MS's reviews

  • Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    IQ, IS, rugged
    none

    Wow. I wish all lens had the IQ this one does. The resolution, color and bokeh are all top notch. IS and autofocus work great. Nice build quality, plastic but very good plastic and as a result light weight for its size. This is perhaps the top "bang for the buck" of the L glass since the IQ as a tele is in the "best of the best" short list, as is the IQ for macro, so two top lens in one. Plus this lens won't get stranded when I upgrade from 50d to 5d3 full frame.

  • Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Excellent IQ

    I'll give it a 10 because I got a very recent copy and it does not have any meaningful focus shift and the autofocus is working well even in low light. The bokeh is great, color is very good though Canon L sometimes, but not always, beats it. Overal IQ is very, very good. Excellent build quality.
