Bought another toy :(

Just picked up the Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG of a forum member for my 1d. First impressions are good, blows away the f1.8 that will now be gathering dust in my drawer! I'm now a very happy chappy, time to go annoy the girlfriend and ask her to pose

(All I need now is the 70-200 2.8 mk2)

I was going to ask how young your girlfriend was...

Looks pretty sharp where I'm sitting!

I was about to ask how old is your Mrs lol.

 

[Chris Primadona]

haha, this is the mrs (Sporting her new blonde hair) taken wide open f1.4
Flickr seems to have sharpened it a bit more than I would have liked though.

She's not looking too happy at having a lens stuffed in her face .

I'd be happy with the latest kit addition with results like the above.

I love mine on my D700

Your missus doesn't look old enough to have a daughter of that age!!

Very nice lens, nice and sharp... any chance of taking pics with the 1.8 and the 1.4 for comparison?

+1!!

I had my daughter with my ex (few years older then my current).

I will see about taking some comparison shots with the canon f1.8, but you can see the difference even on the lcd! Its on a totally different level.
