This video has really helped my decision! I'm going for the Sigma. Thanks a lot.

To make myself clear... I like creamy bokeh but I also and in the same time better like incredible sharpness (on eyes for example). So I would use this lens stopped down about F2 or F2.2 to avoid softness and be 100% sure that the AF won't miss, what you say, can it do the sharpness, that I mean?

I'm hesitating between the canon and the sigma, the sigma looks better although but I'm terribly afraid of a bad copy which will have front/back focus because the calibration is a long procedure in which I have to send back the body too again to some hundred kilometers. Many rumors say that the Sigma has this defect, if not all of them, a lot of copies though. What you say?

I have bought a Canon 550D recently, together with a Canon EF 85mm F1.8 USM. Either the body or the lens has a defect, because I noticed front focusing and sent them back together for calibration. I want to buy a 50mm f1.4 as I do mostly portraiture and 85mm isn't enough alone, because on a crop body it gives only the tele-look.
Trust me on this.....Anyone weighing up which lens to get out of the Canon 1.4 50mm and the Sigma 1.4 50mm In this case between these two lens the Sigma outways the canon by a long shot as afr as back/front focus issues with sigma......I have a sigma 50mm and have no issues at all!. But If you want ultimate sharpness and creamy out of focus quality you going to have to save your pennys for L glass! trust me when I say this, the saying is true once you go L glass you will never go back!

@mervie17 Yes it should work no problems you may want to try the canon 50mm f1.8 its a sharp lens and only 99pounds. Is yours a 1000d?. I only got the sigma for the build quality has its built like a tank and i give it lots of stick lol .
