With all the excitement around the arrival of the new 35 f2 IS and the Sigma f1.4, how about posting your best shots taken with the old 35 f2 ?
At Building Panoramics we now have an EF 35 f1.4, and guess what - at the apertures that we use this little lens is just as good. ( The same cannot be said for the manual focus however.................)
Here are a few of our images taken with this lens. For those that are interested Selby Abbey was the first Benedictine Monastery founded in the North of England after the Norman conquest in 1066.

This image makes me smile because it is the sort of shot that could be from the promotion of a very expensive, or 'exotic' lens such as the Sigma f1.4. Just goes to show........................... :

Great photos! The Sigma is not as big as the Tamron. I own both.
Canon says their lens is 3.1" in diameter and 2.5" long with a weight of 335g. (http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_35mm_f_2_is_usm#Specifications)
Sigma says their lens is 3" in diameter and 3.7" long with a weight of 665g. (http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/35mm-f14-dg-hsm-a)
Tamron says their 24-70 VC is 3.5" in diameter and 4.6" with a weight of 825g. long (http://www.tamron.co.jp/en/lineup/a007/specifications/index.html)
So, in terms of size the Sigma is a little over an inch longer than the lens you have though it weighs nearly double. The Tamron is a much bigger and feels that way when mounted on the camera.
