Good as usual

When these 50mm and 85mm Sigma EX lenses were released, they were very popular because the design was an improvement over the traditional Gauss derived models that Canon and Nikon had not yet updated. Over time and especially with the "next step" Art series lenses that Sigma subsequently released, these EX primes faded into the background. They were most notable for better central contrast and resolution at large apertures, than the Nikon and Canon equivalents, so they were favoured by photographers that prized these qualities. The edge performance was decidedly worse - especially at large apertures. That is where using these lenses on an APS-C sensor gets very interesting. The central full frame performance becomes the total frame on an ASP-C camera, so you essentially get "art series" quality images on these smaller sensor cameras. The penalty of the large size and extra weight of these lenses is compensated by the greatly reduced vignetting on the APS-C format. Now that these F 1. 4 lenses sell for less than the Canon and Nikon F 1. 8 lenses - you should give them a close look - especially for high quality APS-C portraiture work. Gosselin's used department gives you a professional inspection, a warranty, and excellent after sales service that you do not get with a private sale. I highly recommend Gosselin as the best option to acquire used gear.

Gosselin offers many excellent opportunities to acquire professionally inspected used gear with a store backed guarantee. The online listed items can be picked up from any Gosselin location or shipped directly to you. My only reason to not give five stars is that several items that are listed online are not correctly identified or they are paired with an incorrect photo. All items can be verified via a phone call to the store where they are located, so if you suspect a mistake in the listing, a quick phone call will assure you that the item is the one that you want. I have now placed online orders for over a dozen used lenses and cameras from Gosselin and all of them have proved to be excellent performers. In store and phone service is always courteous and the knowledgeable staff are very helpful with all purchase decisions.

Everything was good. Thanks
