I was out looking to do bokeh test shots with lights in the background with my new Sigma 35mm/1.4 and came upon this scene. This Sigma has onion rings in the lights reportedly due to it's aspherical elements but in reality you don't see them that much it seems. If you are shooting with available light, usually the high values in lights get clipped. But if you are shooting with a flash fill on the subject you can see them and only if it's a really large diameter light in the background. Nevertheless, the lens is shaping up to be a good candid lens so far.
Thank you, Gentlemen. Here's one more that was too big to upload the first time:
“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”

Almost looks as though it is being backlit by a forest fire. Nice shot.
