An 31mm lens on APS-C (="48mm f/2.5") is not really an obvious candidate for this.

f1.8 makes it more of an obvious candidate though... Even at f2.7 (not f2.5) equivalent you still can get a lot of blur in images, and then bokeh assessment is not so strange.

Great to see this re-test this lens.



But, I have to agree that if one is buying this lens then it's probably to use at the wider apertures and bokeh is of interest.



Looking at my images from one the Sigma 28mm f/.8 II lenses (a poor man's FA31 f/1.8!), it was a often candidate to seperate foreground/background, even stopped down to f/2.8:



@f/2:





@f/1.8:







Darn, why'd I sell that lens...I'm still poor.
