The Tamron is a great lens, but so is the sigma.
FL range is the sigmas strong point as is the almost macro.
Personally F2.8 at 50mm is nice, but at 70mm would be even nicer for portraits.

They are very similar, which is not surprising. If you take an average of many pictures it might be more evident, but clearly and as time progressess, its going to be particular aspects of IQ, like extreme low noise or features like HDR and fps that are going to make people move to a new camera.

I'm thinking everyone chip in and we use it as a forum loan lens.
To be passed on when first borrower gets fed up with it.
I bagsy first.

I got a beat Industar 61 which blew me away for its sharpness.
Sure there are sharper lens out there, but when you look at it you wouldn't expect it at all.

Its not very sharp at F4.5, but at F8 its quite good but PF is still there.
At F4.5 it can be "severe". Otherwise quite a decent lens for not much money, value wise I would be very good if it wasn't for the PF.
Mine was cheaper but it is M42, which isn't as easy to mount.

*day dreams*
You've allways wanted to try...
You can't afford it!
It's F1.4...
You can't afford it!
Eating is overrated...
Wouldn't you like a Super telephoto instead?...

So as I was saying... can't justify it...

Its price is kind of ridiculous when you think of what the price of FA 50 SHOULD be, and the price at which you can get so many fast manual fifties.
