  1. With all of the films being renamed or discontinued ive found myself

    a bit confused. see <a

    O=WishList.jsp&A=details&Q=&sku=194527&is=USAW</a>... is this the old

    supra? or a different name for one of the current offerings? any

    insight would be appriciated.

  2. its too bad the test wasnt done on a FF body. id like to see the difference in corner sharpness in the "real" corners, the difference here @ f2 & 2.8 is almost shocking. this test also doesnt address the barrel distortion in the 1.4 (it may not even apparent on digital though). sometimes i even liked the bokeh on the 1.8 when i had it, particualrly when say there were little gaps of light poking through whatever was in the background, i actually like those little pentagons. the 1.4 certainly handles better though.

     

    all in all though, i think for most people the 1.4 may not be worth the cost if they shoot digital. if they need a little more speed they can just bump the iso up a notch. ofcourse sometimes theres just no substitute for a faster lens.

  3. i own the sigma 20 and have enjoyed it very much. i chose it over the canon 20 because i had read that though the canon is nice and sharp in the center, the quality falls off quite a bit closer to the edges... also the sigma's speed is very nice (though it is soft below 2.8), and i got a pretty good deal on it. i cant speak to any color cast on the sigma as i havent processed any color rolls since i got it a couple months ago. the sigma is quite big, but i dont mind that till i have to stow it in my bag...

     

    if you shoot film/1d/1ds, or in low light, and dont mind the size from what ive read & experienced the sigma may be a better choice.
