Canon 85mm f/1.8 vs. Sigma 85mm f/1.4 - Take 2
Good Morning -
I received my 2nd copy of the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 about 1/2 hour ago. Although it is way too early for me to tell which I prefer. Here's what I've come up with so far ...
The 2nd Sigma copymost definitely does not have the clanking hunting issue going on like my first copy that I mentioned in a previous post.Here is a link to another users same problem ...

AF is quick but hmmm....not quite as quick as the Canon f/1.8. Although I have not tested it yet on moving subjects yet (my dogs are sleeping but their turn will come). All I have really done in the last 1/2 hour is test the subjects below. If you click on the photos, you can view them better in flickr.

Please let me know your opinions. Or if there are other ways I should be testing these. Also, it might be fair to mention that the Canon has a AF Microadjustment of -3.
Thanks so much!
