Re: 50mm FOV lens for APS-C?

I have the 35F2IS and the older Canon 35F2. The newer lens is better than the old one. I have used the 35F2IS on full frame and crop. It is an excellent lens and great for portraits. AF is very fast and accurate, the lens works fine at F2, and IS will let you get shots at very low shutter speeds when shooting in low light.

The T value puts the lens close to faster lenses that are supposedly F1.4.

I like the size and weight, and wouldn’t trade it for the Sigma. I do have a couple of Sigma macro lenses and they are excellent. AF is accurate on the Sigma macro lenses, but slower than on the Canon F2. You may not get as accurate AF on Sigmas with large maximum apertures….
