I still have my first copy of the Sigma 50mm f1.4. It does have a +13 MFA, while the Canon lenses I have don't need more than +5. Also the 5 year warranty is great.


Anyway about cheap lenses: I looked at the 28mm f2.8 the other day. I thought it was a piece of junk, untill I looked up and saw Bryans ISO-crops. Wow! And it's even a Canon lens! To me it definitely seems like a hidden gem. I never heard of anyone using it...


And Denise as you say, the Tamron is great, but obviously the primes are much better.
