this is also a good portrait len too buy this or a new body
I'll be buying one of these in the next few days.. I was trying it out at cathay the other day..
It's a really good portrait lens.. I got bowled over by the bokeh.. the 9 blades aperture is simply amazing.. Given the close focusing distance, it's simply amazing.. very nice creamy bokeh.. :heart:
Focusing is fast, though in low light it seems to struggle abit, but no different from the 70-200f2.8L. Might be just my body though..
The weight is VERY nice, the feel of it is superb, the lenshood is solid..
hee I'm in love with this lens.. Cathay selling at $1130.. slightly more than others from what I know..

Wait for others to feedback and also wait for Tokina version 50-135mm and compare. Sigma is a hit and miss, sometimes get good one sometimes no.
Any comments from experts out there?
