    What model of Nikon do you shoot with? IMHO I would pick up a Sigma 30 1.4 if you shoot on a DX sensor camera to get a shallower depth of field and a wider perspective.

    If you just want to replace the lens, I think the Sigma 50 1.4 has much nicer rendering for portraits than the Nikon 50's do, though Nikon's 50 is a bit sharper edge to edge.

    • I shoot with the D90.desmo
    • if you don't mind manual focus, and want a nice bokeh, I love my OLD 50mm F2.0 AI lensvaxorcist
    • Some copies of the Sigma 30mm 1.4 are supposedly better than others....vaxorcist
