Hey,
Been debating whether to pick up another lens lately.
I currently have a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 that I am so happy with that it has made me think about grabbing a Sigma 50mm f1.4.
The question I have (and I know there are plenty of factors that go into this, but I'm specifically looking for YOUR thoughts), considering my current lens covers 50mm at f2.8, is it worth grabbing the f1.4?
The reason it isn't an automatic yes is because I own a Canon 50mm f1.8, which, quite honestly, I am pretty satisfied with considering the price. Though, I really do not like the handling of the lens for video work...the focus ring is just not to my liking.
Having said that, I much prefer the size of the Sigma, the better bokeh, better contrast levels, etc.
If I didn't have the Canon, I would have pulled the trigger on this without hesitation, now I'm not so sure.
What are your opinions? Stick with the Canon and put the dollars into an additional lens or ditch the Canon and grab the Sigma?
