Im trying to hold out till my my stimulus check comes before I order this lens but this is sooo tempting!

Hows it focus outside on distant subjects? Does it give a warm color cast compared to your canons?

Welcome to the 30/1.4 club, but we need to stop with these "Sigma 30mm why did I wait so long" threads that pop up once a week :lol:

Seriously though, the 30/1.4 is an awesome lens with some "magic" to it. It is known to have a temper at times. Bokeh can range from buttery smooth to ugly, especially with highlight areas which usually produces "C"-shaped bokeh for me. Learn the limitations of the lens (color cast, long MFD, etc), workaround them, and you will love it as much as I do.
