Just got this back from Sigma for a re-calibration and decided to do some self and family portraits. #1 was shot at 2.8, #2&3 at 5.6. Comments welcome. Enjoy :D

Honestly it's as sharp at 1.4 as it is at 2.8 which is very sharp. I tested it with my Tamron 17-50 2.8 at 2.8 and with my Canon 50 1.8 at 1.8 and 2.8 and it was sharper than both.
