I am trying to decide between sigma and 35L myself. I have no doubt with sigma image quality. However, I am concerned with long term sigma support as they come up with new model so often. I meant how long will they keep providing spared parts after the model got discontinued. The sigma solid...

Thats cool..thanks for the thoughts!

I live in sarawak which located on borneo island not the peninsular.

Unfortunately, what you said is absolutely true. I was quite happy with 50 1.8 mk2 until I bought the 85L. I am very much in troubles as I only feel excited about prime lens now. Its going to be an expensive addiction.

I am waiting for its reviews. Sigma is priced very competitively. One 35L can buy sigma 35 and 50 art prime combo. I want to replace my canon 50 1.8 mk2 badly.

I would love to try a zeiss one day. I am surprised the ZE 35/2 is just a bit more than the sigma. Much cheaper than 35L:-) unfortunately, zeiss is only available as special ordered locally. In comparison between 85L and 135L, the bokeh quality are both excellent to my inexperienced eye...

Happy CNY everyone!! Thanks for the encouragements. I plan to put the 85L along with a 35mm into heavy use. It is my goal to challenge myself to foot zoom:-). Hopefully, it make my shoots more interesting. Still undecided between 35L or the new popular Sigma 35 Art..

The 35mm is a good choice for environmental portrait and indoor group shots. It seems limited and barely wide enough for landscape. I would agree with other members that 17-40L is a much better choice. Since you do macro and portrait, obviously the 100 macro L is the best choice if it fit...

I have been impressed with 85L since I got it last week. The only limitation is my skill.
