[QUOTE="wud, post: 243642, member: 13578"] I think the Sigma are on the slow side, which makes it difficult (for me) to use with e.g. dogs and young kids. Unless I only use it at the end of a session, when they are tired ;) I dont always trust the focus as I do with all my other lenses. Dont think mine hunt a lot. But it wont always focus straight against sunlight (which I love to do). Its pretty soft but not hard to adjust in PP. When using my wide, 35 or 105mm, often I dont use sharpen in PP. The 70-200mm are a bit soft, also, not as much as the 50mm. It is still a pretty amazing portrait lens, with the smooth bokeh and also the colors - the colors I also find working best with portraits. I takes in a lot, but maybe this is just me who haven't figured it out (e.g. I tried street photography around sunset, toooo much) - I dont have this 'problem' with other lenses though. The 1.4 can be a little tricky to work with maybe, mostly I find it easy though, but if you do it wrong, the image are definitely ruined. Meaning, if you focus the wrong place, its not something you can save afterwards, specially when using f/1.4. I was going to get the Nikon 50mm 1.8 but then we looked at the 1.4 buuut then the salesman said, the Sigma was much better in speed and sharpness. Just thinking out loud: As I remember, my camera should be able to save settings for specific lenses. Maybe I could save a setting, which toned down saturation when I put on the 50mm? Will this setting be saved on a raw file? [/QUOTE]
