Well done!
But I'm a little disappointed with the result. The lens provides a stable misses on the MDF.
I made an amendment to the AF Microadjustment 15, was better but now misses to infinity. For someone such things happen? The lens is selected from the 5 pieces!
Sorry for my english)

Sigma's wider lenses are often very inaccurate and have to be calibrated by sigma. I had to send my 24mm and 50mm to sigma (with my camera body) for calibration. It was free. Where I live (Taiwan), my camera shop takes care of everything for me.

A good photographer can take extraordinary photos anywhere, with any camera and any lens while a mediocre one will take mediocre ones everywhere, with every camera and every lens.
Never limit yourself with what others think you should do. Shoot what you find interesting, exactly the way you want to.

^^Very nice composition and PP. The figure really adds some drama...

Thanks.

pkilla - The problem with this lens when shooting at low light is that it doesn't lock focus in very low light, where my Sigma 50mm F1.4 does without any real problems.
