For sale is a pretty much brand new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM (Canon mount). This lens was received brand new from Sigma (receipt will be included) roughly a month ago and is actually the second copy of this lens that I've owned (first one from Sigma had water damage on the box so I had it returned). Compared to the first copy I've owned, this copy is noticeably sharper with seemingly better control of CA (first copy wasn't bad by any means). I've decided to go with the 35mm L and 85mm L from Canon instead as they seem to suit my work better. This lens has only been used a handful of times indoors and hence is pretty much brand new. This lens was recently calibrated by Sigma (paperwork will be included) and has been tested on a 5D and a XT to ensure no focusing problems (lens displayed instances of front focusing on one of my previous bodies before). I'm asking $460 shipped CONUS (total will be more internationally due to shipping costs). I preferred to be paid through Google Checkout but I also accept Money Order and PayPal (extra 2% fee for PayPal).

I've decided to have the lens calibrated by Sigma as there doesn't seem to be any interest in a lens that has experienced focus problems before. It will be back up for sale in a couple of weeks.
