Sigma 85 f/1.4 EX DG Available Soon
Etienne:
Is the Sigma 50 1.4 really all that good?
I want a good 50 1.4, and I've been hoping that Canon would upgrade theirs.
The Photozone review indicates that the Sigma has residual aberrations that give focus problems, particularly in the f 2.8 - 5.6 area. That makes me a little leery of the lens.
Anyone here have a comment on that?
If Canon doesn't upgrade the 50 1.4 soon, I may give the Sigma a try.
Etienne:
PS... Like many others, I have the Canon 85 1.8, which is a great little lens at a very reasonable price ... The Sigma will have to awfully good to justify the extra $.
Grendel:
Here's a reasonable review of the Sigma 50/1.4.
kubelik:
sigma has some really great budget offerings that you can't really beat in terms of bang-for-the-buck ... but I haven't been all that convinced by any of their upmarket offerings. they have a lot of lenses that seem appealing (for instance, the 120-300 f/2.8, or 70-200 f/2.8 OS) that offer significant price savings and good specs but drop the ball in either AF or image quality (thankfully, almost never both areas at the same time). I'd really like to see them hit it out of the park for once (and then keep doing it)

The sigma 135/2.0L is already pretty cheap. How cheap do you want it? You can grab one for $800. A Sigma 135mm would have to be 400-500 for me to even consider it over the 135L.
