Want a cheap zoom alongside the 70-200: get the excellent Tamron 28-75 2.8.
Want a great prime alongside the 70-200: get the 35L

I bought the 40 because I love the field of view, and miss too many shots with the MF voigtlander.
If you prefer 50 and are on a budget, you can't go wrong with the plastic fantastic 50 1.8. Got more to spend, go for the 50 1.4

Oops... Can't seem to edit the message here.
(stapje te ver terug gedaan): means: I took a step back too much when I switched to the 50 1.4.

Some testshots comparing the Shorty Fourty to the 50 1.4 and voigtlander 40 2.0:

Canon 40mm:


Voigtlander 40mm:


Canon 50mm 1.4  (stapje te ver terug gedaan):


Canon 40mm:


Voigtlander 40mm:


Canon 50mm 1.4:


And a comparison with the 35L:

40 2.8:


35L:


40 2.8:


35L:


I'm really impressed how much the Shorty 40 images look like the 35L's.

Right..... :(  here in the Netherlands it is offered at 279 euro (354 dollar at 0% interbank rate on June 21st)

Even at FotoK it's at €269, ouch.
They were half the price of anything in australia when i lived in Den Haag just around the corner from them. I got my 70-300L there for €1150 ($1500) when the cheapest in Aus was $1900.
I'm almost glad I moved back to Aus now, looks like I moved at the right time...


Bought it yesterday in Eindhoven for € 240,-, friend of mine in Utrecht for € 240 too.
MediaMarkt Fotomania, only this week!

Great little lens, think it will replace my voigtlander 40... It's not as tough, but I'm lazy and the autofocus is pretty fast.

Lenses / Re: Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM....are they any good?

i've had them both (on 40D and 5D classic), and kept the Canon.

The Siggy can make great pics, but the focus of mine wasn't reliable. Even after sending it back to Sigma. The problem wasn't the focus shift, it was just backfocussing most of the time on subjects at +/- 5 meters. But not all the time... Drove me nuts.
