I bought a new lense......sort of.....Sigma 30 mm 1.4

Who doesn't love a good cry baby face?

Coffee time! 

Taylor loves his dsi and Brenna loves her popsicle creation.

Every night I put a glass of water on my bedside table, because I get thirsty in the middle of the night and every morning Liam goes to it and drinks the rest or some and spills the rest.

Still his favorite food!


On to the lens review.



I bought this lens for it's low light capabilities and it's mid-point price range. I read tons of reviews on it and knew that some people had mis-focus issues and some did not. I decided to take my chances and see if I got a good copy. I didn't......it was slow focus and mis-focus. Now many people say that you can send it in and get it calibrated, but it can take a few tries and I'm just not willing to do that so I sent it back. On top of all the focus issues it was way soft wide open. It didn't show sharpness until it was stopped down to f2 and the focus was still an issue....so bye, bye Sigma! A couple of the pics above were taken with dialed down, bounced flash but that defeats the purpose of why I bought the lens. And a couple are available light. Out of all the pics I got from this lens I kept maybe 5% if that.
