Life is Great in F/2.8!

Life's better at f/1.4!

Yup, but too bad, that aside from 50mm, there are not many lenses in this category and even fewer that are not costly and/or heavy.

This was shot at f.2.8 and 1/10 of a second handheld with the Sigma 18 to 50mm lens. Considering the slow shutter speed I did not expect much, but was pleasantly surprised.

Looks good to me... I like the blue tint around the window, was that added in post or was there some sort of light effect going on?

No that was the accurate colour.

Im looking into this same lens and comparing it to the regular Tamron 17-50 and the new 17-50 VC version. Im leaning Sigma so im excited to see what you think of it!

I know, my bad!

Very nice, you mentioned before that one lens didnt come with a hood, was it this one or the 80-200? It looked like it came with a hood and a fairly nice case. Also, i heard the front lens cap was kind of crummy, thoughts?

The Sigma came with a hood, the 80-200 does not. The case for the Sigma is nice, and I've had no issues with the lens caps on this or my Sigma 18-250 HSM OS.

Very cute, looks like you have some great models to work with!

Sounds like a go, i think ill place the order this week!

Yeah, they cooperate most of the time... however over the weekend I did get this response when framing a shot of my daughter (above) while she was resting on the couch:

"Dad, I just want to watch cartoons now... OK?"

Congratulations, Noyze, the pictures look great.
