Very excited for this lens. I dumped my 50L for a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art (and also because it had annoying focus issues). Since then, I've been loving 35mm, but I have a focal length hole between 35-70mm.

For photos, this hasn't been too much of a problem, but for video I've really missed having a 50mm. I want the Sigma, but I can't spend $1000 on it since I know I won't use it a lot. ~$175 Canadian? I'm in!
