While I have not had to use Nikon service, I definitely miss Canon CPS that would do just about anything you needed quickly and free.

 

One usually only receives such sweet CPS service for the paid membership, and I only have the free Silver CPS membership; however, I was able to convince the CPS service rep on the phone to pay shipping both ways for the non-obligatory 5D III "light-leak fix" along with sensor/camera cleaning.  I also asked them to check out the Ai Servo AF system while it was there, which they promptly "adjusted" to factory specs and had at my doorsteps in like 3 days  :laugh:

The Canon Holy Trinity are primes; 35 f1.4L, 50 f1.2L and 85 f1.2L.  I have had the Nikon equivalents 35 f1.4L and 84 f1.4 and there is no comparison.  The Canon blows the Nikon 85 away and I think the Canon 35 is a bit better than my Nikon 35.  Canon has nothing really like the 14-24 but I find I never bother using that lens so it doesn't mean much to me.  I also thought my Canon 70-200 f2.8L mkII was hugely better than my Nikon equivalent.

 

I believe the Holy Trinity is actually 35L, 85L, and 135L.  The Canon 135L truly is a wonderful lens that's bitingly sharp with super bokeh.  I don't believe the Nikon 135mm version is as precious.

I have not looked at the Sigma, but the only reason I would do it is if you prefer the *character* of the out of focus parts of the image (what bokeh actually means.) 

If you just want a lens that is a little faster don't worry. 

 

I took some photos at a NYC Criterium bike race over the weekend.
