Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM

Loving these Earwax!

This was shooting from the hip. The guy was actually looking up at me (I was looking elsewhere)...

^^^ Cool! Love the hand. Lucky on the focus! What mode was it? 1 shot/ai servo? center point or all points?

It's sad when you get a nice hip shot but the camera focus on the wrong thing... as much as it sound like a gimmick, I would like Canon to include a face recognition feature.

Thanks Yeah, Sirvo, and I had one of the higher points set as main focus, with the six little boxes around it activated. It was a very lucky hit--I generally miss, although in this case I was so close to the guy it would have been hard to miss him completely, I often cut peoples head's off, or focus on their elbow or something...

Using this lens is like butter.

Wow I loooove your post processing!

Now look what you've done! Because of this thread I went and bought a copy of S35. That wouldn't be much of an issue, but I already have a 35mm L
So, the next few days will decide which lens will stay and which will go. I will post some photos here.

Congrats.

How do you like the AF so far? Is it consistent at all focal lengths?

I know that most people who bought this lens are very happy with it, but many are having issues with the AF.

I`m very interested in your decision. Please let us know which one goes

well, I just got it a couple of hours ago, but the first impression is quite good I'd say.

The AF seems accurate, maybe a tad slower to focus than canon (not that much to be an issue), and since it is a fixed lens I believe you meant different apertures, and if so, then no, I couldn't see any difference.

As soon as I finish testing I will post the answer (perhaps that will be tomorrow when instead of working I'll be shooting charts and coworkers)

What he meant was "focal distances" i.e. 2ft, 6ft, 10ft, 25ft out. I had a little goofiness in this dept. with my first one. I had it replace with another and it seems to be just fine.

got it, that I'll see tomorrow, hope it won't be the case

I`ll receive mine tomorrow also.. Pretty excited about it. Hope to be one of the perfect copies. Fingers crossed

Yes, I ment focal distances. Sorry.

I just ordered one of these bad boys today. I was going to save up for a 35L, but this lens seems to be a much better option. Now, I just have to wait for UPS to show up tomorrow.

I also ordered one today but mine arrives on Monday. Looking at all the reviews and photos here, it made me want it. The pros outweighed the cons and looked like a better option than the 35L which ive owned before. Keep on posting these awesome photos everyone
