I have a question, excuse my being suspicious fellas but, check out this test of the sigma 8-16mm on the pocket. (hang on, my question is about the 18-35) http://www.onerivermedia.com/blog/?p=677 The 8mm focal length of the Sigma and the 8mm of the Canon produce different results with regard to FOV. Either the Canon is wider than 8mm or the Sigma is really closer to 10mm. Most likely the Sigma is a 10mm given it's the only "supposedly" 8mm rectilinear. I simply don't buy that it's an 8mm after I saw this test, which makes me wonder, are the guys from Sigma bragging about their record breaking lenses by lying to us? In other words, is the f1.8 on the 18-35mm really a 1.8? I'd seriously love somebody to make sure it is, and then I buy it. It's easy to make that test, compare the sigma @35mm 1.8 against a prime nikon 35mm @1.8 and see if light truly is the same in those shots. Again, I'm apologizing to anybody who works at sigma for this, and if such a test would show I'm wrong, I'm buying the lens (18-35).
