Lenses / Re: 50mm.. Upgrade or not?

« on: May 22, 2013, 10:23:03 PM »

Sold my 1.2 and returned to the 1.4. 1.2 had terrible CA and was very soft. I am desperately awaiting a new 50 from canon or Sigma.

Yes. It does look kind of dated.

I have the sigma 35 1.4 with an 85 1.8 and I couldn't be happier when taking pics of my boys. Though I love the 50 focal length, it sits on the self a lot because the IQ just isn't close. The 135 is my telephoto and it is amazing

I would still definitely get the Sigma over the Canon. Even if the Canon was cheaper the Sigma.

I would buy a new 50 in a heartbeat. Canon or sigma.

I just bought the 135L and love it. What I really need is a 50mm that is as good as Sigma 35 1.4.

Maybe I will get my 60d back out of my bag. That lens sounds awesome!

I picked up this lens a couple months ago. It is on par or perhaps better than my 135l in sharpness, color and contrast. It truly is a phenomenal lens. It makes my canon 50 1.4 look like a joke. The bokeh is superb. I have enjoyed it so much I wrote Sigma asking for a 50 in the same line. This was their response:


Hello Shane,
                The new Art, Sports and Contemporary line are the way of our lenses to come, when and if the 50mm 1.4 is updated it will be in the same vain as the 35mm 1.4.
Yours Truly,

Lenses / Re: Weddings 70-200mm 2.8 is vs 4 is

I have the 70-200 f4 IS with a 5d mkiii and it does fine. However I picked up a 135L and now that is all I ever use. The shots just turn out so gorgeous. I don't mind missing a shot here or there if the ones I am getting with the 135L are so much better.

Lenses / Re: 17-40 vs 16-35, which one got the mojo ?

« on: January 13, 2013, 02:24:02 PM »

They both are super sweet. I have the 17-40 on my 5D MKiii and get fabulous results out of the combo. I really like the compact size and weight of it. Here is a recent engagement shot. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=481057235269063&set=a.377560718952049.82074.117631688278288&type=1&theater

I too sold my 50L and went back to the 1.4. The CA on my copy was the deal breaker. I sent it in to Canon and they didnt do anything. I hope they update the whole 50mm line very soon.
