Re: v2.0 of the Canon vs Sigma Bokeh Test (indoors)

Great comparisons, thank you. Its strange Ive looked at hundreds of images on flickr from each of these lenses and I always prefer the bokeh from the Canon when viewing web images. But in side by side comparisons that I have seen including this one the Sigma is always the clear winner...weird. I do believe that bokeh cannot be judged at 100%, It can only be judged when viewing an overall image which is why your samples work so well. I am really surprised that the Sigma shows so much more bokeh at the same apertures. However, I have always noticed that the Sigma produces double lines in bokeh areas which has put me off it. I will definitely have to revisit this comparison when I finally do upgrade my original 35 f2 which does not have great bokeh but with which I can get great images btw.

I like the Sigma 24A it seems to have better bokeh than the 35A and its a nice size/weight.
