"Tim" said:tom- never tried manual focus. ; my camera would be better suited if i had the ee-s focus screen (better manual focus). ; the problem with that is slower lenses (f/2.8 and slower) tends to make the viewfinder a bit darker than the ee-d that i have now. ;
"goofmick" said:Tom, do you use the Sigma 30 on your D-90?
"zackiedawg" said:Oh, and of course, if you BUY the Sigma 30mm F1.4, you'll want to do that by clicking the B&H banner here on TMIP. ; Right Tim?
"Grumpwurst" said:Wow just checked out B&H and that Nikkor 35/1.8 is around $199 and the Sigma 30/1.4 that Tom recommended is over $400. ; I almost choked on my lunch when I saw the price of the 35mm. ; That is about what I paid for my 50/1.8
I think you misunderstood me. ; I was expecting that lens to be MSRP around $400-500 like the Sigma 30/1.4. ; When I saw $199, it took everything I had to just not snatch that sucker up. ; To me a lens with those kind of review for $199 is a steal"WDWFigment" said:Personally, I think the Nikon 35 is only so expensive because it's hot and new. ; It's a lens that's difficult to find right now, and as such, places are charging full MSRP. ; Give it a year, and I'll bet it will be easy to find for $150 (although that doesn't help if you need it now).

"Roger" said:Old one isn't.
AF-S is $450, ; Sigma 50/1.4 is $499.
"WDWFigment" said:I know Jeff had/has the Sigma 50/1.4, and after seeing his pictures, I would definitely pay $50 more for the Sigma version of that lens. ; It was dreamy.
