Our special thanks to Mark Harper of Audeze for capturing these and forwarding them over to us.
 
Hopefully, it's enough to hold us over until someone (looks at @jude) uploads his pics.

OT, but how do you like autofocus accuracy/speed on that Sigma 24-70 on 5D III?  Pic's look great here..

I very much like the Sigma 35 1.4 on my D800. Pretty sure it's excellent on the 5D III too.

Nice lens. IF I did not own the 24-70 and the 50MM 1.8G I would get that one.  But I also have the fuji 100S which is a 35MM F2 equivalent as well. Also got the D4S but figured my wife would kicked me out if I pulled that trigger so my d610 and d7100 will have to do(for now) maybe next year will sneak in the D4S

On the bright side, you could become an i-Reporter with some of the best glass on the street!

LOL I really need no more glass. I I am waiting on the Tamron 150-600 because I do not want to spring for the Nikon 80-400 well not yet anyway. I just demoed the Sigma 150-500 but want to try the Tamron befroe deciding which one I want to keep. i like the 600MM reach for the D610 and it will be over 900MM on the d7100 and with the 1.3 it can go almost 1200MM. I shoot lot of sports so the D4S  is interesting to me because of its speed.  Nee dto pay for my daughter wedding first.

My dad always used to tell me, "the bride's family pays for the wedding. The husband pays for the rest of his life."
 
When I got married, I tried reciting that line to my bride ... it didn't go over too well.
 
After nearly 8 years of divorce, I'm just hoping I don't have to keep paying for the rest of my life.

Nice! I actually traded both the Nikon 24-70 and 50 1.8g for the Sig and haven't looked back! I had the fuji 100 for a while too.

I hope the trade was not even up since the 24-70 2.8 cost a nifty 1898.00. My 24070 is  my perfect glass for me. I need the 24 for wide shot and also the 70 can be useful for portraits up close. I used my x100s tpday for review shots on the moon cable review I am finishing up.

Yeah, by "traded" I meant "replaced". I had originally bought it because I was doing some paid work and for that it's pretty much a necessity. But I've come to mostly prefer primes due to size/weight, image quality, and cost. Having said that, I think the 70-200 will eventually be necessary as my kids start to get bigger and involved with more activities.

I use the 80-200 2.8 Nikon lens for sports and been messing with aftermarket lenses but sending the sigma 150-500 back. If i did not have the 24-70 or the 50MM 1.8G prime i may buy the sigma 1.4 but will see what I need more.I ordered a Tamron 150-600 to play with with sports . The Nikon 80-400 is very expensive for a 4.5 lens or maybe if i decide these aftermarkets dont cut it may stiill order next time on sale not sure yet though. I know what you saying with the smaller size primes but that sigma does not look too light but does look nice indeed.
