I just got mine back from Sigma after a 3 week hiatus there. I couldn't MA it enough to make it good. Now that I have it back, I still needed to MA it, but it is at roughly the same value as all my other lenses (which means the 7D is off a bit), and I really like it. I have 2 buyers lined up for this (first one here on POTN, backup buyer on FM), but after I get more time with it this weekend, I may decide to keep it after all! :)

The last time I saw bokeh this creamy was when I had my 85L.

Couple pics of the little one, and caught a 2nd shot of her being defiant. (Sure it's cute now, but since I have a teenager, I know how this is going to progess... :()

Mine took a month for the AF to get fixed, but now it is one of my favorite lenses.

The more I use this lens, the more I like it. The bokeh, the sharpness, the "drawing style", the colors, I love it all.


5d2, f/2, basically SOOC....

Here is a 50 meets 500 at F1.8. The lens is sharp. I only apply -10 MA.

Bought mine like a year ago...The SN is 1005064, mine was sent in for calibration but when I did it was only at -5 MA (i think) It's at ZERO MA now.
