Oct 12, 2009 08:23 | #2554 ^great shot! Is it a large difference between 1.8 and 2 in case of light gathering?(i'm thinking not) Because i a'm thinking of getting either 85 1.8 and sigma 30 1.4, or 100 f2 and 50 1.4 (either sigma or canon)...but i have read a lot of bad reviews about sigma 30....kinda thinking of the 100+50, because 50 +85 is quite close...

I don't care for 50mm on APS-C cameras. I borrowed a friend's Sigma 30mm for a week and it seemed to be the *perfect* FL! Such natural looking pictures. I think 30+85mm is a great combo for croppers, 50+100 would be nice for FF. Sony A6000, 16-50PZ, 55-210, 35mm 1.8 OSS

The difference is a third of a stop. That's a considerable difference. Col | Flickr

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the 35/85-ish combo for crop. It just feels strange to me. On FF, I think it's perfect! So for me, the natural two prime combo on APS-C is 24/50. Col | Flickr

The thing is i tried out 50 on FF (5d mark 2...omg i was crying all evening...probably the hardest thing that i had to do EVER was to give it back...) and although it seemed perfect, but somewhat i wanted a little bit longer...so 85 on FF would be probably perfect for just all around for me

So the thing is i want 2 primes one a little bit wider (more like 50 on crop) - for all around, and the other for my type of photography. Agh...if i hadn't read that Ken Rockwells (as well as photozone) review on 30mm it would seem to that it is a "no brainer"....Oh if just wasn't so darn picky... it took me almost a year to buy a dslr... So do you have FF or crop camera now? Sigma 30 won't work on the FF cameras. Also, 85mm on a FF looks like 50mm on a crop camera. Taylor

An 85mm on a FF IS 85mm, on a crop it is 136mm. What I meant was if you have a FF camera with an 85mm lens and a crop camera with a 50mm lens, they will have amost the same angles of view. 50x1.6=80mm Taylor
