50L + 5DM3 focus? What about your experience with other lenses?

[wickidwombat]

my sigma 85 f1.4 is bang on target super accurate
I just got the new smooth finish sigma 50 f1.4 and its the same super accurate
its a beast of a lens for a 50 mm though not much smaller than the 85 but its got IQ in spades

Wow, they made a 50 1.4 about as big as an 85? strange...Does it have is or something?

nope just tons of glass, 77m filter same as the 85
the lens diameter is pretty much identical to the 85 it's barrel is just shorter probably 70% of the hieght of the 85 at a rough guess without measuring. i'm so happy to finally have a 50mm that meets this standard of image quality!

Works for me. This was at f1.2 5D3. It's a screen shot so sharpness is not the best. I focus and recomposed just a little. The actual focus was on the boy's eye.

How many shots did you take to get the keeper? By the way, what a fantastic capture! What parent wouldnt love a shot like this of their kiddo?

I also agree with the 5DIII and the 70-200 2.8II, there you have an awesome combo. You have the speed and sharpness plus the bonus of no flash.
