Hi everyone,
I am looking at a prime lens for the MK111
at present considering Sigma 35 or 50 mm 1.4 in the 35 I am quite attracted to the new "Art" series lenses
Any thoughts
I will primarily use it for portraiture (new & existing grand children and street shots)
At present very happy with 24-105 and 17-34 L series :lens:

Maybe the 50 1.4, opens up a whole new world for playing with depth of field, working in low light etc.

I haven't tried the new art series but they get good reviews.

A 50mm focal length on FF is more conducive to portraiture, the 35 is a little wide and may give the "big nose" effect. However, the Sigma 35mm f1.4 is a gem.

Thanks for the tip
I have commited to the Canon 50mm 1.2 arrives next week
from what I have read etc this is probably the best for my needs
just a "bit" pricey though :)
