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.


Canon - 1/30, f/2.8, ISO 500




Sigma - 1/30, f/2.8, ISO 500




Canon - 1/40, f/2.8, ISO 500




Sigma - 1/40, f/2.8, 500




Canon - 1/50, f/2.8, ISO 320




Sigma - 1/50, f/2.8, ISO 320

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!

Denise
