Please advise and thanks for your input in advance! -RM P.S.: I’m an amateur photographer and currently own a Canon 550d (T2i). One more thing I'd like to add is that the bokeh quality and rendition also is important in this consideration. I also would like to do some videos with this lens (home use only – nothing professional). I’m looking for some actual experiences from the users and their advice/recommendation on the particular application for me which is mainly low-light scenarios. Another possibility I see is the trusty Canon EF 35 1.4 L or the New 35 F/2 IS lens.
However, I'd like to stay away from Sigma until someone can convince me otherwise. So, what do the experts recommend as an alternate 30 or 35 mm lens that will give Quality sharpness and accurate auto-focus especially in low light scenarios? I’ve heard good things about the New Sigma 35 1.4 or the 30 1.4 “Art” lens which also has a USB-dock for correcting the focus issues. I know there are several people who are happy with this lens but I’m just about ready to find something to replace it. However, even then, I sometimes feel that it lacks the sharpness that I expect from a prime. Another thing I’ve tried is using a 2.5X viewfinder over the screen to manually focus (Live View) especially for the video. My main purpose is to use it in indoor low-light scenarios where it has proven not so friendly as far as the auto-focus goes. I’ve even had it calibrated by Sigma once and yet it focuses wherever it pleases (in low-light). However, it started giving me focus issues after a few months I had bought it and to date I’m underwhelmed with the focusing. I’ve had this lens for a while (going on the fourth year now) and have had some good initial phases of luck with it. My fellow ’ers, I write here after continuous attempts and long contemplation regarding the decision whether I should keep my Sigma 30 mm f/1.4 DC HSM lens or not (this is the original 30mm lens not the “Art” version) which only works for APS-C cameras.
