The Sigma me had reports of incorrect focusing initially put off something. After all, it had been much revealed that I bought both lenses and was able to test.
The Canon made a good impression, is a little further from her image, focused well. A small drawback is that the lens hood must be bought quite expensive individually.
At Sigma, however, this is already included. What surprised me was the rather different feel and appearance - slightly larger, heavier, very black, very solid. Come on what forth on the camera. And just by the Technical ago. Already showing the first sighting shots that in dim light is possible, as the Canon, thanks to the larger initial aperture. The images are sharp, and a small test with the Focus tool from Traumflieger showed no defocus. Autofocus is fast and accurate even in low light.
More photos have little trouble with chromatic aberrations shown in both lenses, but could easily be removed in Lightroom itself. Both have a slight edge blur, but do not mind me and noticed only in the 100% view at full aperture - the one so often now not used. The Bokeh is equal pleasantly soft with nice round lights at two in Aperture 1.8. With 1.4 they are more edgy at Sigma. The small focal length difference of 2mm weight to a minimum, unless the court for half a step backwards missing.
Ultimately, I decided for the sigma - the choice was difficult, was mainly due to greater light intensity and thus light capabilities, a little but also the feel. With the Canon one is equally well-advised - you can do anything wrong when neither of the two. Ultimately counts what you do with it much more than technology details.
Summary:
- Not very easy (a good bit heavier, slightly larger than the Canon)
- Bokeh slightly edged with Aperture 1.4
+ Bokeh still nice :-)
+ Possibly slightly cheaper
+ Lens hood with this
+ Sharp images
+ Autofocus quickly
+ Very good in low light
+ Looks good and high quality :-)
All in all: a great lens!
