Hehe, I know the time but I'm not coming 'till you'll get 30mm f/1.4 :) I don't want whole range of Sigma :)


If you don't come at that time you'll never ever see and test it prior to purchase. Cos it needs low light to test :lol:

To make low light you need a black light lamp with a negative stream of photons :)

My hometown (Tomsk) was established in 1604 and that's about most of major cities in Siberia and before it was a land of wild tribes and they didn't know anything about Zenith! So, I'd say once a century :)

I'm just wondering if Birddog received Sigma 30mm 1.4 already? :) They are being sold on eBay already but it's not in Lens Lust List (LLL) :)

Would be very interesting to try ....

Not very popular and good review so far!
If you want to buy, I may ask.

Concerning being taken in general, you can say the SIGMA 30mm is sharper, but being something which is purchased in cheap medieval times, we refuse the Nikkor 28mm.
With the SIGMA 30mm of the CANON mount which is sold first, the circular becoming dim of boiled fish paste type is pointed out, but even with the Nikon mount (uses with the D70 if) shape of the circular becoming dim is strange, (the last picture).

Just read the above Birddy on the Sigma 30mm, and after translation, I agree :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for finding those Birddy. Looks like on first impressions I may have to keep saving for the holy grail of low light lenses, the 28 1.4, though my wallet would like to be proved wrong :wink:

Glen,
It's your choice! I can't part with my 28/1.4 :wink:
Hey! I have few buyers asked me the 28 and of course they want to pay top dollars for it, but NO NO NO.
Can't get it brand new around the world anymore. B&H has no stock since last year and people still want backorder it. Why they do not switch to Sigma 30/1.4?
Finally it will stay pair with my 58/1.2 NOCT. :wink:

Edit: I'm going to built a glass display cabinet for the legends :lol:

Or the Nikkor 35/ f.2 can be played with the Sigma 30/1.4? and it's nearly half price.

Birddy, better make your cabinet big, you have a few legends :lol: Will be very interested to see the 30 1.4 when someone orders one, who will be the brave first?

I'd like to buy but:
1. I'd like to try it myself if it's possible (No one wants to buy shoes without trying them on)
2. If I tried, like it and decided to buy, honestly, I have to save some cash or, otherwise, buy it by method 1 by Credit Card

Same story of no one married if you never try her/ him beforehand :lol: :lol:

So, the leader of Sigma may get it for his followers to try :wink:

Edit: Buy from B&H and you'll have 30 days free trial, if you don't like, then return it :wink:

1. No free trial from them or you either, so, we don't bother
2. Who says CC? I said have to save or use CC. You don't take CC, I have to save then. BTW, what would be your price if I try to order it from you? :)
