1.4 for apsc format that is smaller and cheaper. This lens (35 f1.4) is huge.
I just bought a 35mm f1.4 G lens for 750$ from the Sony Store. Their recent spree of closing stores down allowed them to mark all lens 50% off … I took my chances
You are lucky man. 🙂
Do you know if the new NEX will bring the High Performance Zoom as kit? That’d make a lot of sense!
Shipped yesterday for arrival tomorrow. Yeah!
Going to compare it to the Minolta 35/2 I have, which is excellent but not as fast as I would like. Will probably hold on to the compact Minolta for the upcoming FF NEX.
Endured the pouring rain to pick up the “last copy” at B&H today, whatever that meant 😛
Silent video AF on the a99, sharp as hell wide open. Slapped a B+W UV filter on it. Feels great so far.
Sigma is getting serious about producing high quality lenses with modern focus systems in FF. Hope Zeiss is listening – I want to buy a fast 85, and think the Zeiss is just too ancient. For now, I’ll just keep using my 70-200G for portraits, for e.g., http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28958610
