![]() ![]() I'm going to hold out until close to the end of the Canon rebate (April 27th) for more reviews before making a final decision, though. (DxO will correct CA in JPEGs if you need to go that way.) If you get the 28mm f/1.8 plan to shoot RAW as I don't think that the 60D will correct chromatic aberration in camera. (I know I can only optimize it to just one body, but that's OK.)Īll three lenses are excellent options, and no you can't do much better without spending a lot more. The other nice-to-have is micro focus adjustment on the Sigma despite the fact that my bodies are Rebels. Therefore, despite the fact tha B&H is currently selling the 28mm f/1.8 for $430, I'm going to get the new Sigma. ![]() However, after reading the Shutter Journey review, I remember that there is just no substitute for f/1.4 in subject-background isolation. The new 30 suffers from longitudinal chromatic aberration (purple fringing) while the 28mm f/1.8 has pretty bad lateral CA - which is easy to fix in good RAW software. Min focus distance and focus speed are fixed. What we can say is that the new 30mm f/1.4 is better but not mind-bogglingly better than the old one. There are only two reviews of the new Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Art up so far one on Lenstip and the otheron Shutter Journey. That has been fixed in the new 30mm f/1.4, as apparently has the AF. it was great for static subjects, but the minimum focus distance was frustratingly long, which was the real deal killer for me. Never object to spending less money if the IQ is good.I rented the old Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for the birth of my daughter this last December. Would love to hear from folks that have used these lenses and could offer some advice.also if anyone thinks I should just go for the $110 50mm 1.8 I'd love to hear that angle as well. ![]() Sigma is a bit more $$$ and I still am not sure about the quality of Sigma om reading the forums and various reviews it seems like Sigma has a significantly higher rate of bad quality product then does Canon. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 I believe would equate to like 48mm on a crop body so much more like a true 50mm portrait lens. Was thinking of going with the nifty-fifty but given that the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 is only another $200 or so then that seems like the xtra-money for the better build and slightly faster lens would be money well spent.my only question is if 50mm on a crop is actually too long. I know this is not exactly apples to apples but looking for a prime for the 60D for indoor portraits and video. I don't have any experience with the 35 f/2, but the 35L is a gem, if you feel like spending some serious cash. I just don't like the 80mm equivalent length on crop and you are stuck using the Sigma 30mm or the (terrible) Canon 28mm. I've used the 50mm 1.4 on FF and really like it - my copy is tack sharp with reliable focus. I'm not a fan of the velvet finish Sigma puts on their lenses, either. Keep in mind that the resale on the Sigma is worse and QC is hit or miss with their lenses. The FOV of the 30mm is better on crop than 50mm, which is too long to be a classic walk-around prime on APS-C, IMO. I'd like to have something that will work with the speedlite AF beam as (at least with the 50mm lens) AF in low light is atrocious with the T2i. I do not own a speedlite but am considering the 30mm Sigma to compliment my 50mm F1.8 (returned the 50mm F1.4). Is it true that the 30mm Sigma can not use the AF assist beam in the speedlites to AF? Shouldn't the face we are comparing fill the same ammount of the picture to best judge distortion (moving the camera closer for the 30mm picture)) It looks like you kept the distance of the camera the same? To compare distortion/portrait appropriatness would using a similar FOV be more apple and apples comparison? (I'm not sure if FOV is what I am getting at. It looks like there is less distortion looking at the lines in the cabinets/door/bar stool? Also the face looks less round in the "S" picture perhaps just because not smiling or is that an effect of the lens? I like the "S" picture on the right better. ![]()
