So I finally made up my mind and picked up a Sigma 30mm f/1.4...

So far I like it a lot, though the focus seems a little dodgy at about 10-15 feet, however, stopping down to about f/2 seems to clear up the problem. Turns out there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to using such a large aperture lens.

Anyway, heres some pics.



The last one was actually taken by my sister while we were driving down the road.

Nice... I am thinking about dropping the 50f1.4 for the 30mm but I also want to move to FF so tough call.

Yeah, I was debating whether or not to buy the sigma.
I had decided not to buy it to start with because I want to go full frame, but then I realized that a FF camera was still a ways off. So I bought the Sigma and figured that I can always sell it for the 50mm f/1.4 when (or if) I ever move to FF.
