Yeah I ordered it instead of the Nikon 1.4G because its a better lens. Even though I'm a fan of Nikon glass and own a few Trinities, I went with Sigma for the 50 primer.
Its around $100 more than the Nikon, between the BHPHOTO education discount and NAPP discount I got it at a decent deal =)
I dont hate sigma but do find 50mm a little odd length for a full frame. I much rather go with 85mm or go wider like 35 or 24. I havent touch my 50mm in ages

When I shot 35mm that's all I ever used. It's close to the FOV of me eye closed. Now I am seeking a good 35mm lens, but find that 28mm is a bit awkward at 1.6xSo odd that its called "normal."Schwettylens said:I dont hate sigma but do find 50mm a little odd length for a full frame.

I am not kidding about me not have touched my 50mm in ages. I rather go beyond 70mm or go a lot wider when I shoot. Personal reference I guess. I consider 50 mm as like in between sizes... just..... 20 more mm and you can use 70-200. I rather just use the 70-200... thats all im saying.
Im about to order sigma 85. Probably place the order tomorrow night.
Actually I just shot that boudoir and had to use my 50mm again due to room restriction. My 90mm macro was too long on most shots while my 35 is too distorted if shot too close.
So why do you prefer 50 over 24-70 for studio work? I feel that on studio work you mostly shoot with smaller aperture anyway and 24-70 nikon is crazy sharp. Just wondering.
