Yes very happy as it's one of my workhorses! :)

Well I feel like a relieved idiot updating you on the lens but I've cured the problem. Took the lens off the camera to have a look through the glass like dinners suggested and I could see 3 water marks on the inner element (the one closest to the camera when attached). So I gave it a quick...

Tried the lens without the filter on and it's exactly the same. Have noticed my sensor is filthy though - could that be the source of the problem even though other lenses bokeh is fine. No matter what lens I use and point to the sky the same dots appear which is obviously the sensor - but only...

I'll have a test tonight. Spoke to the suppliers today and they asked me to test it without a filter on the front too - so I'll give that a whirl too.

I've emailed the supplier a link to this thread for their advice - I may just take my body and lens into them this weekend to have a butchers.

Ok, just taken the same photo with the 35mm 1.4 (suspected faulty) and the 50mm 1.4. Sigma 35mm. (notice the same marks) 100% on the 35mm Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art 100% on the 50.

That's what I thought DROJ. I'll do some thorough testing later this week and keep you posted for those that are interested. :)

I'll do both of your suggestions later today, thanks for the input. :)

I was playing around with some out of focus shots yesterday at a wedding with my new Sigma 1.4 35mm (Art) lens and I've noticed some really strange dots on my image... Now I haven't had chance to test a different lens yet, but I'm suspecting this is from the lens and not the camera? What do...

Cheers Jim and ChickenDipa.

Thanks very much!

Thanks everyone. I can promise he doesn't look this cute when he's chewing everything!

Thanks Siltyg - I can only seem to get good photos of him at the minute when he's sat still - as my 5D Mkii is quite slow at focusing... Maybe when there's some better light in the next few days I'll get some action shots of him.

Thanks!
