ugh... suppose to be ME having this lens.

And... I'll post up 50 images FULL SIZE all at F1.4

Do it the right way!


Dude, chill. You're throwing a bigger tantrum than my niece when she isn't allowed ice cream. :-P

Images I've seen so far aren't awe-inspiring, will probably pass on this one. Might take one out for a rental though just to make sure.

It looks pretty good. It looks 3D pop in one. I'm not sure why people say the bokeh doesnt look good. Even the 105 1.4 sometime doesn't impress me when people can't post process it well.

I think bokeh is all about picking/choosing your background too.

Talley you're our last hope in seeing some good samples here. So much for their supposed ship date.

I really like this sample shot. If AF is fast and I see more sample like this, it's a buy. http://www.sigma-global.com …images/original​_img02.jpg (external link)
