This is very good news indeed, except possibly for my bank account.

Just an update, the Sigma 18-35/1.8 is a killer lens, even used wide open, it weighs about as much as the 50-135/2.8 it seems but the extra bulk and weight is worth if for the photographic flexibility it affords. I'm finding the zoom range a little limiting but when the light is low it's superb and as it's so sharp images can be cropped with better results than a poorer longer lens covering the frame. I've also been using it in studio for group shots, damn impressive. There may be some very nice older lenses on the chopping block soon.
This lens is groundbreaking. I don't think that there has ever been a zoom this fast before. I do a lot of photography indoors in low light, as in f/1.8 is barely fast enough. Depending on how the job search goes, I may consider selling my 31 ltd to finance this lens.
