Re: PESO: The Moon in Perigee

Thanks Godfrey. The closer to the horizon, the more interesting the atmospheric effects, but sharpness is lost. I just shot when I happened to notice that the moon was visible from my front yard, but I think I lucked out in getting some of the close to the horizon color but not a lot of

Larry, Good friend of mine has Sigma lens in Canon mount. He's using it on 5dmk3. The results are excellent. Wide open center sharpness is really good. The rendering of this lens is also very pleasing to his and actually to my eye as well. So if you really need 1.4 over 1.8, you cannot really go

Larry, I perfectly understand your dilemma. But... Selling 31/1.8 to purchase Sigma 35/1.4 is like selling your left kidney to finance the surgery on your right one. IMHO, 31/1.8 is just too good of a lens to let it go. It is almost as good as 77/1.8. The rendering of both of these is so

Larry, The first photo is very good. The second one can benefit from some trimming, but I am not sure if even that would help with that bright thing in the left bottom corner. I'd try to spot-treat it to tune down the brightness of that object. Sorry, but I find that logic (quoted below)
