Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM

I will try to make it short before going to my bed.

Today was the first day I played with the Sigma 85. Luckily, I got a very nice copy with no focus issue and 0 MA from my 5D II.

I was amazed. Seriously, the image quality is just amazing. It seems that it was a best move when I decided to go with the Sigma over the Canon.

I'm gonna have a good sleep tonight

probably been asked a million times but this is a long thread and the search isnt helping...

how does the CA compare to the canon 1.8 version? better? worse?

Better.

Happy shooting.

Congrats, definitely looks tack sharp. Did you test the focus at further distances yet? Mine always hits target close up but was spotty before I sent it in. After testing quite a bit more and with 2 weddings shot under my belt with it, I can definitely say it's much better. Here's one testing my new studio backdrop with my old man.

^Your old man looks like a really young man. Nice portrait of your father.

Thanks Ken, he's just shy of 50 haha. Unfortunately he looks young due to a tumor wrapped around his optical nerve that stopped testosterone from producing for many years. Gift and a curse I guess but he's in great shape and feels better than he has in years which is good.

Thanks Chris.

very nice, coibeo2610. If you dont mind me asking how did you create your logo there ?

I just got around to taking a look at some pictures from a wedding on Friday. I just love how this picture came out.

Thanks Jay.

About the logo, I simply used the Lunar Bar font for "Cuong Lai" and Gothic font for "Photography". These both were made from CS5 as well.

@coibeo2610: carefully with changing the temperature... check her eyes and teeth. Kinda yellowish :P

Thank you. I actually didn't change the temperature. I think it's caused from the texture layer that was used.
