The Make up Party

Hi everyone,
         This week-end I will do another photo shoot with a make-up artist named Dimitra. It's great to know she lives near me, because it will be easier to meet and make projects together. If everything goes well, I might just have another invaluable contact in this industry.

         In another topic, I want to buy another lens. I am hesitating between the sigma 50mm 1.4 and the Canon 50mm 1.2L lens. There is a big price difference between the two (like; three times the price).

        On one hand I love the Canon L series. I already have the 135 and I'm spoiled by it. Also build quality is addictively excellent. But I find it a bit to long for indoor portraits. Also 1.2 is not really better than 1.4, but I just don't trust Sigma that much having read the reviews on the net. But dammit, 1.6K is so much!!!!

         Though choice to make.

Just as a follow-up. I bought both the 85mm 1.8 and the 50mm 1.4. I'm not really satisfied with the 50mm, so I think I will sell it.

- Motor is noisy and even more noisy since the last week for no apparent reason: I treat my stuff good.
- Quality of construction is cheap.
- Might get the 35L, so it can help me pay it.
