changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4 - davidmanze - 08-17-2017 Quote:If you ever get hands on both lenses, you might ask yourself how much sense can be found in a comparison between these two.Well we all know that "bokeh beauty is in the eye of the beholder". But I think both lenses do well......a portrait lens is a bit of a one trick pony....away from there it has little benefit in most situations over a decent 70-200mm F2.8. The Sigma with it's size and weight is restrictive as you say. I don't shoot many portraits so my clunky old 85mm AF-F1.8D will have to do, although the Sigma 150mm macro does a better job! changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4 - Rover - 08-18-2017 Maybe the old Sigma 85/1.4 is an option too... (by far not as large/heavy as the Art). I wanted one for ages until the Tamron came out and messed up my priorities. changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4 - JJ_SO - 08-18-2017 Yeah, but did you buy the Tamron at the end? changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4 - Brightcolours - 08-19-2017 Quote:Maybe the old Sigma 85/1.4 is an option too...

Also, it has also very strong LoCA like the Canon 85mm f1.8 STM. It lacks the Canon's low weight and fast AF. The Csnon is a better idea, and the Tarmon a way better idea. changing a winning team ?85f1.8 instead of 50f1.4 - Rover - 08-19-2017 Quote:Yeah, but did you buy the Tamron at the end?Nope, but only because I have hit a financial rough spot and had to refrain from buying gear altogether (for the foreseeable future, at the very least). The only purchase of this year was the cheap Canon 24-85 lens. |
