Even by Sigma design standards, making lenses with sharp centres and poor
edges, it was poor. Now the proof.

"Several years on from the introduction of the original 30mm f/1.4
and Sigma has still yet to see a comparable high-speed model from
either Nikon or Canon. That said, both firms offer smaller, lighter
and cheaper models that perform very well indeed. For all that, the
new Sigma is still accessibly priced, remains relatively compact
and offers very good optical performance."

Funniest line of the week.

Where's the supposed proof, then? You linked to the "funniest line of
the week" after all...

The test IS the proof. If you own the lens, no offense, except if you think it's good.

Let's see the scores

Sigma 30mm Canon 19
Canon 40mm own 18

Sigma 30mm Nikon 21
Nikon 35mm own 22

I don't get it ...

The test IS the proof.

In what way?

it's good.

I don't. I am questioning your presumed "point".
