Sigma 20mm f1.4

[JimFox]

@Kyle Jones i seem to recall that you had the Sigma 20mm f1.4? I also think you weren't too happy with it?

If you had/have it, what are your thoughts? I need a faster then f2.8 wide angle lens in Nikon F Mount that has an Aperture ring as I want to use it with a manual adapter.

If anyone else has experience with this lens, please chime in too.

Thanks!

I don't have it. Both Sigma's 20mm and 24mm are supposed to have pretty bad coma.

Thanks Kyle, I thought that's what I remembered hearing from somewhere then.

@Kyle Jones Didn't you have a fast 20mm before? Or was it a 24mm that you moved on from?

I was using the Samyang 24/1.4. I always had to stop it down to f/2 for decent sharpness. It was my go-to 24mm until I got Canon's new 24/1.4 VCM.

Hmmm, did you have to go through a bunch of copies of it to find one that wasn't decentered? Or is that issue just with their 14mm's?

I could work with f2, I have found f2 compared to f2.8 actually seem like a huge difference.

I only bought/tried one and it was fine.
