Let me preface this by saying that I love Canon's colour science. I love the M50 and the m100 before it.

I've always had good results with the 22mm and adapted 50mm 1.8 STM with very little effort and post editing.

I've gone on a recent splurge and bought two of the Sigma primes - the 30mm and 56mm. The autofocus is nice and snappy on both and I get nice clean images.

However the Canon colours and image 'pop' that I was getting with ease before is not there. I find the colours and rendition more muted and sterile.

Am I crazy?

Not crazy but probably a little confirmation bias.

While lens character will differ between lenses, I can’t imagine why Sigma lenses would lose their “pop”.

Best if you could take a picture with all 4 lenses for comparison.
