Hehe.
Hehe, i may have 2 more trips here. so my last trip will need to make new visa. hope i can get the multiple visa for my last trip. Meaning i can hit HK!!!!
already told u the strategy, no need visa, so you may very likely come back with this new lens or even new cam
;p
Here's another pic to show the bokeh, taken at f/1.8, but I already edited the photo
This is really solid stuff bro.

The street price for it, i went to john 3:16 like last week and asked for the 4/3 sigma 24mm f1.8 it was 600 bucks. I don't know if sigma 4/3 mounts ( olympus ) would be priced the same as other sigma 24mms.
I hope this answers your question ;p

I just bought the 24mm 1.8. How bad is bad? I did a test on the calibration chart and I was focusing at 0 at 1.8. The 0 was blur but the 1 in front was clear. Does that means my lens has a little front focusing problem? Should I sent it down to calibrate?

If you focused at 0 and 0 was blur but 1 in front was clear, it does mean that you have front focusing. Depending on your shooting style, it may or may not affect you. Try and shoot at apertures like f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6 to see what the difference is.
If you are using a camera that can do AF Fine Tuning, you can adjust it yourself... but if not, then you can either send it to Sigma to calibrate, or you can mentally tell yourself each time you shoot that it is front focused, so you need to compensate that yourself. If you find that this difference does not affect you, then you may not need to calibrate the lens. The set I got was beyond AF fine Tuning, and that is why I had to send it for calibration.
Thanks I managed to call the service center up. Well for those who are interested to send your lens down for calibration, the calibration usually takes 2 hours and you must first make an appointment to go down. It's either 10am or 2pm, two time slots... looks like I got to take leave to go down or I can do a AF fine tuning on my camera side.

I got mine from MS Color... at $626. Price was before Chinese New Year don't know if the price has increased or not. You need to wait about 1 month for the lens to come. But it's well worth the wait... since for me, Nikon does not have fast wide lens.
