Thanks Oshkosh.. I was pleasantly surprised!! After seeing so many pictures of the Sigma, now I finally have my own!!!
I do agree that its bokeh is more pleasant than the Nikon one. I'm totally in love with this lens.. Here's my post of a lamp shot taken indoor with Sigma 30mm. F2, ISO400, 1/200
I also love this lens and it's on my cam most of the time, esp indoors. However, I do worry about the "peeling" problem of the EX coating in long run though...

Yes, i will be first to order it man...but it should be quite bulky i guess.
Actually we should give kudos to Sigma for coming out with such optically advanced products...
Their 20/24/28 F1.8 are also quite good and affordable compared to original manufacturer brands ones....
I think the only thing they should do is to take away the EX coating and revert back to their old matt surface which can last longer IMO....
nice composition on #22, :thumbsup: nice capture
Thanks Raghnall and Andrew. Yup, I thought I was very lucky to get that particular shot. In fact I learnt something about Tree Nymph from another photographer - that what's interesting about tree nymph is that you could go as close as you want and it's not afraid cos it has no natural predators in the wild. Perhaps that's why I could get so close to it without using Marco lens.
Thanks
Come join the club. Are you using a FF body?
TheChef, I think it would have look better if it's taken landscape and only on face/shoulder, aperture at f1.4 (since its night) to get some bokeh at background. Just my view.
I would not know if a recalibrated lens will go heywire again, but good news is today i went to IT show at Suntec. I asked the Sigma counter sales person several questions...
One of them is on recalibration. She said recalibration is free no matter the age of the lens or where the lens is purchase from. You must call them to make an appt, they won't do it for you if you just go down without appt. It takes roughly 2 hrs, same day collect back. :thumbsup:
*In my mind i was thinking is it many Sigma lens have focusing issues & all have to be recalibrated & everyday they are doing this for ppl, that's why must book appt time... :sweatsm:*
Hi, are u guys using fullframe on the siggy? or crop cameras?
50mm on a crop seems a little too tight though, any comments on how a 20mm 1.8mm compares with the 50mm 1.4? tia.
I'm using a FF with the 50mm. Why not consider the 30mm F1.4? There's a thread on it, do check it out.
