Re: Thanks for the experiments

Your shots are the best examples I've seen showing the difference in contrast between lenses.

I note the Canon's background is brighter and richer. Red plant on the right edge, and the orange whatever is significantly different in the pix from the two lenses.

The Canon is a great lens, don't get me wrong - especially at f/4. I think the colours are more pleasing to my eye at the same WB. Check out the pale spruce top on the guitar. It has ever so slightly a warmer look to it. Nothing that's so drastic that can't be tweaked in post for the Sigma, of course but both lenses were set to the same manual WB for the shots to keep tests consistent.

So perhaps the lower contrast is what makes the foreground "pop."

It could very well be, or a combination of factors I guess.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for your kind words, and you are most welcome.

Cheers,

Mark.
