Aha! A fellow Art Collector as well as Audiophile. Fine taste if you don't mind me saying.

Thanks man. I have some Giger and Alex Grey too. But Peter Gric is my favorite. What artists do you collect?

Some giclée prints I've ordered by the same artist (Gric).

woah, it is shipping already?

 

[raymondlin]

It shipped the day before yesterday.  I got the first batch from B&H.
 
On the Canon forum I am the 3rd guy it seems who has it.

I ordered mines from BH too, hope I will receive it soon.

I saw the article from Peta Pixel and ordered it immediately.  I think it was the 11th April.  So if you ordered not long after that you shouldn't have to wait long.
 
I know that the US are getting stock first, I am in the UK, its £850 here RRP.  £600 from B&H, and I had to pay £180 in taxes at the door when UPS came.

Let's hope so, I ordered mines soon after BH accepting preorder.  Any real life test shots?

Here you go.

Wow, that looks amazing.. the OOF areas are nice and creamy.  The bokeh on my Canon 50mm 1.4 is a chaotic mess. 

 

[jc9394]

The bokeh with my Nikon 50 f/1.4 is a mess too, I was considered to get the new 58 f1.4.  I'm glad I preordered the Sigma.

 

[raymondlin]

I never really dislike the Bokeh of the Canon 50/1.4.  I've had it the longest time.
