Prefer the Sigma

In reply to treepop, Feb 17, 2012

I bought the Sigma based on all the reviews I read. I'm very happy with it on my 5D. I recently borrowed a brand new Canon 50mm 1.4 to compare it with, and at large apertures, which is where I shoot most of the time, the Sigma was clearly superior. I also don't have any focusing issues.
